    Turn of phrase longshadows, no biggie. Hey Ron, I hope they sponsered YOU for your Launchathon. That's gotta be worth $10.

    My Pittsburgh Kilt and Bear Kilt with traditionally wide aprons would probably have flashed the family jewels under those conditions.

    The narrow apron of the Utilikilts falls neatly between the legs and keeps private matters private.

    The things that you can learn online! From http://www.randomhouse.com/wotd/inde...?date=19960517 :

    ....first found in a 1946 book about fighter pilots in WWII, in a euphemized form: "He displayed a rump-over-tea-kettle aggressiveness in seeking dog-fights."

    It's a variation of a saying that goes back to the late 19th century.

    That's what I love about this place - there's no end to what a feller can learn around here.

    Yes, hanging around here, you never know what will come up next! Thanks for clarifying this expression for me.

    Great place!

    wedding pics

    When my friend and mechanic married his future ex-wife (God willing) I didn't intend to wear that darned tux for longer than I had to. This was in the years BK (Before Kilted) and I had my comfy jeans and boots in the car and wore my white boot socks with the dress shoes.
    The photgrapher asked if we all had black socks on, I said hell no and hoisted the slacks.
    I'm not intending to invite either to my wedding as formal kilts will be required for my side of the wedding party, **** over teakettle athletics hopefully not included.
