Great response

Not to mention it must be hard to walk.

I think of a bulldog walking

When I was younger, we would have said "you have brass conhonees (sp?) for wearing a kilt in public".

Now it's grapefruits

Hey Blazn that was a positive comment I reckon, tho I trust not litterally true! Would've made a tough jog that day. I personally don't mind swearing one bit. I do fall into that catagory of being undrer 35 (only just) but probably because I'm Australian and we, generally speaking, swear like sailors on a saturday night on leave. I often find myself having edit my posts....
Well done doing the run in a kilt. Get any press for it?

The last time I heard that particular vernacular, it was followed with "Whyn't ya jump up and down so's we can hear 'em clang?"

I was kilted in New Orleans last Summer and I took a 2 hour swamp tour. At one point, the tour operator came up to me and said, "Obviously you aren't concerned about getting your a$$ kicked, 'cause you a big boy, but I gotta say, you got some big brass balls wearin' a kilt 'round here!" He went on to say. "I'll bet that's comfortable. I wish I had the courage, I gotta hand it to ya'."

It was one of the most sincere complements I have ever received.

I told him, "You'll see, someday you'll walk into Walmart and see kilts in the men's department." He replied, "Man, I hope so, I can't wait! When I do, I might even get one!" I said, "See now, I don't need to wait until they sell it in Walmart before I'll wear it. Not if it's what I want to do." He nodded and said, "Brass balls, man, big brass balls... you 'da man!"

And the forum staff appreciate it. Immensely.

Particularly in the midst of threads like this one. Guys, we're not in a locker room, OK? Nuff said?

No wonder I can't find my gym shorts!

No wonder I can't find my gym shorts!

gym shorts? I find a kilt is far more condicive to athletic events than shorts, no movement restrictions, or the infamous 'wedgie' from the football/rugby/lacrosse team!

and why does it smell like something died in a fetid pile of #$%@#$% in here?

I was at the Home Depot on Gunn Hill road today, picking up some supplies for an Archemedies Screw and a copper pipe levitation device (science is FUN in a kilted classroom) wearing my Camo UK Original.

I got some stares, some horrified looks, inquiries as to my lineage (yo man, you Scottish or something?), and my favorite: I over hear ".....not a skirt its a KILT" To which this mans girlfriend repiled "Oh, HEY nice ummm KILT?" I said Thank you to both and kept on walking.

It was nice to have somebody else say it for once, ha ha.

Have a nice day Yall.

Reminds me of the joke about the Scotsman at a baseball game. Not knowing much about the game, he would should "Run, ye bastard!" at every batter. After a walk, a fan corrects him: "He doesn't have to run, he's got four balls." To which the Scotsman replies by shouting "Walk with pride, laddie! Walk with pride!"

The last time I heard that particular vernacular, it was followed with "Whyn't ya jump up and down so's we can hear 'em clang?"

I saw a pair of hollow brass balls that clanged on a key chain not too long ago at a particularly risque shop. I was tempted to buy them and pin them to the inside of my kilt apron. That way they could clang while I walked and if people asked, I could tell them that it was my brass balls!
