Subject: RE: Lord Inchiquin info pls
Well, Nathali, I had a dream recently in which I was second officer on one of Lord Nelson's ships. I think we were off the coast of Portugal, or maybe it was Maui, and we were attempting to gain the upper hand on a Spanish galleon. I was desperately trying to prevent one of the sailors from playing the Highland pipes, which would have given away our position to the enemy. The man was dressed in scarlet, but his hands and face were bright blue, indicating either intense cyanosis or the prior application of woad. I was finally able to embed a wad of Juicy Fruit chewing gum in his chanter, and we bested the Spaniard. Strangely enough, the tune that this benighted fool insisted on playing was none other than "Lord Inchiquin." Hope that helps.

Aloha,
Mark
