Kilted, Nose to Nose with a Befuddled Drunk

[Bob C]

Gosh. As a huge fan and supporter of Flagstaff's downtown, I'm not only sorry you had to go through that, but I want to say to everyone else out there that mean drunks are not common here. Well, actually they are and I have had similar experiences, but still, it really is a nice downtown.

Mean drunks are everywhere. They need good men like Ron to stand up to them, kilted or not. They're not used to that.

Ron you were blessed.

Thanks Jay,

That sure fits with what happened. My guess is that, drunk as he was, if the two store employees weren't there staring him down too he would have swung on me...he was in that most self-righteous place we drunks get when tanked.

and hey, there you are Ialtog,

Knew there was someone from Flag on the board. I do so love downtown Flagstaff. The ultimate in coolness, fun, and good shopping. We have more than our share of street drunks up here in Page...I make my living working with them. Flag sure has their share too.

A couple years ago, when I was newly kilted and venturing forth on a date kilted for the first time, I met a lady from Prescott in Flag for a conference we were both attending. We went out to dinner at the Beaver Street Brewery. The hostess seated us at one of those tables right next to the window on Beaver Street...with the high stools. So, just after I maneuvered my kilted self up onto the stool and we're reading the menu, and old drunk staggers down the sidewalk. Stops in front of our window, takes his pants and jockey shorts down to his knees, and drains his bladder against the side of the building in front of us - with no clue we can see him.

Fortunately, the conference was on sexuality and my date was a sex therapist, so she took it in stride. It was a tad disconcerting that all through dinner there was this very large puddle on the sidewalk outside the window with a small stream following the contours of the sidewalk down to the gutter.

Flagstaff is a very colorful town for sure! A great COOL place for a kilted rendezvous....hint, hint...

Great story. Maybe the kilt scared him--how many movies are there with kilted men beating the crap out of their eneimies?
