One of the shortest Kilted Pipers I've ever seen

Found this recently and as I've never seen a thread associated with "vertically challenged" kilted pipers here on XMTS I thought I'd share.
This may be amusing to some of the Rabble...... Enjoy....

Cute.
I suspect my youngest grandson would like him.

However, Hawk you should be ashamed of yourself. The term "vertically impaired" is derogatory, and gives the impression of being unable to perform. The preferred designation is "vertically challenged". This term allows for one's personal growth.

He'll struggle to get a tune out of it whilst holding it like that.
Maybe that's why he has such a grumpy face.

Well, at least they got the proportions about right.

Most of the toy/figurine bagpipes I've seen have all three drones the same length, and may or may not have a blowpipe and chanter, which may or may not be in usable positions.

I have a ceramic figurine given to me by my sister-in-law that has four (yes, 4!) drones, all the same length, no blowstick, and something hanging off the front of the bag that's not the chanter (the stub of which may be see in the figure's hands).

Possible reasons that wee piper is so angry:

-he just put on his new kilt, hat, and bagcover and realized that nothing matches

-his trusty chanter reed, the veteran of many a gig, has suddenly decided to go south

-the wedding he's piping at is over, and the Father Of The Bride took off without paying the piper

-he just realized he forgot his ghillies

-he just found a leak in his $300 sheepskin bag

-somebody made a snide remark about his white hose ("I used to wear hose just like that... back in the 80s")
