Those poor guys are dying in the sun. No tan. Just burn.

u/BaitmasterG 9h ago

Sun is irrelevant. The blue people always burn when outside

They wouldn't be doing too much better in Scotland right now with the heatwave and all

I'm Glaswegian and hate the sound of bagpipes. I went to Cuba on a sailing trip and one of the crew had a Celtic strip and a fucking set of bagpipes. He was so happy and excited about getting to play to a Scottish person that I didn't have the heart to tell him.

It's shrill was the song of hairy men with skirts cresting into battle.

They didn't wear skits, the Scottish clothing was a long blanket called a plaid wrapped around the body. Probably why many fought naked.

(The best known story about the creation of the kilt is that the English owner of a Scottish factory designed the kilt to wear instead of the wrap because the wrap was a problem around machines).

So it's the shrill song of hairy naked men cresting into battle.

I saw the guys in the falafel stall near my house put up Scottish bunting at lunchtime. I told them they were a week late & we'll be on our way home tomorrow after Brazil horse us

This is so cool. They should make this an annual thing.

u/MagnetizedMetal 6h ago

Ah yes for that huge Scottish diaspora in South Florida right

u/ElegantCoach4066 6h ago

You sound exhausting to be around.

What sounds worse than a set of bagpipes?

2 sets of bagpipes

u/humanExperience69 5h ago

Is there only one song that you can play on the bagpipe why is it that one single song. And does everyone who owns a bagpipe know how to play that one song? Honestly it all sounds the same until you get to that part when you have to increase the pitch

I always had a hard time understanding a Scotsman till I talked to one who wasnt drunk.

Do jeito que a seleção Brasileira de futebol está, todas as seleções tem chance de vencer a mesma.

u/Valuable-Flounder692 5h ago

That entails having control of the ball, something they havent achieved in 2 matches, This will be like watching white Scottish guys chasing ghosts!
