    Nightstalker at the games.

    I wore my SWK Nightstalker to the Scottish Fest. at the Queen Mary. I had a bunch of people asking me what it was, and telling me how much they liked it; apparently it's unusual enough to catch the eye, even among a bunch of other tartans.

    I stopped at the store on my way home about a half hour ago. Got a "Nice skirt" from an older women; I think she meant it. Anyway, I smiled and said thank you, and as I walked away, I heard her husband(?) tell her "It's a kilt, dear." I imagine she was feeling a little embarrassed, but I didn't bother looking back to see.

    It was kind of nice having someone else do the correcting for me.

    Yes I do have hope for humanity when someone else does the correcting, means to me that we do not have to educate as much as we thought.

    Good tale.

    Thats what I competed in. See pics in the QM thread.
    .. the kilt had concealed a blaster strapped to one thigh and a knife to the other. He was aware of the present gentle customs against personal weapons, but he felt naked without them. Such customs were nonsense anyhow, foolishment from old women - there was no such thing as "dangerous weapons," only dangerous people.
