"I just wanted to say something so I would know were I was when I said something so I can find my way back. Do deaf people hear voices in their head or do they need to use sign language to get them to do something." If Robert were prone to sleepFReeping, that could be he.

Do they sing “Duke of Earl” in Chinese? We composed a version in my freshman year of college in Chinese history class. “Duke Duke Duke Duke of Chou Chou Chou, Duke of Chou Duke Duke Duke of Chou.”

If I dont listen to my voices in my head they will sing stupid annoying songs to get my attention like Duke of Earl. But they dont like Sousa marches which is kinda a problem because Sousa marches dont have any words usually. Do like me and memorize bagpipe tunes.
Not the common tunes everybody knows including "Amazing Grace," "Dark Island" and all that. I mean the slightly more esoteric (that means the "in stuff -- we know this and you don't" for pipers) "little-music" such as "Itchy Fingers" or "The Clumsy Lover" or "The Gravel Walk" or even "Farewell to Nigg" which, if I remember aright, is the only pipe tune to commemorate an oil rig! (It's in my collection somewhere.)
If you're really ambitious, go for the Piobaireachd such as "The Desperate Battle (of The Birds)" or, if you're really into sinister material try "Lasan Phadruig Caogach" (look it up) which is in English "A Flame of Wrath For Squinting Peter" -- a melody that can take up to 40 minutes or more to play through will be less irritatingly repeated.
Of course, it helps if you can finger along to the tune in your head. Which means you need to learn to play the bagpipe.
It keeps the voices down. Trust us.
You just have to like "Farewell to Nigg."

"The UT can do pert near anything as long as it doesn't have to be real..." That would make a great tagline if it weren't such an inside joke.
Stan Freberg drained Lake Michigan and refilled it with hot chocolate and a mountain of whipped cream while a giant maraschino cherry was dropped like a bomb by the Royal Canadian Air Force to the cheers of 10,000 extras viewing from the shoreline. Freberg concluded with, "Let's see them do that on television!" That bit became a commercial for advertising on radio.

The Coast Guard has some pipers up your way.

I found it while trying to remember the song Scotland the brave. Helix High School Highlander was in the same area I lived when I was in High School. Their band played it a lot. I think it was the only one they played.

"Oops. I just made post #666 this thread." We were kinda expecting Dead Corpse to get that one.
Something of a trademark of his. No problem; he was probably busy. He's the only person working up in his part of the country.
Welcome, or welcome back, to the Undead Thread. (At least November's version of it.)
