    church outing

    I ended up at my conservative church's october fest tonight in my kilt and everyone loved it. The women asked me were to get a kilt, one wanted one for her sons and the others just wanted to know why I had a kilt on. I said "for the fun". The guy's, well they just looked. There's just no way (as you know) how to tell someone what it's like to be kilted. I know that my wife was proud of me. The Pastor of my Church commented on the kilt too.
    At church or the hardware store it just fun.

    Have you just figured this out??

    BTW... I always thought that the October Fest thing was a German tradition of "eating and drinking to excess" event! So what sort of conservative church is this?? :smile:
