But why were there bagpipes?
That was just. . .odd.
The war numbers for bagpipes were like screaming banshees.
Let me guess. We're in a hurry.

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.

Art Crawl!!!
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!!
