Lifting a Kilt

**JS Sanders** · 2nd March 08, 05:42 PM

Outta curiosity, how do yall react when a stranger lifts your kilt?

No answer to The Question is sought - these numpties simply grab a handful of pleats and lift, or in other circumstance are perhaps are more tactile in seeking information.

I've always been of the opinion that it's a bit rude. They seem to take advantage that I'm pre-occupied with piping. Slapping a hand would interrupt playing, so I blindly kick backwards like a barnyard Jenny. Rarely makes contact, but no one has ever made the attempt twice.

Slainte,

It is rude, me thinks!

I look but don't touch. I am even careful looking if the gent is with a lady.
It's a respect thing.

I do have a mirror (really). I ask permission though.

Good plan. The only time I've seen my wife get rowdy (as if violence might ensue) was when she and I were out with Southern Scot recently and a drunk woman kept trying to life my kilt while I was singing.

SouthernScot was looking for a place to hide!

I noticed at the Great S.E.K.S. kilt night in Atlanta a week and a half ago that SouthernScot retreated to the bar when the drunken birthday girls were working up to doing a kilt check on Turpin.

In my brief stint in a pipe band, I was warned about all of the shows that we'd be doing on St. Patrick's day. It never happened to me, but I was ready with my response, just in case:

"See anything you like?"

I don't wear a kilt to get chicks. I've got a great one at home. So when someone other than my wife attempts to "answer the question," my first instinct is to defend myself against the sexual assault, which several have pointed out kilt lifting is, legally. An elbow, a knee, a steel-capped boot... any of these will get the point across.

I once wore a "kilt" to hight school... there was a guy that I was in drama club with who had a crush on me. He asked if I was man enough to wear the kilt the traditional way... I wasn't. But my response to him was, "are you man enough to find out?"

He lifted to mid-thigh before he conceded that I was more of a man.

The only other time I've had my kilt lifted was also by a guy... Tony Duggins from the Tossers. If he'd been any less drunk than he was, I'd have laid him out, right there in front of the crowd.

Right on. That's my point. THE double standard!

While I was standing at a bar waiting for my drink, I felt the back lifting up. I said "hey man!" as I turned around with two clenched fists and one was in the ready position. I was ready to lay him out, but he just backed way.

Do people think that we'll just let them look? That because we're dressed differently they get to poke and prod?
