Absurd kilt myths

[haxtonhouse]

This is kind of a relief actually. Up until Matt's story here, I thought that teachers teaching stuff they obviously know absolutely nothing about , is something that has to be dealt with primarily in American classrooms. Its good to see we aren't the only ones

No offense to any teachers in here, I'm just a product of American public education system, that acknowledge the fact that I didn't have one teacher that had enough sense to pour piss out of a boot

But to be fair here, I'm sure they're are some really good teachers out there too.

I am an American disabled veteran and a fifth grade public education teacher. I pride myself on being a great teacher. I know there are some bad ones out there, and I am sorry that you did not get properly educated. Blanket statements like that are pretty harsh- there are a lot more good teachers out there, who pour their hearts and souls into teaching, than the bad ones.

if your tartan had red in it, that meant you had bastards in your family.

So what about those families who have multiple versions of their tartan, some with red, some without?

'And what happens if I wear a kilt that is not one of my clan tartans, exactly?'

'Well, if ye get caught by someone official like a polisman or somebody frae Lord Lyon's court then ye get fined 100 quid! Ye need tae be careful, pal. Ye must only have moved to Scotland when you were wee or ye'd know that.'

So..... there really are kilt police??

YIKES!! The kilt police! You better be good and don't let your flashes be crooked or anything awful like that...the kilt police will GET YOU!
Sounds like a tail parents tell their children!
AND...I think these kilt police need their own theme song, and maybe a logo patch, too!

i think the part about red meaning having bastards in your family could be true, atleast for morrison.

I understand the drunks. Lord knows I solved all the problems of the World and knew everything even though I barely had enough money for another round...

But a sober lady pontificating such bull to school children....

Everyone knows the red in my clan tartans is because we're adulterous.

I think we went to the same school ...

But a sober lady pontificating such bull to school children....

You should know better than to tempt me!

Can you tell me why the pleats are swinging?
Kilts have been around for hundreds of years
I've been on X Marks since Wednesday morning
Wednesday morning can't believe my ears!

Kilt police are looking through my closet
Kilt police are ironing out any crease
Rocky at USA Kilts has my deposit
X Marker, show your kilt, it's Kilt police!

Panache taken silly by the many
Panache taken serious by a few
Kilt police are sponsored by Matt Newsome
Matt knows what kilt hose are best for you!

Kilt police- I’ll heed your calling
Kilt police- to tartan I’ll be true
Kilt police- my heritage I’ll be recalling
Recalling for you

Loyal as any freedom loving Scot
I heed the words of the clan chief
Tell me of green hills never to be forgot
Am I in trouble with the Kilt police?

Kilt police are looking through my closet
Kilt police are ironing out any crease
Steve at Freedom Kilts has my deposit
X Marker, show your kilt, it's Kilt police!

They will never understand our Forum
They'll never understand the Kilt police
Kilt police are looking for a quorum
Tartan wool is bolder fabric than fleece

Let me dress in noble Highland Attire
Let me be dress like Hamish across the sea
On the flag pole raise high the Saltire
Let me go on a kilted shopping spree

Kilt police- I’ll heed your calling
Kilt police- to tartan I’ll be true
Kilt police- my heritage I’ll be recalling
Recalling for you


With apologies to Leonard Cohen's "Jazz Police"
