Hard not to laugh

[Anthony]

Sometimes it's hard not to laugh.

I was in the super market when I hear a childs voice ask "Daddy why is that man in a skirt" as I'm turning around this guy says "hey nice skir..." and cuts it short as we make eye contact then finish's his statement "Kilt".

The expression on this gentlemen's face was just short of fear, maybe it was the cross look I felt come across my own face as he started to say skirt. I did find it funny that he changed what he was saying mid-word.

He and the two ladies who complimented my Pittsburgh Kilt today are the only people who have had anything to say about my kilts in well over a week.

I rarely get any comments anymore. I guess everyone is pretty used to me now.

Other then at work, very few people say much at all.

I believe this is due largely to my living in Los Angeles, and partly due to my deportment, carriage and bearing.

Well, you do look like you could rip a guy's arm off at the shoulder and beat him about the head and neck with it.

I'm not a big guy, but I guess I have a look that tells people it's dangerous to mess with me. I'm really not sure why though, I'm really not a badass type. Maybe it's the general lack of a smile.

Hehe, I tell ya I got almost the same thing tonight at the movie theater. I cut a guy off just as I turned around to look him eye to eye. was great my wife just chuckled as we walked past.

Something about that eyeball to eyeball contact that makes people stop and think. Haven't had it in awhile, people are are use to it by now.

What I find amusing is how they want to laugh -- get cut off like that, then we have a field day of laughter as we move on.

bubba, I'm no giant either, though I'm over 6' I only weigh in at about 180-190. I think it's the broken, beat up knuckles and the "thousand yard stare".

On a brighter note, I spent the afternoon at the Salt Water Pow Wow, a gathering of the southeastern tribes. I did have one older lady call my kilt a skirt and was kinda surpirsed when one of the indians jumped her saying "ma'am, it rude to insult a man's choice of dress. This gentleman is showing his pride in a heritage as old as ours." :o Turns out he has MacTavish in his background and that the MacQueens and MacTavish are distantly related. I did get a lot of compliments from the indians (no, they don't call themselves native americans) on my kilt. This from people in full outfit, even had one ask me to pose for a pic.

That happened to me in the Mountains in NC up on the Parkway last Sept. My wife and I were walking along this overlook when a SUV pulled up and a girl inside asked if she could take a picture of me in my Kilt. That was a nice surprise..
