[Sca-cooks] national talk like a pirate day

[Bill Fisher]

You mean the same as seeing the Irish and Scotish kilts at war, when at best
in period the Scots belted the brats at the across their back as a habit to
differentiate themselves from the Irish soldiers?

Dunno, you take it all in stride, let people have their fun.  It is as bad
as people using Celts to describe the Scots and the Irish.  They are 
the Gaels or Gaelic communities, which happen to have Celtic roots :-)

But people are havin their fun, and I let them have their fun.

Plus, if you wanted to be a period pirate, you could be Irish or a Viking....
which at some points was almost the same in period.

And drumming that is too loud, too slow & too repetitive (& then drowns out the talented ones).  I never mind beginning drummers.  I have had health problems & so am not the dancer I once was, but some actually try to overpower those they could be learning from.....  Leaves me praying for a good Saxon bard, or maybe an Italian, or a Celt, somebody, eeeeeekkkk....
