A few months ago, I asked for advice on what tweed jacket to wear. Happy to say that Rocky at USA Kilts had a beautiful green tweed that was perfect. Now I have the pleasure of sharing some photos...

One of each, please.

I had some last spring. It was good, but I'm glad I only bought one bottle. Out of all the Glenfiddich I've had, I think the 15 is still my favorite.

We have a pretty strict dress code too. We work with the public, and our appearance reflects on the company--of course they're going to make you dress well and keep groomed!

On a day like this
clouds low overhead
tree leaves on fire
and books unread
I retreat to the pub
my pipe in hand
for a dram of uisge
and worries remand.
Hemingway, Behan,
great works abound

I'll just leave this here...

Damn, I'm already taking off this weekend to go to Oktoberfest. Hopefully I'll be in Chicago soon (October or November) and can meet up with some of you guys then...

NICE! Looks great! Scott is the best.

This makes beer sounds absolutely revolting. I'll stick with a stein.

Great photos! Those mountains make it look like Scotland.

My last name is Long (of course, no relation to the Loch, but fun nonetheless). Thanks for posting!

Hmmm, not finding it in any of those sites. It looks a bit like this:

except it was olive canvas and the flap was about twice as long.

In high school and (part of) college, I had this really amazing military surplus bag that I used to carry my books, laptop, etc....until it was stolen. I'm trying to find another on the intarwebs,...

Awesome! Where did you get that jacket?!?

I just finished the chapter on Wallace and Bruce in Magnusson's Scotland: Story of a Nation. These photos are great! Thanks for posting them!!!

There are two types of bagpipes: well-made pipes and garbage pipes. There really is no in-between. If you're looking for a set of pipes to hang on the wall as decoration, then I'd say buy these...

Last night I had such an amazing Gimlet. Plymouth, of course, and always fresh juice. That really helped to cut the heat AND the scurvy!

It's about 500 F and 300% humidity here in Wisconsin right now. What do you guys go for when the summer heat rears its ugly head?

I've been enjoying a lot more mojitos as well as some lighter...

It's the same reason I call my (Irish-American) friends "Micks". Taking a pejorative term and making it our own. Taking the power out of it.

Very smart! Looks like a lot of fun!


(and I wouldn't have given her my kilt, either)

In Irish it means "Crone".

You both look like you were having a lot of fun! The other guy in this photo is Master Chief from the video game Halo.

Yes, but you can always completely delete your Google account--something that Facebook will never let you do;

Nevermind, a friend got me in. I'll try to find you and add you to my X Marks Circle.

Send me an invite!!!
