Souvenirs

 
 
Again:
 

All the snow has turned to water,
Christmas days have come and gone.
Broken toys and faded colours are all that's left to linger on.
I hate graveyards and old pawn shops,
For they always bring me tears.
I can't forgive the way they robbed me of my childhood souvenirs.

Memories, they can't be boughten.
They can't be won at carnivals for free.
Well it took me years to get those souvenirs,
And i don't know how they slipped away from me.

Broken hearts and dirty windows
Make life difficult to see.
That's why last night and this morning
Always look the same to me.
And I hate reading old love letters
For they always bring me tears.
I can't forget the way they robbed me,
Of my sweetheart's souvenirs.

Memories they can't be boughten,
They can't be won at carnivals for free.
Well it took me years to get those souvenirs
And i don't know how they slipped away from me.

Irish Pipes

 
 
For those of you who maybe don't know, the bagpipes originated in Egypt.  Don't ask me how they made it to Scotland and Ireland ( maybe with the Romans?).  In any case here we go...
 
Scottish Pipes are played using your breath to fill the bag.  Irish Pipes use a bellows under your arm instead.  I saw the Furries in concert some years back and it was said, at the time, that you could count the all of the good players of the Irish Pipes in the world on one hand...
 
 
The interesting thing is that they sound like fiddles:

Is this the Real Deal?

 
 
Since Townhall still has a nearly worthless posting mechanism,  I will do this this rather than an update to my previous post
 
Is this the real deal?:
 
 
Almost certainly not.  But not too far from the real truth either...
 
UPDATE:
 
Here is the real deal:

Just How Stupid Can You Be...

  
...and still be Secretary of State?
 
Well you can apparently be this stupid.  (Her staff, and the State Dept.are even more pathetic).   
 
Reference here.
