    Thank ye.

    Really, all you have to do is look at it objectively. An aligator is really just a pile of purses, handbags, and shoes. And maybe a couple of sporrans. None of those things are really dangerous.

    I don't rock climb in a kilt.

    As much as I love wearing kilts, I understand that there are some activities that just aren't appropriate for kilts. I have been swimming in a kilt, but if swimming were something I did regularly I would wear swimming trunks. I don't see this as a "betrayal" of the kilt - after all, I've worn kilts exclusively for two years. I don't have to push the envelope to try and wear kilts all the time. You wouldn't expect someone to go swimming in their blue jeans, because that's what swimming trunks are for (though I've been known to skinny-dip). Rock climbing is just not comfortable in a kilt. Swimming is just harder in a kilt, with all that material weighing you down. Riding a motorcycle is dangerous in a kilt. Riding a horse is painful in a kilt.

    Anyway, I don't worry about messing up kilts. I have painted and done construction while wearing a kilt. But some activities are simply not suited for kilts. I don't see this as "letting kilts down" in any way.

    Andrew.

    "I won't wrestle alligators in a kilt."

    Wrestle alligators in Philidelphia? Can you find an alligator in Philidelphia?

    Dread, would have an easier time finding one in SC.

    I grew up in south Louisiana, and I have seen people try to wrestle alligators, but never in a kilt.

    Sure, they're in the sewers, just like in New York. Giant ones, eating rats and pigeons.;)

    I've never seen an Alligator in a kilt.
