    First "Nice Kilt" from a Goth Kid

    This dog had a sub stellar day today. Grilled for three hours by corporate H.R. hacks behind some , got it all resolved and then blew a tire on the way home. OH GOODIE, WE GET TO HAVE DINNER AT MICKEY D's IN WALL MART WHOOT!!!!

    Even thought it is just getting new tires, still after 1600 at wal-mart. Formal occasion 'round here. So I puts on me formal outfit (clean Polo shirt and FK) and head off to the tire and lube center of Wally World.

    We get the car in the cue, and head off to the best restaurant within walking distance - Mickey D's @ Wal Mart. After all that a man needs a smoke. I walk outside and realize I don't have a light. Bummed one off a kid on break and he says "Nice Kilt".

    O.K. he was in his Mickey D's gear, but the multiple piercings and pentagram wristbands gave him away. So I got my light, a nice compliment and the kid gets one of those very classy business cards from FK.

    And --- the tires are pretty nice too. A good end to a crappy day. Behold the power O' the kilt.

    Yeah, I actually get more 'Nice kilt's and such from goth kids than I do from others.

    Those are the best sort of comments. Especially after those weird days.

    A while back I was out and about in my Utilikilt black workman's and ran into a Goth kid in his Utilikilt black workman's. The kid was pretty openly smoking a joint. But I said hello and he just looked me up and down and turned away, didn't even return the greeting.

    Must have been like two women in the same dress at a party or something...or maybe that and olde fat man had stolen his "look."

    Other than that kid, I too get more compliments from male teenagers than any other group.

    In casual discussions with some of the boys in my Scout troop about my interest in kilts, most have been positive. Some have even asked about wearing one themselves. An Assistant Scoutmaster even suggested kilts for all the boys for format occasions. The only negative has been from my own nephew. (We'll have to work on him.)

    Not to offend Ron, but he may have been thinking you were wantin' to share his "gold" or perhaps likely to whip out a badge. My guess is that he wanted neither.

    Could have been getting ready to toss his contraband when he turned away. Pretty common, his back towards you helps to keep you from seeing which way the toss is going.

    You don't quite look 60 ish in your pics. I have seen cops that look older,

    Anyhow this just illustrates that you meet the nicest people in a FREEDOM KILT. Change brands, Change your life

    I mean the scientific evidence in this thread is hard to ignore. In a UK you meet people dressed just like you huffing up illicit drugs probably mixed with insecticide and paint chips.

    In an Fk you meet polite young people who want nothing more than to enjoy a good old fashioned cigarette and compliment you on your fine FK.

    There has to be a lesson (and FK endorsement) in there somewhere
