    If Your Kilt Could Talk

    What would it say about you? It's previous owners, if it had any, like old WWII surplus kilts...? What do you think it would say about it's creator? If it is a traditional kilt, what do you think it would say about the new casual kilts? If it was a casual kilt, what do you think it would say about those old traditionals? What would it say about the life you live? What would it say about what you do? What would it say about it's own demands for acceptance, if it had any? What would it say about the places you wear it?

    I thought about this for no reason at all today while on the bus. I know that it is crazy to anthropomorphise a kilt... But I am betting that most kilts have a story to tell, if they only could.

    I was unsure where to post this because it covers so many areas. It's off topic, but it's also about kilts. So it's for wiser heads than mine to move it if it needs be.

    Graham, I think yours would be proud of you. I think they would like you. Especially the ones you took on your whirlwind world tour.

    And I bet they would have some stories to tell. :grin:
