    I hope it's a joke.
    Isn't it amazing how food can sound so good just by having absolutely no clue of what it is?

    The band look quite striking in their red and black.

    Too bad they have to have a reason other than, "It looks cool and different" to do it.

    hey

    I got an e-mail today from a nubian prince who can not withdraw his 500 million dollar fortune, so if I send him my bank account info and social security number he will give me half! Anyone wanna partner up?

    I agree, though not a peer reviewed article, but I have seen alot of very good people here on x-marks with websites that also do NOT have cited sources, or they cite they're own source...HA!

    I don't see why the argument still exisits, no one argues over the sarong, they just put it on and walk with pride regardless of nationaility.

    It's an interesting take on Celtic wear. Sounds a bit dubious to me.

    Ah, yes, those ancient Irish chieftains wearing kilts with their Arms embroidered on the front...

    Steve, time to crank up the ol' embroidery machine and come out with a new line of "Irish Thunder" Freedom kilts!

    Thats not as bad as I was thinking going into it. Not to say it wasn't- but I have read on some sites claiming to be experts in Celtic history say that there is no such thing as a Irish kilt at all. They are purely of Scottish tradition and Scottish only. The only reason there exists such a thing is due to the ever growing popularity of St. Patrick's Day. So it's the muddying up of the waters thing, "art imitating life or life imitating art". I don't know and I don't care- I'm wearing it anyway. They'll have to pry it off my cold dead...neked...body.....anyway.
