What's the best reaction you've gotten to your wearing a kilt?

Even Duct Tape can't fix stupid.

Actually depends on whether or not you tape the nostrils as well as the mouth! ;-)

Joe,

Repeat after me:

Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those I had to kill because they pissed me off.

Seems an appropriate time to revisit the Darwin Awards!

Also to quote someone's (I cannot find whose) signature block: "Only two things are infinite: the Universe and human stupidity. And I'm not too sure about the Universe..." ~Albert Einstein

The Highland Festival and Games this past weekend in metro Chicago, Friday and Saturday, too many smiles, winks and brief comments to count, even in the hotel...

...but then there were likely 4000+ men and a surprising number of ladies in kilts.

Thank you to Father Bill, Mike in Dayton, Brother Falldown, CDNSushi, Dennis, and Macca for your words of encourgement and comfort. Loved the Heinlein qoute and the revisting of Lord, grant me the serenity prayer, also the Darwin Awards and Albert Einstein.
The duct tape comments are great too. If she had said anything to me I may have pointed out that it wasn't long ago she couldn't have worn those shorts in public. Why is it that it doesn't matter what a woman wears she's ok. Boxers, Pajamma bottoms, shorts, modified suit(pants suit), but I wear a kilt with a long history and I'm a pervert? O.K. I'll stop now.

**Father Bill** · 22nd June 12, 06:03 AM

Pervert? Prevert? Postvert? Considering the history, perhaps the latter.

I have 2 - the first was a Highland Games. I brought my lads, kilted of course! An older lady with a thick Scottish accent came by and commented on the Greyhounds we had with us, dabbing her eyes a bit at the memories. She saw my boys and said how nice it was to see the younger generation learning their heritage by wearing the kilt.

The second was at another Games. I stopped at Starbucks, as I had become very sleepy while driving early in the day. I was in my X-Marks hostess skirt, sash, and brooch. The buzz of conversation stopped abruptly as I entered the store, and everyone was dead silent as I ordered, paid, waited for my drink, and then left....

Usually I am solo Kilted, but last night my buddy Nigel wore his new Weathered Hunting Stewart (by Kathy Lare) out when we went to a local restaurant. On the way out a lady who was sitting with her beau said, "you guys look sexy"!
Her date did not seem pleased with her.

Four of us kilted went into a Karaoke bar in Columbus, OH a couple years ago. A lady told me that "we were provocatively dressed". If I recall she was with someone who just ignored the conversation.
