Kilt Police

Sorry again. Just re-read the regs. It's kilt inspectors who don't have balls. Kilt police are allowed to dance. (see regs for full details)

Oh! That's what they are! Of course, it's so obvious to me now!

But seriously, if anyone has any connections to getting stuff like this made up...

Maybe we could have two designs, one for those who live under a Constitutional Monarchy, and one for those in a Republic?

The Polis tend to do their work openly the nasty beggers are the Scottish Dress Standard Enforcement Agency (SDSEA)

These people don't wear badges and they don't usually carry ID. They tend to have a very narrow view of the 'kilt regulations' and can usually be identified when they bounce up and point out to you that only pipers should wear hair sporrans or that laces on the ghillie brogues should be done up at the front or my personal favourite, that flashes must be worn on the side of legs and so on...

In the latter case I normally say something along the lines of:

"Damn, the Regiment must have got it wrong, I'll call the Colonel and tell him that we should change our dress because its wrong and we all look silly."

Although I must admit if I saw someone who looked like he was breaking the conventions from ignorance I might try and discreetly steer him in the right direction.

I don't mean in this piece of artwork but if it was made into a badge, It would also be illegal in the UK to use the word POLICE without an Act of Parliament.

OK I am being a spotter I'll get my coat...

The Kilt Police do have a theme song (previously posted)

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"

Cheers

Jamie

Here's where I got my FD badge and had a beaver perched atop. Not worth the $60 I paid, didn't get off of the two speeding tickets I got on fire dept. business but it save the cover charge for myself and 8 others at the local ripper joint.

For the sake of historical completeness, the first generation (virtual) Kilt Police badge was in introduced in April 2007

Followed by the far superior McMurdo models introduced in June of that year.

I think George's design would look great on the back of our raid jackets.

Best regards,

Jake
