Out and about in Loganville GA

**emeraldfalconoflight** · 29th July 05, 06:31 AM

Yesterday risking the shotguns and whatnot I went for a stroll into the local Walmart to test the waters. Since I was there I went into the movie section to browse the titles, low and behold one of the attendants/associates comes over and after the salutations he says, "we have Braveheart you know..." I laughed heartily and simply stated that I already have it. He grinned and walked off after a little instruction on how to get his attention if I needed it. Walking around the store a little more I noticed a hell of a lot of double takes. The girls smiled and the guys were more or less unphased. Im a stocky guy so I appologise for maybe turning some people off.

Before I went back home I stoped at one of my favorite food places. And while I was waiting for my order I started conversation with a man there who was waiting for his food. I casualy brought attention to the kilt by stating how wonderful it is to wear an Amerikilt on a day such as today, the heat index was 105ish, and he asked if it was wool. I laughed and said noway wool is far too hot for THIS climate. He went on to say that he had a wool kilt at home, being of Irish heritage, and he wondered where I had gotten mine. Needless to say I gave him the urls of Utilikilts and Amerikilts and we parted, he seemed very very interested in getting a cotton kilt so I thought I would just tell yall, even in the SOUTH with the shotguns all around it is safe to wear a manskirt ;-)

Glad to hear it went well! I live here in Gettysburg now, but I grew up in an area of PA that is lovingly referred to as "Pennsyltucky," (NO OFFENSE TO KENTUCKIANS!!) which is about as backwoods and old-fashioned as PA gets. I had only the best reception to my kilt-wearing there, however.
