Now that the referendum results are in, there seems no better time to appreciate Scottish bagpipes. Based out of Portland, Oregon, the Unipiper is known for not only bagpiping, but for doing so on a unicycle in costume. Plus, the bagpipes are a flaming variety.
In his latest stunt, the artist otherwise known as Brian Kidd can be seen cycling down a freeway playing the Scottish bagpipes and dressed head to toe like Jack Sparrow. Johnny Depp famously played the swaggering pirate in Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. In a reference to Sparrow, Kidd implies all the rum had gone into the bagpipes and that's why they were on fire. This is all the more appropriate considering today is Talk Like a Pirate Day.
