Kilts in the Olympic Opening Ceremony

[BruceBC]

I used kilt like in the most general sense. But some of the women were wearing kilts as were a few of the male dancers who did not make it on tv.

Kilts or no, it was cool! And it led to a good evening:

I watched the opening ceremonies with some friends. At one point, prior to the arrival of the tartan, I wandered off during a bit of interpretive dance...to...practice my bagpipes. Really.

I came back upstairs to comments like "that was really cool!", and then the tartan showed up in the opening ceremonies...somebody asked "why is that guy sort of wearing a kilt?" and another comment about how they were stealing Samoan art that had nothing to do with Canada . It was a good evening, I got to explain the images ( as well as the tartan )...and found out a bunch of the guys and girls had various Scottish connections.

End result was, I'm supposed to wear my kilt next time.
