    Someone took a random pic of me 5 month s ago and it just now shows up.

    The girlfriend and I went to the Carnegie Science Center and took the tour of the submarine about five months ago. Someone took a random picture of us before the tour and it has just now surfaced. Turns out the guy that took our picture knew someone who worked with my girlfriend, who tagged the picture on facebook, my girlfriend saw it today and fixed the names on the tag and has just now come back to me that someone has taken the picture after 5 months.



    I got a few compliments that day, but I wish I had some flashes to keep my socks up.

    Interesting how that happens, isn't it? When I was on vacation in South Dakota, I had people just wanting to have their pictures taken with me. It seems a bit odd... How cool that you found yours! I'd love to see mine.

    That's pretty cool the photo found its way back to you. I've had people take photos with me, and with the exception of one (which was a society page photo,) I've never seen any of them.

    I just got back from a wedding (kilted with the brides permission) where my son and I were photographed almost as much as the bride My wife is now wondering where the photos will end up and if we will ever see them.

    It is a very strange phenom, that people find it all right to take someones picture with out permission when they see a kilt. I don't mind it at all. Just seems strange to me.

    What I find most odd about this is not the fact that the pic found its way back, but that someone bothered to take my picture. I had no idea the picture was even taken.

    I know a kilt isn't something most people see everyday and that makes it somewhat of a curiosity simply because it's not very common. However, it's still surprising.

    I vacationed in Scotland last October for a week.
    A few weeks after returning home, I was wandering through flickr, and chanced upon a shot of me walking the Royal Mile in Edinburgh.
    I thought it was kind of funny.
    Then again, I didn't see many other kilts, so I guess the photographer had not, either.

    Pretty cool that the picture made it back to you. Funny how things work out like that sometimes.

    On the side, I really loved going to the Carnegie Science Center when I lived in Pittsburgh...then swing by Peppie's for a cheesesteak...man I need to get back down there for a visit!
    I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear

    If this is the men's department, where are the kilts?

    Us kilties are the 21st century equivalent of a two-headed man or a bearded lady.
