Just got back from Celtic Fest in Chicago this afternoon and had to share this one with the group!

My daughter and I ran into Kilted Code Warrior and his two adorable daughters on the way to the Caber Toss. KCW was pushing the double-stroller and both of the kids in it were asleep...when the first one woke up, she looked around and saw that there were more kilted types around besides her dad...I think that she was kind of amazed.

Anyway...that's not the really good bit. After the Caber Toss had wound down, my daughter, Nadia, and I strolled over to look into getting some food. As we approached the food ticket booth, Nadia nudged me and pointed to a gentleman walking by. He was wearing a kilt that I think was Black Watch and seemed oblivious to the fact that he had neglected to remove the basting stitiches that had been put in for shipping. Got to admit that his pleats were really nicely set...except for the two big lines of thread that went around his **** and thighs.

Dude...I want to say this in the nicest way...read the frickin' instructions...I know that men have a problem with that, but read the instructions...really.

I stopped by my Mom and Dads' apartment later on and told them about this guy and my mom said, "Maybe he intends to return it to the store on Monday."

Other than that...this having been the first time I've worn the kilt in public...all went well.
