What do you think of these?

...screamingly painful monster that it is at the moment.

sounds like P1M realised that he ran out of single malt!

This is totally off-topic but it's a fun digression. I don't manage pain medications well. They just don't do anything for me. For some reason they don't actually manage to suppress the pain as well as they should and they don't last very long. The doc prescribed large dose morphine and oxycontin for me once and they did absolutely nothing for me. So I just gave up on narcotic pain relievers.

Well, at my recent orthopedist visit he asked me if I was trying any over-the-counter pain relievers to help out. I answered yes. He asked if it was working and my reply was that it seemed to help. This got his attention and he asked what I was taking, how much, and how often.

I told him, that I was using 12 year old scotch, taken as 2 fingers of scotch in a standard tumbler, as needed for pain! He didn't think it was funny at all. But he did suggest that my prodigious alcohol consumption and tolerance might have something to do with my ability to metabolize narcotics as fast as lighthing. When he was doing the last operation on my leg I even woke up during surgery! Ahh, I love my liver.

sounds like a well developed pain relief plan you have there. Show a perfect reason why scotch was invented far before most modern medicines!

Way2,
I assumed there'd be all sorts of views. I just wanted to find out if there were others out there doing the same thing, or was everyone going to tell me it looked stupid, in which case I might reconsider.

I actually prefer the kilt a little more dressed up, but I also am looking to find a more casual sport-like niche I can dress in that observes the general guidelines of kiltwearing, but is still an expression of my individual character.

Thanks for the encouragement.

BK,

You may want to try the kilt hose with the athletic shoes. It'll look a little more dressed up, but still casual enough for running errands... Otherwise, try some Doc Martens boots with rolled down kilt hose...

yeah, i've done the kilt hose with the tennis shoes. I was just trying something new.

as far as Docs go. . .I just can't do it. I know lots of you guys love them with the kilt, but I have never personally like Docs, even back when I was in HS and they were super cool and I cared about being cool. I just prefer low cut shoes. The real dillema is that I am currently in need of a new pair of casual shoes. I figure when I get those then that's what I'll wear when I wear my kilt and problem will be solved.
