highland games

Scottish and Celtic activities usually held in a park or fairgrounds. Competitors come from all over to compete in a variety of competitions, including highland dancing, scottish country dancing, the caber toss, sheepdog trials and other various sports. Guests are entertained by thousands of pipe bands and endless bagpipe music, and can enjoy authentic Scottish food, such as haggis, meatpies, and bangers (British hotdogs).

highland dancing

Probably the most extreme, physically tiring form of dancing in the world. Either competed or performed, highland dancing is both mentally and physically exhausting. Dancers hop on one foot, performing a variety of difficult dance moves, sometimes including leaps in the air, dancing over crossed swords, and other such challenges. Dancers compete the highland dances in kilts and jackets and/or vests, and perform the national dances in the aboyne costume. A white or blue sailor's costume is worn for the Sailor's Hornpipe. More liberties are taken with the outfit for the Scottish Jig.

All the dances are performed wearing the soft shoe ghillie, similar to the ballet slipper.The one exception is the Scottish Jig; it is performed in hard heeled shoes with metal attached the the bottom of the heel that make clacking noises.

The dances include the:
Fling
Sword
Seann Truibhas
Strathspey and Highland Reel
Strathspey and Half Tulloch
Strathspey, Highland Reel and Half Tulloch
Full Tulloch
Tullochan
Barracks Johnny
Laddie
Jig
Hornpipe
Lilt
Flora
Blue Bonnets
Village Maid
Scotch Measure
Earl of Errol
Etc.

Highland Dancing is spectacular to watch.

Highland High School

Highland High School is located in Highland, Indiana. You probably would have never guessed that.. It is also the place where you will find trashy kids. You walk through the halls and all you see is : trailer trash, sluts (most common), bitches, and kids that think they are cool because their parents have money. The other most common student you will find here are the 'wanna be gangsters'. They are the ones you can spot a mile away because they have to waddle like penguins in order to keep their pants at their knees, ( God forbid their pants be at their waists). Highland High School is also full of rude, ignorant, perverted teachers. Most of the teachers can give two shits about the kids. Overall, Highland High is a horrible place and you should never send your kids there if you want them to have a chance to develop into half way decent adults.

Highland High School Girls: "omg i hate drama!" "omg, like me too. " <----- THEY START THE MOST DRAMA.

Highland High School Guys : "lets smoke pot and fuck bitches because we are cool as fuck. " "yeah, and lets call all the girls nasty but fuck all of them anyways" <------ DIRTY ASSES

Highland Park moms

In Highland Park, IL the moms there are all orange, drive big cars paid for by their husbands, always want to be first, are friends with other Highland Park moms and treat each other like they're all back in high school. They're mostly Jewish and are all really rich, but live mostly in McMansions for some fucked up reason. And they name their kids all the same thing, and their idea of "charity" is to pay thousands of dollars to expensive puppy boutiques and get all dressed up for the black tie charity parties. They really have no idea of what else goes on in the world except for whose turn it is to carpool. Oh, and they have the worst plastic surgeons, thinking they need plastic surgery.

Highland Park moms: RUDE.

Highland, Indiana

A town in northwest Indiana or "the region" that is in between Munster, Indiana and Griffith, Indiana. It is about 40 minutes from Chicago. It is a very middle-class town with a couple upper middle-class areas. It has slightly above mediocre schools and slightly above mediocre people. The town used to be Munster's rival in everything, but as Highland's talent went down in just about everything, Munster decided to divert their energy and talent to more worthwhile rivals like Lake Central and Crown Point. Highland is left to rival Hammond and Griffith which is not really saying much of anything. This town is known for being the town that stole all the good stores from Hammond because Hammond started to become ghetto. Every average store (like Target, Kohl's, Border's, Meijer, Best Buy, Dick's, Marshalls, etc.) you can find in Highland. That is pretty much all the town is good for. It is basically the Ford Taurus of suburbs: BORING.

Girl 1: Highland, Indiana is the most boring place ever! Nothing ever happens.

Girl 2: Want to pretend to be rich and go to Munster?

Girl 1: No, I'd rather pretend to be poor and go to Gary.

Girl 2: Awesome! Let me start the Taurus.
