Was finally asked the question....

[Dan R Porter]

I had an old lady stop me today..."I saw you earlier and wanted to ask you..." I thought here it comes, so I prepared my response in her head.... and she asked"Do you have anything in your flask?" hah guess the old lady wanted a bite of some Jameson..

That's a good one

It also doesn't hurt that Nighthawk's a big boy who looks like he can take care of himself and then some. I'm only 5-8; I'd have a tougher time getting away with just a dirty look from the boyfriend.

Then again, I've said some things kilted to drunks that there's no way I would've said them in pantalones. Maybe, if the guy's tone just cried out "I'm a jerk," I would say the same thing.

Yesterday, I got asked the... You play the pipes? I told him nnnooooooo and why would you ask me that? As I crossed my arms. The ladies in the store giggled and theguy just left.... Speachless... It was funny ... And on my first day out in a kilt, my saffron.

Wore my Lindsay to our sister church across town; my sister in law became a member there (but i digress), had several ladies comment on the kilt favorably, one older lady asked if I was going to play the pipes; seem disappointed when I told her I didn't play them in public. I thought I was going to get away without the "question" till we stopped at wal-mart, just after we walked in a group of younger "goths" walked by, stopped as though they had just seen a ghost and were about to go on when one screwed up his courage and said " Kick a@@ kilt dude, you know where I can get a X-kilt? I told him I assumed from any one of the X-kilt makers ala AmeriKilt et al, told him to Google it, and to look up this forum. Seemed like a nice exchange then he said "it it true?' I asked him what he meant, to which he said "you know the commando thing?" "what do you mean?" "My friends say if you wear a kilt you have to go commando" " the term is Regimental, and no you can wear anything you please" "You can?" "Yup, it's your life" "Cool dude, really cool".

The really amazing thing about this was the fact here is a kid dressed in black, with a weird (to me) bangy hair cut, make up and black polished finger nails who was going to going to forgo wearing a kilt, because his friends said he would have to go "regimental"! We try so hard to fit in, regardless how "different" we think we are.

That's funny, Goth kids with with limits on what they will/will not wear.

... So I oped for something under it. Probably going to get in trouble with the rabble on here for that, ...

What you wear under is none of our business....
I used to only wear something when I played rugby (those shorts are short...)
Now, I have bamboo boxers that I wear under new kilts that I get second-handed... (until I can get them washed) or when I know that I will probably roll around on the ground playing with the kids.

Regimental is an army tradition.
And in the olden times when the kilt was worn (in whatever format) underwear as we know it today didn't even exist.

So feel free to wear (or not) whatever you want...
