    But Lebowski!!!!
    I take no credit for the Lebowski label!. While I may be one of the original members in terms of what I wear, where my priorities are, and the thoroughness, or lack thereof, of my personal grooming habits, the actual name and reference was coined by GGGP.... bless her heart. There are Lebowski's scattered through X Marks... and I think the forum is a much better place now that us Lebowki's realize that we have a voice and a viable role here, just as much as the Tweedy Gentlemen. Since that has happened, I've pretty much shut up about the whole thing....which I'm sure makes everybody much happier! ----including ME----

    OK...now BACK TO PIXAR!

    I think I need a new Great kilt. Mine has historically inaccurate electric blue stripes.

    Actually, I just learned that dyers all over Europe and Scotland, too, used woad to dye clothes a bright blue color, for thousands of years. So my bright blue stripes aren't particularly bogus, after all.

    How cool!

    Wear the boots you wore to the Queen Mary games. Those were rugged and stylish.

    And, like, they'll totaly match the caber!
    *hair flip*

    Is Bethany going? Make sure she goes, since BRAVE is about a strong woman. And Bethany exemplifies that spriit to a T. And she'll whomp the heck outta those weights!

This is in about 4 weeks, a week before the public opening.

    And no, I'm not kidding. Honest. Cross my garters.

    So.

    Great kilt and woad? Perfectly tailored Capercaillie, modern, navy blue Braemar and Waistcoat, with hand-knitted hose and gillies....and regimental tie?

    Bare-chested and feiliegh-beig belted, with cadadh stained with grass and mud and no shoes?
    I am completely jealous... working at PIXAR Animation is my ultimate dream job and that is the reason why!

    Now that I think about it, it's not clear to me that this is the same event that Alan H is going to. Alan - is it the Pixar wrap party that you're going to (you lucky dog)?
    the jealousy has now doubled

    That's the date that the person at Pixar needs the kilt for, so keep an eye out for her!

    All kidding aside, my vote is for you to go stubbly, stinky and savage. Without being a caricature.
