Philosophy RE-affirmed
Was out making some repairs on my roof yesterday in my PK MarPat. Temps were in the high 80's and high humidity. I was very comfortable once I stripped off my cotton T-Shirt and just let the sweat go. While working, I got drenched with a rain shower and the incredibly light PK abosrbed so much water it became as heavy as my UK Survival was when it was dry. I spread tarps over my project and got tools out of the rain before deciding to go inside and wait out the rain. I put on a pair of baggy basketball shorts to let the PK drip dry in the shower.
A bit later the rain stopped and I climbed back up on the roof still wearing the shorts. Right from the get-go the shorts were clinging due to sweat, slipping down when bending over, binding up everywhere ... It just went on and on. I was miserable dealing with these shorts.
I finally got fed up with being so uncomfortable, I climbed down and retrieved my still wet PK, strapped it on, kicked off the shorts and went back to work. I was much more comfortable in a wet kilt than in baggy shorts. No clinging, no binding and no plumbers crack.
Amen.
Can I get a witness brothers?

Boy, thoughts of having to crouch on a roof in (gag) pants...ouch!!

I got into a spot of bother on Wednesday last - well to be honest I chased after it until I caught it - a group of rude and ignorant boys decided to taunt the poor fat old lady in the funny skirt.
So I upped and chased them, they came back for more, so I chased them again.
I can't acutally catch a teenager any more but I can frighten them.
Then the oldest one, several inches taller than me turns to fight - knocks my hat off, gets his ears pulled, tries a punch, misses, and then tries to kick me - unfortunately whilst wearing a pair of droopy crotch trousers.
No contest - quite easy to block -well, actually my left hand ring finger is a bit bruised - but I really thought I was going to get hurt when he decided to stand his ground. Instead I could decide not to kick him back - he was a totally open target. That was the first time I ever really obeyed the karate rules - the bit about not taking advantage of superior ability.
In the end he suddenly remembered he had a knife in his pocket. He should never try to play poker. He returned to verbal abuse whilst he tried to pull it out the right way round, so I backed off and walked away.
I did wait in a shop door way which had a good heavy but not fixed down notice board - if he'd come after me I'd have hit him with it - but he obviously decided that he didn't have long enough horns to be safe near me.
I can truly say that on a sweltering hot day it is quite easy to run, dodge and block in a killt - and really difficult to kick in a pair of low crotch man made fibre trousers.

Pleater, stop! You're killing me! ROTFL Now, if we can reenact this scene and get a video made, we could put you up against Hamish's video. Maybe we could get arrogcow to organize an amateur video contest similar to his 48-hour film contest.
