Somebody is playing the bagpipes on the street right below my office.

I'm probably more Irish than he is.
He's an O'Toole, that's for sure.

I think he's playing the Irish pipes, not the Scottish ones.
They're equally awful.

Just took MFR for a shot and now out to breakfast. She’s having a green Mimosa.

You mean he’s playing the píobaí uilleann.
I actually prefer them to the Scottish pipes.

Which sounds better, a cat being strangled or castrated?
Actually, I don't generally mind the sound of either. Just not outside my office.

I’m pretty sure that’s a more modern (~1800) name for the pipes that came from a poem referring to the original Irish War Pipes . Later the Uillen Pipes refer a specific modified design.

Irish War Pipes predate the Highlander Pipes by 100 years. The question is if both pipes were inspired by the Roman instruments…

I think the Uilleann pipes are the ones that utilize the elbow bag and have a far softer and less nasally tone. Far more musical…
