When I went to the Highland Games last year, it just felt so wrong, all these guys running around in kilts everywhere. I wasn't proud that they were honoring their heritage (or just flashing some calf)---I was irked that these POSERS were out here DOING MY THING.

I take deep breaths, and think to myself, "Share the love, dude, share the love."
It is kind of confusing, this thing about "your thing". I have been wearing kilts for well over twenty five years on most continents of the earth but have always worn the kilt for special occasions, whether that occasion was a wedding, a funeral, a night out on the town or just because I wanted to take my wife out for dinner but I have never given much thought to wearing the kilt everyday since that to me is like the guy who discovers religion and runs around with a religious tome trying to convert everyone and their brother to the new "thing" they have found. They get really boring, really fast.

My point is this, I have on many occasions attended the Renn Faires kilted and sometimes I don't but if I do, I'm doing YOUR thing? Is this a bit arrogant or am I reading it wrong?

One must remember that there are many people who discovered long ago what we have discovered long after but don't lose control because they know that this isn't something that the rest of the world hasn't caught onto yet.

Like the old C&W song said, "I was country, when country wasn't cool".
