Kilt Regrets?

[ForresterModern]

I explained that it was cold outside, and it's not alw...well, I think I've shared enough for one day.

Seinfeld coined the term "shrinkage" to describe this situation, not to be confused with that shrinkage of Norcalpiper's kilt after the chicken marsala escapade.

In my case nothing was permanent.

I certainly hope you escaped without harm!

I had bits of melted plastic burned onto my leg, but really, it was about like spilling melted candle wax onto yourself, so not too bad. Could have been worse. I stripped the thing off, and answered "the question" for all to see, so most of the damage was done to my dignity!

Wearing a sportkilt in -2 degree weather. It was my first time piping with my band. I didn't have a kilt and was told to grab a SK until I could afford a nice heavy wool one. I was so cold I had to literally stand in front of the hand dryer in the retirement home with the front of my kilt up over the dryer. It felt burning hot when I urinated. I swear my bits are still angry at me for that one. not to mention the old guy who walked in on me warming um myself.

That sucks!!

Larry – I don’t know sure if this is more of an embarrassment or more of a compliment for you!

That definitely ended up as a compliment!

I was playing a funeral once upon a time and noticed that the music had stopped. I looked at the 'pipes and noticed that I had blown the chanter out of the bag. The hemp had dried out and shrunk and I didn't have enough Teflon tape over. I socked the chanter back in, blew the bag back up, and struck in again.

[QUOTE=piperdbh;956775]I looked at the 'pipes and noticed that I had blown the chanter out of the bag./QUOTE] that stinks. Especially being that it was a funeral. Good thing you didn't damage the reed.

I did take it as a compliment.

You know, when I start feeling like a cockroach around here, I think of Nighthawk leaping around the fire trying to put the flames on his kilt out... It makes me feel better.

Ok, thanks for the replies.

I guess my most embarrassing time was at a renfair when the friend I was with decided to sit on the ground, but I didn't want to sit on my acrylic kilt; the twigs and dead grass would have ruined it. I did find a way to sit on my heels with my kilt tucked and wrapped, though; thankfully it wasn't for too long.

Riverkilt, you never know what might happen in Albuquerque...

Last year I went to a Burns Night at a pub and was the only one there wearing a PC who was not a piper. It did get my picture taken with a couple of hotties though, so it wasn't all bad.
