I bet they made him Grand Marshall because there was a rumor he was gonna march in it and play pipes. Since he (so he claims) plays Uillean pipes, it might have been entertaining to watch...for an adult audience. Children shouldn't be exposed to the sight of a grown man walking like a combination of The Mummy ("Walk this way") and a disgruntled chicken. They gave him a nice, safe job sitting in a car and waving at people. If he's waving, he can't be fingering a chanter.

Seriously, congratulations, dood. Like Dani, I hope there will be pictures.
