little girls comment today

[kilted in KC]

i was at wal mart with mom and gmaw and i was heading to the can aka bathroom and literaly as i got my hand on the door to push it open some little girl pops up behind me from out of know where and asks why i have on a $k!r! so with out even turning around i say it is a traditional irish kilt and that it was my native wear and went in to the bathroom chuckling

mom and gmaw where going to the womens can and mom said that the little girl almost followed me in to the mens can mom told the little maybe 8-12 year old girl that the womens can was over here by them

part of why i was laughing is that the girl almost followed me in to the mens can and the fact that i had on me black workmans utilikilt wich although solid colored it is not exactly a traditionsal irish kilt especualy with me chain and the length of it and the side pockets 8)

i do aplaud the girl on asking about me kilt her words was $k!r! but i aplaud her because i look kind of scary to most children and adults/yuppies and most of them try to get out of me way

they say that the quickest way from one point to the other is a straight line well i can walk a straight line through almost any place i go it is hilarious

it would have been interesting to hear the conversation between the girl and her parents.

thanks

Why lie to the girl? Why don't You say "I like to wear a Utilikilt".

What do You want this girl to tell her parents? I assume the conversation will start this way: "I have seen a freak in a skirt today ..."

i did not figure the kid or her parents where ever they where, would know what a utilikilt was and that her parents would half way be able to explain a kilt to her as opposed to a utilikilt wich i doubt they have heard of or would take the time to google it

i hope the girl tells her parents that i have seen a freak in a irish kilt today instead of a $k!rt but i dont realy care what she told her parents 8)

what ever happened to people telling there kids not to talk to strangers in public expecualy when they look like me long haird and piercings and all black clothes

plus i did not want to stand there explaining what a utilikilt is because i realy had to use the can, i almost kept walking in side the can but i figured a minute or so would not hurt.

at least i did not tell her some rude comment like its easier to moon people with a kilt on is the reason i wear one

thanks

...

I assume:
can aka bathroom -> lavatory
gmaw -> Grandma *

Maybe I'm not predestinated to translate cruelly blemished english. But I'm used to deal with cloze because of my lesser english vocabulary.

* Only guessing.

Thanks Wolfgang, what a colourful thing this English language is

Let's not start on British versus American spellings, i.e. colour - color.

Hank doesn't have enough bandwidth for that discussion.

Doc, I have been meaning to ask, for some time, what the imposing letters-after-your-name stand for:-

Doc Hudson, F&AM, CSA, NRA(Life Member), SCV, IOFA

Forgive me if I am being impertinent, but you are obviously proud of them or you'd not display them.

No impertinence preceived on my side. If I objected to explaining the acronyms, I'd not post them. In fact someone else asked for an explanation shortly after I started posting here.

F&AM = Free & Accepted Mason, of which I am a Master Mason

CSA = Confederate Sixguners of America. A loose, informal association of Southerners who call Sixgunner.com' forums their home on the Internet.

NRA (Life Member)= I am a proud Life Member of the National Rifle Association.

SCV = Sons of Confederate Veterans, made up of descendants of Confederate Vetrans, I'd not be surprised to find an SCV chapter near you, there are several in Britain.

IOFA = Intolerant Old Farts of America, though with our international membership, we should probably change the "A" to "Association." A very informal group of opinionated old farts who don't hesitate to to let our opinions be known. Membership is limited to folks over the age of 40. Trainees, those under age 40, are IYFA, i.e. Intolerant Young Farts. (All in fun. No dues, no officers, no meetings.)
