Non-Kilted activities?

I really think you're safe on the Toronto tower glass floor...it's quite a ways up there. It's too high for me to walk on kilted or not.

Motorcycling (on or off road) is the only thing I don't think I would try. Though I would like to try hoseback riding when I retire and get my farm.

Glad to have the subject of the glass floor at the CN Tower come back up...it's one of my favorite things from Toronto. Kids just run out on it no problem...they actually get out there and jump up and down...totally fearless. Grownups, kilted or not, seem to have beaucoup trepidations about venturing out there...high "pucker factor"...I managed to inch my way out onto it and obviously McMurdo had the fortitude to get out there. It's fun.

I was thinking the bungee jumping thing, though. You might be fine on the way down (assuming that you jump head first) but when you hit the end of the line you'd invert like a cheap umbrella in a stiff wind and, undoubtedly, become an overnight sensation on Youtube.

Lying flat on my back on the crawler to change the oil on the cars.

I've got a 'scruff' kilt for normal under-bonnet checks, though.

best regards

Whilst I'm not full-time kilted (YET!), I have yet to wear my kilt for sleeping. My dear Stringy tells me that its uncomfortable to sleep unbifurcated. Anyone sleep in kilts?

Nope - Same rules as at a nudist camp! Well, unless you count the cat-naps in the barco-lounger/lazy-boy.

I always heard that rule to be "nude when practical, clothed when necessary." And I won't go into more detail because that would be TMI.

To the original question, I don't have enough kilts to go full-time kilted. Should I get there in life, would probably still wear cycling shorts when riding for performance, as the kilt would add too much aerodynamic drag.

As for standing on ladders, well, there is a Utilikilt Mockumercial that addresses the very topic. If folks can't deal, they don't have to look up.

Me too. I'll never be a competitive cyclist, but cycling shorts are the most comfortable thing to wear in the saddle.

...and not only on bicycles. I wear cycle shorts under my jeans when riding a motorcycle. Haven't suffered a case of monkey-butt since I bought my first pair.

After I started wearing kilts, I bought a couple of nightshirts. Was surprised how readily available they are. My first was a flannel from JC Penny's (on sale now for $12.99) I find them to be generally comfortable, but they do tend to bunch up when I sleeping.
