Oddly enough, this sounds like the experience I had when I took care of 3 of my friends cats for a week. 2 needed meds each day. I used to dread visiting the house each night to hunt them down.
My dog, however, doesnt even need the bacon. He'll eat whatever is put in front of his nose.
I think that he also spills my Guinness on purpose so that he can drink it while I'm going for paper towels. |

I love the music at these things but I especially like working as a vendor. Good people, great fun. Besides, when your working as a kilt vendor, you can go pants free for days at a time! |

Easily one of the most entertaining Celtic bands on the Philly scene. Great people, excellent musicians, good times! And they wrote the USAKilts anthem for us!!! |

GB's right on the money. The best on the web for Irish Gaelic is the INAC! |

The bagpipes and the octopus made me think of a conversation a few musician friends of mine were having last month.
Bogside Bob, and accordion player of immense talent, was taking a break between sets one night, and we began talking about the many other instruments that he plays. He later mentioned that he wanted to learn bagpipes next.
Tim, the guitar player, overheard this and walked over. He asked Bob, "Do you know what bagpipes are good for?"
"No", Bob replied.
"Kindling for starting accordion fires!"
True, and funny.

It's TOO hot to fire up the oven here in Philly. Any Irish/Scottish grilling recipies out there that don't involve entrails of livestock? |

Another benefit that I'm trying to prove is this: You know how folks say that fish will grow in proportion to their environment? Fish in small aquariums stay small. Larger aqauriums grow larger. Well... |

Strangely enough, my kids have decided to give a portion of their allowance to St. Jude's each year. A TV appeal really struck them when they saw kids who couldn't play baseball, or go hiking. Naturally, the wife and I help to bolster their contribution.
Keep up the great work! |

Wicked Tinkers do a great rendition of this on their HAMMERED! CD.
Nova Scotia Farewell
The sun was setting in the west The birds were singing on ev'ry tree All nature seemed inclined to rest But still there was no rest for me
Chorus: Farewell to Nova Scotia, the sea-bound coast Let your mountains dark and dreary be And when I am far away on the briny oceans tossed Will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me?
I grieve to leave my native land I grieve to leave my comrades all And my aged parents whom I always held so dear And the bonnie, bonnie lass that I do adore
The drums they do beat and the wars do alarm The captain calls, we must obey So farewell, farewell to Nova Scotia's charms For it's early in the morning I am far, far away
I have three brothers and they are at rest Their arms are folded on their breast But a poor simple sailor just like me Must be tossed and driven on the dark blue sea
