Odd exchange at the corner
Whilst walking back from the Pride parade last evening, I had to wait for a green light before crossing the intersection. A male/female couple stepped up to wait as well. He asked me whether I ever 'put on a show.' Confused [as I often am], I asked what he was talking about. He said something like, 'In that kilt, do you ever just let it fly and give everybody a show?'
I told him, 'Well, no. There's nothing under there that people haven't seen before--nothing's missing and there's nothing extra.'
After that ice breaker, he said that he had been wanting to try a UK but didn't know whether he could do it. He asked his lady whether she thought he could pull it off; she said, '  yeh, I didn't know you wanted to wear one of those! Let's get one, babe!'
A few more odd comments followed about stuff like whether 'the boys' were staying cool [it was hot, but breezy] before I could escape into the street.
And that's Austin.

The obscure we see eventually. The completely obvious, it seems, takes longer.

Awsome
Wish people here were so open! Hope you converted him.

Well, that explains my coffee mug with the "Keep Austin Weird" logo.

Keep Austin Weird is the official unofficial slogan for the capital of Texas. Really!

Which tartan were you wearing, Aldisimo?
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

Ah, doesn't really bother me. A little odd, but not quite rude.

It was an olive drab Alpha Kilt, model Edinburgh. BTW, they're on sale now.

Hmmm.. my brother lives in Austin (rather close by in Cedar Park)
Good exchange!
Things I've learned in life:
What you focus on becomes your reality.
You can't control what other people do or say, you can only control how you respond.
Don't act your age, it's not healthy.
