"Whit are we doin' here? I thought you said we were pickin' up papers to apply for one o' those new flats?"

"Shh, Fergus," said Euna Fife. "Come along, now." She led him to a window marked Returns Processing, which was staffed by a man with thick eyeglasses

I loved the whole thing, especially returning poor defective Fergus for not being a True Scotsman. It made me laugh out loud. I also enjoyed the ending, with the "very fancy horse" that is not a true horse but a unicorn, and the line "and you're a whatever-you-are. A Fergus." The slang alone must have taken a lot of work!

[halfshellvenus]

So much research. Why do crack and satire take so much research?!?

Poor Fergus. He deserved better!

[eternal_ot]

Amazing take!! *HATS OFF* and if you like the bagpiper music blow your own bagpiper right now!...:D..Very well done! enjoyed it!

[halfshellvenus]

I do like bagpipes, and they're not at all easy to play. I think they get unfairly criticized. ;)

So glad you enjoyed this! :D

There are few sounds more beautiful than bagpipes echoing off the Appalachians on an early spring morning -- but I have to admit, a bagpiper indoors is a fearsome thing. They're generally best listened to across an open field. :)

When I was in music school (undergrad degree), there was a bagpiper who would play in the Pioneer Cemetery next to the music school. It was a long time before I actually saw him-- you'd just hear bagpipes coming through the fog.

He was pretty good, too. :D

Oh, that sounds gorgeous. :D
