Did Someone Step on a Cat?

Joey is playing his heart out for International Bagpipe Day, but I seriously doubt Quinn will be impressed by his efforts. I mean, it's not like Boyz R Guyz ever released a bagpipe single, right? Ewwwww.

That said, bagpipes would be an awfully effective alarm clock, especially for those of us who just aren't feeling the time change for daylight saving time. Spring forward my ass; I'd rather have that hour of sleep back.

Today we celebrate a triple anniversary because the episodes "The Invitation," "Depth Takes a Holiday," and "A Tree Grows in Lawndale" all aired on this day in 1997, 1999, and 2000. No one played any bagpipes in any of those, but "Depth Takes a Holiday" did feature Holiday Island's number-one harpsichord player...acoustic and electric.
