    Overheard in the Student Union

    I'm normally a full-time kiltie, but for reasons I won't go into here, I've been wearing jeans this week. This morning, while I was walking through the student union to grab breakfast before class, I happened to overhear two girls talking in line in front of me.

    "I haven't seen the kilted guy this week. I wonder what happened to him."

    I just chuckled to myself. It's true... if I'm not wearing a kilt, I'm invisible.

    It's one of two things:

    1) Either the babes want you, OR

    2) You've become a campus oddity, like the guy who preaches in the union cafeteria or the little old lady who wanders campus, looking for her long-dead husband who was a Classic Lit professor.
    Why, a child of five could understand this. Quick -- someone fetch me a child of five!

    I hope for Mr. MacDougall's sake it isn't number 2.

    Either way, it makes life more interesting.

    And yes, when people get used to seeing you kilted, they expect it. I won't ever dare to go back to the market un-kilted. I caught a rash of crap from everyone one weekend for showing up in shorts.

    Yes in my home town its amazing how everyone says hello to me when I go into town kilted, yet half the folk don't recognise me during one of my rare appearances in trousers or shorts.

    Yes, you've become an accessory for your kilt.

    Think about it this way... you could be (in)famous for OTHER things... at least you're known for looking good in your kilt!
