Told NO!

I find the argument of whether or not the members here wear the kilt because it garners them attention slightly silly considering all the threads about what good or bad attention their wearing the kilt did or did not get. Wearing a kilt does get attention, some bad, mostly good and I have yet to hear from a member that they didn't like getting the good attention.

Ah, but the argument is not whether or not the kilt gets attention, it is about the intent behind wearing it. I get lots of attention when wearing my kilt, and enjoy both the good and the bad. The good, because even though I'm married I love chatting with a pretty girl. (Who doesn't?) The bad because it gives me the chance to make an idiot ashamed of themself. I don't, however wear the kilt to get that attention. I wear it because I like the comfort, and showing off my Scot heritage in a way that my big bushy red beard alone can't.

I am taking my kilt to Europe. I asked my wife if I needed to pack my tux for New Years Eve, and she said, "You're wearing your kilt, right?" No tux. Herr is happy, Frau is happy. All is right in the world. May even wear it Christmas eve in Salzburg. Will wear it to family reunion in Graz. That ought to stir up something. Pictures to folow upon our return.
