    Wow, Mike. A stained glass kilt?

    You'd have to be pretty careful when sweeping the pleats. That is unless you want to have kilt parts permanently imbedded in your er....parts.

    Cabs in all their various forms are rarely expensive. I get some jewelry supplies from Fire Mountain and they have a decent collection of cabs.

    Thanks for that link. My wife orders a ton of beads from them and I have just found my next 2 or 3 kilt pins from this... I have also found the additions for the sporran cantel I am working on.

    The rubber chicken is now hybernating much like your 'humourous" jabs.

    Mike, you have stones to wear that as a kilt pin. Now there is a taste of humour folks.

    Actualy Mike how big are your stones? Are they big enough to replace the plastic stone of a fairly expensive sgian dubh? That is one reason it took so long for me to find a sgian to my liking. If I'm going to spend $100+ on one, let it be worth that much.

    Aside from that they do look cool. I try to find kilt pins to suit my tartans and/or me. I have had some very good success by buying ladies brooches off of ebay. My latest symbolizes my home province of Ontario.

    Be careful that you don't violate your state's open rubber chicken carry laws.

    Ok... now I'm picturing the judge on that one...

    "Mr Nighthawk, you're charged with carrying a ... wait a minute..."

    *puzzled look*

    "Who the HELL arrests someone for carrying a rubber chicken?"

    Sad part is, I've met officers that WOULD have made such an arrest, because "holsters" are "gun accessories"...

    I think in Michigan you can carry concealed chickens if you take a class and get a permit

    Yeah... but you have to basically register your chickens in Michigan. And that just leads to confiscation.

    They can have my chickens when they pry them from my cold dead hands!





    I can't believe that I just typed that...
