Grant's alleged kilt lift

[NewGuise]

GDub, as you know, Marilyn stood on that grate, deliberately, with the collusion of others. Intention counts. Still, "the Marilyn" is a skirt lift, and not exactly a skirt check. They knew what was under there.

"The Grant," as it shall henceforth be known, involves no deliberation, no intention, no checking. Is it a "kilt lift"? Well, maybe.

But this is the classic "Marilyn"-equivalent "kilt lift":

And clearly someone knew what was going to happen when walking over this grate, if only because it had already happened to the guy in front. Tha would make it an official kilt lift. It would only count as kilt check if the parade organisers had planned it this way.

Sorry, Grant, a proper "kilt check" is usually performed by a human of the opposite gender.

"Usually," perhaps, but that is surely irrelevant; I have been kilt checked in a gay bar, by a man; that counts ... unlike the wind ....

I would argue that a kilt "lift" (heretofore known as a "Grant") is a lift regardless of whether it was planned or not. A "check" has intentionality and requires someone to do the verifying. In Marilyn's case, she passed the lift with flying colors, but, in kilt vernacular, she failed the check.

I would like to point out that if Grant would like to know when to expect the next kilt lift, the photo referenced here was taken here in Cincinnati in front of my main office building. Give me a call, and we can arrange for as many events as he likes.

Regards,
Rex.

Fellow kilties:

It appears that Rex is willing to host our next convention. Set the time and date and let us parade - and let lift - our varied kilts.

GDub: I maintain that kilt lift requires agency and intention, or at least an audience. If a kilt lifts and no one sees it, it does not count. Especially here. This forum even demands pictures.

Not convinced? The poll currently stands at 3 for and 36 against. I think you'll agree that this is almost dead even and just too close to call.

You've gotta love a guy that is going to go down fighting like that. Even at the current tally I think we must concede that Grant has now experienced a kilt "lift," and must accept him at his word. It has been noted however that this does not constitute a kilt check, an experience that still eludes our friend from the north.

So from this day forth, let the word go out to all who don the kilt; Whatever blows your skirt up is now and forever a "GRANT."

I can think of no greater honor to bestow upon our beloved Keeper of the Rubber Chicken.

a few years back I decided to sneak in a round of golf on a blustery Thanksgiving morning and knocked in a hole-in-one on the 11th hole. Turns out I was alone on the course, only two other brave souls even played that day, I was half a mile from the clubhouse which was manned by one young lad who was watching the t-giving day football games, and the only other potential witness was a farmer tilling under the cornstalks over a quarter mile away. Did I score a hole in one? Yes, it says so on the card. It counts toward my handicap and in every other way but one---it is not officially a documented hole-in-one because it was not witnessed.

So, whether your kilt rose on the breeze or not, unwitnessed event, and you know the first rule of xmarks as well as the next guy, Grant-----NO PICS IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. NO WITNESS IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

You can share with me in the solitary comfort of knowing we each encountered a unique and fulfilling happy event, official or not.

It's just hard to believe that you fellows--and gals!--would deny Grant one little kilt lift. Especially in the Advent season before Christmas.

Have a heart. If Grant wants to claim a kilt lift, who am I to defy Mother Nature's desire to check out his . . . nether regions.

I say it's a kilt lift!

So all I want to know is this. If ti was that windy that Grant's kilt was lifted by mother nature, Did he hear her laughing in the wind?
