    Oh. I see. Well, personally, I don't like kittens. They're too playful.

    No, the way it should go is like this;

    Someone makes a post that says; "I like kittens and sunshine, they are fun"

    A few others will chime in that they too believe that kittens and/or sunshine are fun.

    Then one of the usual suspects will post that kittens, sunshine, and fun are somewhat overated in his book.

    Some folks mildly disagree,

    And then another usual suspect will post a lengthy diatribe about how in his many travels kittens, sunshine and fun are pretty suspect. In fact he agrees with some landed gentry who's name you never heard of that while some of the common people might find fun, kittens and sunshine agreeable, He has certainly never seen fit to try them, particularly outwith their naitive kitten sunshine land.

    And then another of the usual suspects (sycophant division) will quote their post and add something like " + 1 my lord, Hear Hear "

    Frankly, I don't care for kittens; and, I think you're really understating the risk of skin cancer when you insist that there's nothing wrong with sunshine.

    So true Zardoz . We have a Tilted Kilt in Indianapolis . It's not meant to be a replica of a true Scottish Pub , their main focus is to be a competitor against Hooters with a Scottish twist .

    If one goes to the Tilted Kilt , it's supposed to be a Hooters experience first and something vaugely Scottish second , it's all meant to be light hearted and fun . Mike from Dayton's pictures tell the story !

    If someone goes to the Tilted Kilt and expects it to be more " Scottish " is kind of like going to Disney World and expecting Mickey to be real . Their marketing focus is on " males and sales " .

    Not saying whether that is right or wrong , just saying . The whole thing is meant to be a fun thing , I agree with your comment about a detour to " Nofunistan " , sometimes things are meant for serious critiquing and should be , but sometimes ( as in this case ) it's all meant for fun !

    Regards , Mike

    Who is doing the "serious critiquing?" And why is that such an issue? Aren't forum members allowed to say what they have to say in a tactful and tasteful manner without fear of reprisal or a negative backlash? Just saying. This is as far as I am going to go on the issue - let's follow the example set by Joshua and get back on topic.

    Cheers,

    Cheers,
    Yep , they sure are allowed and that's what I was doing . Didn't criticize anyone , was only agreeing with Zardoz , just trying to keep the topic of " Tilted Kilt " in perspective by pointing out , hey it's a Hooters with kilts .

    But, are you positive about that? I'm not so sure.
