Let The Countdown Begin!

*doing inventory of garb*

Easy for me. Doublet-check. Shirt-check. Sandels-check. Britches-check. Tankards-check,check,check. Flasks-check, check,check, check. Not much else...'cept underwear. Or is commando the norm?

[Laird Fraser of Lovatt]

Ok... i hear people rag on me because i wear a kilt and don't go commando.

I don't like scaring small children and having women follow me around. 

[KiltedPrivateer]

What does going commando have to do with scaring small children - I can scare the crap out of 'em whether I smother my boys are not.  All it takes is a look, and sometimes I throw in long shiny pointy object held high over my head.  Yeah, they don't hang around long after that.

*Shunning under garments since 1996*

two words- high winds

Note to self. Add eye scouring pads to camping list.

ok, i just watched that little guy for 5 minutes straight- where do you GET them?

And seriously- Hubby always goes regimental (when it's not so cold that things go inside to stay warm!) and I have never seen a wind that would flash the purple ribbon stock of someone in a kilt- the wool is too heavy!

[Hercules]

So regimental=commando? 

One of ya'll should make up a training manual with all these terms/phrases in it.

[bellevivre]

hah- there is one- it's called 'The Forums'!

lol really, so many terms are localized it'd be impossible to catch ALL the euphemisms!

[KiltedPrivateer]

Yeah - authentically made kilts, and by authentically I mean NOT Commando kilts or any other such knock off (Not to include Utilikilts which I wear on a daily basis) are designed in such a way as to move with the wind.  That said, if you walk over a fan you will Merilyn (Another new term for Herc), a daily kilt wearer (and all women in skirts) also know that on hot breezy days, the underside of a vehicle can cause an updraft.  Obviously one needs to be prepared for such things.  Oh and don't forget the drunk chick that flat out grabs the hem and raises.  She doesn't get invited back to the party.  In general a kilt is not going raise high enough in a good breeze to show anyone anything but maybe a bit of thigh.  Last I checked, its not indecent exposure to show off some thigh.

[bellevivre]

<snark> except at Scarby. they like the cleavage show but not male thighs at Scarby </snark>

[KiltedPrivateer]

I like-a me some cleavage as well... And not shunning some thigh either.  So long as its a silky smooth womanly thigh *wink*

When was the last time you had sunburn on Mr. Hoo Hoo and his two friends??    Chaffing comes to mind and then there IS that drunken kilt checker...

i'll stick to me black briefs.

[LadyShadow]

There is a topic running around on this forum somewhere about faire terms. 

[Hercules]

there IS that drunken kilt checker...

I DID apologize. Geeeeeeeez.

Two years ago I did see a drunk gal at Scarborough doing just that. She'd wait for a kilt wearing gentlemen to come by. Then yell "Ish you a real Scotshmun" and yank up his kilt all the while giggling. One gal-pal of said kilt wearer was not amused.

I'd like to know what yer doin to allow sunlight up there.  I walk around with my feet on the ground personally.  So Mini Me gets no sunlight lest I'm whizzin out in the open somewheres. 

And chafing was only a problem on a particularly dry day.  In which case a very good friend of mine introduced me to body glide.  Comes in a stick like deodorant.  Rub a bit on the thighs - Walk all day without thigh friction.  Generally though, the sweat is enough lube to keep me from chaffing.  And opening weekend you can count on plenty of humidity.
