A typically great article by Lileks with only one dissent from me. Bagpipes don't honk, they SKIRL!!! Well, highland pipes skirl. Uillean (Irish) pipes do sort of sound like geese with gastrointestinal problems, but I love them also.

Bagpipes are best appreciated from a distance. I try to keep at least an ocean's width between me and them.
(And I'm half Scot, by the way....)
