More Olympic Kilts

At the Gold Medal round of Curling today, kilted pipers piped the teams in. My wife was yelling across the house, "Hey, they're wearing kilts! Kilts!"

I just caught a fleeting glimpse of them though. She said they were a red and gray tartan.

I missed it too but found this page

had a good search and found a few cute girls involved in the sport, esp. in the u.s.

Didn't the US players pose nude for a calendar? Or did I read that wrong?

**MacMullen** · 24th February 06, 01:23 PM

The nude calendar wouldn't surprise me. I think the US Olympians have been doing that now for a few Olympics to raise money for the program.

Here's the pic from the ski article:

Father Bruce was one of Finley Mickel's most vocal supporters

Yeha but who's standing behind the piper?

Also came across this video on NBC, under the heading: Kilts, Screaming and Curling

I'm happy to see that picture. I have a flyers jacket very similar to that one and I've never worn it with the Kilt because I didn't know how it would look. Mine is a USAF Type G-8 which is a bit thicker than that one but it sure doesn't look bad in the pic...
