It's slowly dawning on me that it's simply not realistic to be able to get all of the Perplex City cards in Season 1 before they start Season 2.
No silver leitmark for me, I guess...

This Saturday I am throwing a party and I really don't like it. Let me explain. About 10 years ago I was really into the whole Scottish thing. I own an kilt and play the bagpipes. However, not unlike Kenu Reeves in the Matrix there has always been something wrong with this interest. I could never stay in a pipe band for more than three months without quitting in disgust. I never felt like I belonged at the Games. It was all a bad fit. Then one day I saw a program on White Supremacy Groups in the US. Among all the Nazi and Camo paraphernalia that I expected there was something else that I didn't expect. There was a guy in a kilt! Then it hit me like a thunderclap... THAT'S IT! That is why this has never worked. Whenever the KKK burns a cross they usually play "Amazing Grace" by the Royal Scots Dragoons Pipe Band. The most enthusiastic fans of the pipes in my experience were drunk rednecks. Pipes are also favored by people heavy into authority like the police, firemen and the military. I don't fit in any of those groups mindsets. Ever since then the pipes have lived untouched under my bed. However every year I get accosted by a lot of my friends to hold a Burns Night dinner complete with haggis, pipes and scotch. I put up with it, but I don't really like it. Every year I try to quit doing it and get howls of "no, you have to" from the wife and friends. So, this year, again, I will put on my happy face and grin and bear it.

Maybe you should bring that up as a topic of conversation at the party Doc. That might get you out of the next one.

So just because a musical instrument is used by ignorant and bigotted folk, you let them ruin it for you?
Let's get rid of Highways. Hitler used them.

How would you like it if everytime you played an instrument all it reminded you of is a bunch of creeps in hoods around a burning cross? Sorry. B.T.W The Hitler comparison was a pretty good one..thanks for the cuckle.

Weird. When I think of bagpipes, I think of Big Country.
Doc, exactly what is haggis, anyway?

Haggis is basically vomit stew served up in a steaming sheep's stomach.
Seriously.
When I hear of the bagpipes, I think of DQ.

I'm pretty sure that haggis was originally a cruel joke.

It's like all the worst parts of that and the Uranus thread brought to life. My complaint is that it exists.

So maybe I should add haggis to the Bar & Grill menu.

Make sure to provide too large of a portion so you have to go through the hassle of taking it home in a carryout box.
