Air Guitar:
Pros: Classic
Semblence of rock star cool
phallic nature of instrument focuses audience to task at hand
wide variety (from using your air guitar to start air riot/smash up air equipment to gentle love song) allows you to communicate your interests
cons: very self-centered, focus on strings takes away eye contact with others
you look like a wanker
air Harmonica:
pros: Hilarious
only needs one hand
you can maintain eye contact wiht everyone
Cons: Will turn off that emo/goth chick you're trying to bang
air saxophone:
pros; Hip movements= sensuous
you're a jive cat
Hands in sync with body movement- compelling mystery presented
cons; you may be 60 years old
air drums;
demonstrate your super speed, super control, super endurance
Can mix into other dance moves the easiest
concs: You're a daterapist.

How is driving away the spooky or emotionally needy chicks a bad thing, exactly?

Spooky chicks are wild tigers, duh

ignoring the fact that goth doesn't equate to emotionally needy or bad at all and even the gothiest of gothy goths can be well adjusted and happy with life and friends.

Insensitive jerk.

Air trumpet:
Pros:
- allows you to flip people off in a humorous way
- instantly recognizable even to people unfamiliar with most instruments
- you can easily get into it without losing your "hold"

Cons:
- using it to flip people off is rather immature
- most of the time it is used to flip people off

That isn't a discussion that ever has to happen because you have the whole thing anytime you say..that word..

Is it just me, or do bagpipes consist entirely of one song?

Two, at most.

You know what's classy? Air Violin. Air Piano on the other hand, looks weird.

...So does Air Cowbell...

Air Piano and Air Cowbell are both fine... I dunno what YOU'RE talking about.

And Air Fiddle is awesome.

Yeah but you always look like a sarcastic insensitive douche when playing it

Two, at most.

Loch Lomond/Farewell to the Creeks. (At about the 2:25 mark it starts) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KOPvSUlNjI&feature=related)
Lucy Cassidy. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c393PJ3dxUA&feature=related)
Jig of Slurs/Atholl Highlander. (After 1:45, starting Atholl Highlander, though Jig of Slurs is a very nice and energetic song, so I urge you to listen to it completely) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBdM1VAN2RA&feature=related)
Sally Gardens/The Congress Reels. (At the 2:00 mark.) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NV1eiUhfHRE&feature=related)
Johnny Cope/The Geese in the Bog/Turf Lodge (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uUUiQlM9U8&feature=related) (Although I admit this sounds a bit similar to an earlier one.)

So, yes. Claim refuted and made invalid. =3

EDIT: Glen Coe / The Pumpin's Fancy / Crossing The Minch (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDav0yV-k_Y&feature=related) You'll notice the violin almost outperforming the pipes. That's the reason the artist (Dieb) calls it "the Cannon".

That's no fair. That's not, like, Generic Bagpipe Musiks(TM).

Edit: Though, the bagpipes do sound suspiciously like Normal Bagpipes, just at different tempos, rhythms, and melodies.

Oh, I'm sorry.
Yeah, in that case you've only got "Scotland the Brave".

My bad.

Airsynthesiser:
Pros: It's every instrument (except the basoon)
You get to flick lots of toggles and push buttons, allowing much needed variety
Cons: People may think you're playing a piano.

I think that was a joke, and my examples at his earlier post was me playing the straight-man. Because I really love the band Rapalje, and I won't miss any opportunity to promote them.

In the case he was serious, I'll happily join you in ellipsing at him.

Yeah, that was the joke. Not quite sure how it could be construed that I was serious, when I practically listed everything that could possibly be different about two pieces of bagpipe music. :P

Although air drums would be my favorite, right next to air theremin. o_O

No, when you have a real one, that goes out the window, since you have the actual shine of the brass to do some dazzling.

It's nothing against you-I just have a natural reflex to assume everybody but me is an idiot.

It's a survival mechanism.
