    Bowling in a kilt



    Sorry its not a great pic, just off my phone. First time the folks at the bowling alley had seen my kilt and there were LOTS of comments but none of them mean-spirited (considering they were from friends). A great time.

    And I did strike on that throw BTW.

    Any problems around the air vents?

    Nope, but I didn't go regimental. Two guys who had their kids there asked and made sure I would not be traumatizing them. I honestly feel a lot more comfortable with a pair of black boxer briefs. Keeps me and everyone else from worrying.

    I feel the same way. 90% of the time I wear boxer briefs. If its blazing hot out I do what I have to to keep cool.
    Looks like you had fun.

    Awesome job there mate!


    Yet again, what was it any buisness of theirs? Would they ask a woman in a skirt the same question? I get so tired of it!

    Ren-fair and Highland games I tend to wear things under. Mainly when there are children who may be more curious than they should be. The Pub? ... That's a whole different matter.

    I've found guys at the bar to be more curious than children, though maybe that's just the bar I periodically visit...

    Our bowling ally in Thurso closed down a few years ago. We used to go for a game quite often after work.

    As to the question? It is always going to be asked. Because of the media and hundreds of photo's on the net of men showing their bits and movies such as carry on up the Kyber where it is made into a joke. To women I would say, "same as your husband/boyfriend." To a man who asks (usually wearing pants/jeans) "same as you". If they are wearing nothing then its their problem and would they tell you?

    I have never been asked.
