Happy St. Patty's Day Everyone!

Happy St. Patrick's Day All!

I took my son to kindergarten today in my Black Watch Kilt (and Fly Plaid). His teacher asked if I would stay for the start of class and talk about the way I was dressed. I talked about how the Scots, Irish, and Welsh all shared the tradition of wearing kilts and how they were absolutely masculine garb. I talked about the original great kilts, the story of the origin of the kilt pin, flashes, hose, and the sgian dubh. The boys in the class were disappointed I was carrying my "Sgian Don't" (A comb with a knife-like wooden handle I made) instead of a real blade. But the kids seemed interested. I got a lot of smiles and questions as I went out and about town today doing errands with my daughter.

I raise my glass to all you fine folk and wish you a hardy "Cheers"!

I really like that one. Took me a while to read what you posted.

Wha.., there was more? I think all I got was something about a farmgirl. I'll have to go back and look again!

I had to celebrate all the parts of my British heritage by wearing a green kilt, a blue and white shirt, and drinking Bass ale... all while listening to an Irish pipe band play Scotland the Brave. Yah.

Not to mention the fact that I could have sued several women for sexual harassment...

Well done!! That's probably the best "pro-kilt" story I've read on Xmarks! I wonder how many young boys went running home after school asking their parents if they could have a kilt.

And to everyone else, a belated Happy St. Patrick's Day!! Work got in the way of celebrating for me yesterday so I'll have to try to make up for it on Monday. LOL

You all need to type louder today (probably tomorrow too) I was onstage with the Young Dubs in Hollyweird last night in a proper black shirt with dark blue 'neath that.
I don't think the House of (anything but) Blues ever had air conditioning ...


CT - hey, that was fun. Let's do it again ...

Hey CT, I thought you were a Heavy Equipment Operator, but you've made several references to musical performances; what kind of equipment do you operate, Heavy Metal Guitar?
