Now that I think about it, it's not clear to me that this is the same event that Alan H is going to. Alan - is it the Pixar wrap party that you're going to (you lucky dog)?

I don't actually know!

At the Ardenwood Tartan Day Games, the guy who's in charge of the local Shinty league walked up to me and said that the Pixar publicity people at the Games wanted to know if there could be some shinty players at this big bash, and also if we could get some Highland Athletes and some gear. However, the hours for the event are late-late afternoon through the evening, so I don't think they actually want us to throw, though I don't know that for sure. All I know is that the event is in Calistoga on June 9th.

That's the date that the person at Pixar needs the kilt for, so keep an eye out for her!

Toms Place was, quite a few years ago, a web forum that started out being about kilts. However, it was slowly overtaken by a community of people who liked to cross-dress. Basically, guys who like to wear skirts. The conversation got away from kilts and onto skirts, delicate underwear, perfume and other not-very-masculine topics.

I added the "Gentlemen" and "Tweed" during a very large ruckus that I created, some months ago about a drift in focus that I felt I was observing, generally, at X Marks. It just so-happened to co-occur with a rash of threads involved with "how to define a gentleman" and so on.

I'd like to be clear that *I* felt that I saw this drift. Others may not agree. I was concerned that the more disreputable among us....like me, who never dress in tweed, don't wear cologne but rather smell of sweat and grass stains (or whatever) and spend more time doing dirty and roughshod activities, and have value systems aligned more in that direction, might lose their voice and place here at X Marks. Thus, the ruckus.

In a nutshell, that's where GTT came from.

And now, back to what I should wear to PIXAR, supplied with a large dose of tongue-in-cheek.

Actually Alan - thanks! I had a clear sense that I didn't have a clear sense about what was happening then. I would have been more clearly on your side on that one had I understood the context.

But Lebowski!!!!

I take no credit for the Lebowski label!. While I may be one of the original members in terms of what I wear, where my priorities are, and the thoroughness, or lack thereof, of my personal grooming habits, the actual name and reference was coined by GGGP.... bless her heart. There are Lebowski's scattered through X Marks... and I think the forum is a much better place now that us Lebowki's realize that we have a voice and a viable role here, just as much as the Tweedy Gentlemen. Since that has happened, I've pretty much shut up about the whole thing....which I'm sure makes everybody much happier! ----including ME----

OK...now BACK TO PIXAR!

I think I need a new Great kilt. Mine has historically inaccurate electric blue stripes.

**Father Bill** · 9th May 12, 02:47 PM

Go for it Alan!

**Alan H** · 9th May 12, 04:04 PM

Actually, I just learned that dyers all over Europe and Scotland, too, used woad to dye clothes a bright blue color, for thousands of years. So my bright blue stripes aren't particularly bogus, after all.

How cool!

Wear the boots you wore to the Queen Mary games. Those were rugged and stylish.
*puts on SoCal accent*
And, like, they'll totaly match the caber!
*hair flip*

Is Bethany going? Make sure she goes, since BRAVE is about a strong woman. And Bethany exemplifies that spriit to a T. And she'll whomp the heck outta those weights!
