I know. They should be intimidating.
But why were there bagpipes?
That was just. . .odd.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

The war numbers for bagpipes were like screaming banshees.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
And not just any bagpipes but Scotland the Brave.
Yes, that was the weird part for me. I mean, piping of one sort or another has a long tradition when you want something LOUD over a big crowd of people -- but... Scotland!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I did notice that they didn't change the loop of "cultural" music when the Chinese athletes came in -- it wasn't the bagpipes that I heard, but something equally not-Chinese.

Yes, random Scotland the Brave!
Perhaps, they should do that randomly throughout the Games.

The Wall Arch in Utah's Arches national park has collapsed.
Aww! That's so sad!!
I want to go have a life, but I also want to sit on my couch and watch the Olympics nonstop for the next two weeks. Dilemma!!
