UK comments yet again

[cloves]

I had mentioned in another thread awhile back that every time i wear my UK I get a positive comment about it. Well today was no exception.

I work in a cd/music store...while at the counter ringing a guy in....

dude: "Wow, that's cool, is that some sort of combat kilt?"
(i was wearing a workman's with big boots and a long wallet chain)

me: *smiling* uh...yeah I guess you could call it that (i knew he meant it as a compliment)

dude: "right on, well then I hope you're on my side"
He then gave me a thumbs up sign and left the store with his purchase.

I wasn't exactly sure how to take that last comment, but I'm hoping it meant he thought it looked tough.

HAHA. YEah, sound's like he thought it looked "tough."

A couple of the guys "riverkilt and KCW" seem to think I need a black workman's to go with my "look."

Hey Brad, maybe you need to head to PEI to hook up with Cloves and show the locals your colors!

I gotta few tatttoos, but my ears haven't quite been stretched as big as yours. only 8 guage yet. Still, I'm sure we'd make an intersting couple o' kilties!

[Tattoo Bradley]

Hehe. Well, the ears and extensive tattooing actually came pretty quickly (a few short years.) It happens like that when ya tattoo for a living. Yeah, I think we'd definately make an interesting pair o' kilties.

I'm with "dude." There are numerous leaders, soldiers and mercenaries out there to be sure. As a warrior, citizen, beneficiary of anothers' protective presence, there are certain ones of all of those that I definitely want to be near at crunch time.
I believe that in the image you cast, "dude" saw a model of a hoped for ally. The protector, a guardian of the treasure that is our posterity. The force to be reckoned with. A model of leadership, the vanguard.
It's a good image! look at me!

well that's cool Morrison, I guess secretly I've sorta thought of myself as Amazonian in the warrior sense.
