Calling all Kilted Marines! There’s a new group over on the book of the face. Swing on by and check it out. It was started by a US Marine, but I imagine Marines from all over (hello British Royal...

There are a number of my MacLean kinsmen in the affected areas around Okanagan. As of today, none have lost their homes. Let's hope that these fires are controlled and extinguished soon.

Well then! Semper Fidelis!

Great photo; wonderful outfit! Love the pipes, too! Nothing like silver mounts to catch the eye...

Now I'm homesick for San Diego :boohoo:

No offense intended! (In reading that back, it sounds bad :oops: :lol: ) What I meant to say is that some folks prefer kosher--read: vegetarian--lasagne. Others prefer meat sauce in theirs. Meat...

A Laphroaig 18 seems to have made its way into the Scotch cabinet... Sublime!!!!

Well.... Our family consists of Christians, Jews, and atheists. Thus, we tend to stay away from the more traditional religious overtones of the holiday season, opting instead for a more egalitarian...

I retired as a Gunnery Sergeant. I wear the gold collar rank insignia as a kilt pin. I like the way the single Gunny chevron compliments the Leatherneck tartan. I have no issue with doing this,...

I will be kilted in my MacLean Hunting greatkilt on Halloween. Call it my "Culloden Memorial" costume...

Laphroaig 10 is my go-to Islay ,but my favorite is Lagavulin. Specifically, Lagavulin 21. Sublime!

There's always some Glenlivet (not an Islay, of course) around for general purpose, as I know...

Understood. He will turn up shortly, I'm sure.

Kyle's a forum regular. If he's incommunicado, he's sure to turn up shortly.

I've done business with him; he's a stand-up guy. No worries.

Look what I found...

:clap: :lol:

Cracked me up....

The wife and I are totally hooked.

I mean: how awesome would it be to find yourself the Laird of Glenbogle??

Stewart's a universal tartan; anyone can wear it...

Pictures are required!

Autumn has already begun in the higher altitudes of the Northwest:

Looking forward to the cooler weather. :clap:

Sydnie7, I couldn't disagree more. I'm assuming that you're indulging in a bit of hyperbole to illustrate a point, but I think the stretch is a bit too far. Many kilties opt for a sgian brew. Cops...

AH! Capitalism at work! A truly great idea! If I were able to attend, I'd be an easy mark.....

Perhaps the organizers could issue "Sgian brews" to all the attendees... Proper appearance, and functionality (albeit for a different, yet more pleasurable purpose).

I'll be there. Saturday I'm taking the fam, and Sunday I'll be playing w/the Olympia Highlanders. :piper:

Of the four in my family (wife, son, daughter, and yours truly) I seem to be the most frequently unbifurcated. My daughter opts for a skirt only for formal affairs, and my wife rarely dons a dress...

Wish I could have made it to Portland. I was hoping to be there, but I found myself otherwise obligated on the day. Next year for sure!

Alas, I can't make it; I signed up for the Lakefair 1/2 marathon in Olympia, WA, the same weekend... However, I'll be at Enumclaw the following weekend if any XMTS members wish to tilt a pint!

Retired Gunny here... Excellent advice, especially for Lieutenants and Captains!
