Cold Comment

[mbhandy]

Last night Marilyn and I went with her Sister and Brother-in Law to see W the movie and dinner.
While walking from the movie to the Local Lizard Mexican restaurant. One comment was I like your costume. To which I replied Thanks but it's a Kilt, mate.
His girlfriend knocked him and said You knew that.

Then when we got to the restaurant a Scottish gentleman came up to me a said how can you wear your kilt in this cold. Too which I replied heavy Wool socks and he said he would have to give it a try. My brother-in-law asked me if I get people coming up to me quite often and I said Yes and Marilyn said Kilts are a people magnet and I get a lot of business that way.

A good place to eat. Hopefully less crowded for you than when I was there during the Sundance Film Festival.

I haven't recently received the cold comment from anyone, but a chick I know still thinks I'm playing with her head when she sees me kilted on a cool day, but wearing shorts on a warm day... I've tried telling her that 9 yards of wool, wrapped around both legs, is warmer than a single layer of denim around each leg, but, she still thinks its the same as a normal s___t, where it's too breezy and cold to wear during the colder months.

I get two types of the cold question. Men not familiar with a kilt ask how cold it gets underneath. Women ask if my knees are cold.

Usually the questioner is shivering in cotton jeans and a cotton sweat shirt, and I'm wearing enough wool to knit a sheep.

I've been asked if I'm cold several times, mostly at funerals, by members of the Honor Guard.

The place was hoppin' but no waiting line.

Here is the Pic of the night in Jan when it was cold:

First time I got that question it was snowing out, was down in Prescott at the Prescott Mining Company. I'd just walked in with a lady friend and a very attractive young hostess said, "Aren't you cold?" I heard myself respond, "No, I've got a heater under there." She blushed...no clue where my response came from...leaped out unfiltered...probably heard it first on this board.

I walked into the supermarket on Saturday morning just as a gentleman was coming out. He asked "aren't you cold?" to which I replied, "Yes, my hands are frozen."

It got a laugh.

The only comments I've heard so far weren't said to me directly. They were from a team in my dart league.

"Let's see if he's wearing that in January."

Sounds to me like they might be surprised come January.


Tetley - That was a perfect response.
