there is a lady that has taken to practicing the bagpipes right by the entrance to the cemetery and i wish her all the best with her new army of the risen dead

@ana When I took up bagpipes, it took quite a while before I was sure what to do with the army. Things work out.

@ana if I was dead and someone kept playing bagpipes nearby, I'd reanimate just to move myself to a quieter cemetery

@alicemcalicepants @ana

one of my favorite bagpipe jokes:

man to bagpiper: "can you play over the hill and very far away"

bagpiper: "not sure i know that tune.

man: "no. can you play over the hill and very far away..."

@alicemcalicepants @ana

full disclosure. i do like bagpipe. but only if it's a virtuoso bagpipe player. by my definition, that's a bagpipe player who knows a 3rd song.

scotland the brave, amazing grace, and a 3rd song.

@ana I'm picturing something from Return of the Living Dead..

A Skeleton pops up out of the ground..

"So if you don't mind, some of us are trying to sleep down here."

@ana the dead are probably only rising to relocate and get some peace from her.

@ana Shit, I didn't realize "Animate Dead" was on the Bard spell list!

@alicemcalicepants @ana My wife agrees that a regular bagpiper would require her to reanimate.

@TonyaMarie I think it is one of those that you can stumble onto by accident... @ana

@ana Wonder if she’s related to the guy I saw crooning with a karaoke machine in 1960s Dean Martin style by a #Massachusetts lake this week.
