Let The Countdown Begin!

[KiltedPrivateer]

As a daily kilt wearer I'm pretty good at picking out the deviant in the crowd.  Not that kilt checks are a daily occurrence - Thank God.  But you only need it to happen once to learn to keep an open eye.  And I'm quite certain the wife would be incredibly UN-amused at such a woman and would probably escort her to the nearest officer of the law.  Not unlike if a man were to do the same to a woman.

Now - I do not frown on a true kilt check.  And a professional kilt checker knows the difference and knows how to discreetly answer "The Question"

Ok, i'll just leave it at that.

HAH!!!! THAT makes my 5:27 waiting for the whistle MUCH easier!!! lol looks like my hubby at faire when he's had too much loki!!!

I refuse to wear kilts for three key reasons- 1) I'm Irish, and outside of the Ulster-Scots who wear variants of their kilts from Scotland, it's not an Irish thing; 2) I have thighs like tree-trunks, and have to wear boxer-briefs to keep them from grinding themselves into oblivion... chafing is not my friend; and 3) I am kinda the anti-trend sort, if everyone else is doing something, I avoid it or outright do the opposite out of instinctive defiance.

So, no, I will never be seen at faire in a kilt

Around this group, it may not be safe to say "never".  So, you'd better make sure you don't ever get drunk enough for the wenches to put you in a kilt and take pictures for evidence.

Hmmm... I was of the belief that wearing a kilt WAS bucking the norm.  In fact, at faire I'm a breeches wearin privateer, cavalier or swordsman.  I only wear my kilt to faire if we go highland fling weekend or if it is extremely hot opening weekend and I want a wee bit o' air to circulate around the ole boys.

Otherwise, I'm the only kilt wearin guy in my office.  Definitely anti-conformist.

I'm also not Scottish or Irish - Possibly Welsh though

I don't drink, so I should be safe... ish

The big trends at faire for guys- pirates, Scots, and the mommy-didn't-hug-me-enough gaudy spikey armour wearers (you know who you are!   ), so I avoid those trends out of nascent defiance. Around the "office", I'm pretty normal- 5.11s and Bates boots, so I guess I'm a weekend non-conformist  

[Jack Daw at Work]

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!

Amen, sister.

Ok, guys, bind the jewels or let them swing, it doesn't change the fact that there are only 50 days to go!!!

50!!  50!!  i can almost taste that wake-up Scotch Egg. Mmmmm!

[KiltedPrivateer]

i can almost taste that wake-up Scotch Egg. Mmmmm!

Definitely the wife and myself's way to start off the morning at faire.  Assuming of course that we actually make it through the gate while its still morning.  Otherwise - LUNCH!  (o:

[bellevivre]

NO! Morning haggis... *sigh*


haggis with major grey chutney and a nice mug of earl grey is THE way to start the day!!!

[Hercules]

Loved Scottish eggs until I got a bad one this past year. Now I kinda get nauseous with 'em. 

Ms. Bellevivre. If you like Earl Grey try some Lady Grey. Twinnings makes a decent batch. Citrus twang to traditional Earl Grey.

[Lairde Daniel]

Okay Kilted where did you get the body glide?  Been looking for it and when I ask I just get the "Weirdo"
look...hmm might not just be the question 

[Hercules]

I've seen BodyGlide I THINK at Sports Authority or one of those sports stores.
