Accidental exposure

I certainly hope that you are OK, as I know what it is like with dogs, both good and bad.

Last time I related a true story of dogs and kilts I wound up with a red card so gonna pass on this...

Also glad you're okay. There have been times when I was wearing underwear with the kilt where something totally unexpected happened and the kilt flew up but I was glad to at least have underwear on....accidently exposing tartan boxers doesn't seem much worse than the young men in low slung pants intentionally exposing their tartan boxers....

I just passed a kidney stone laughing so hard, Mel. I honestly hope you and the kids are okay. Hopefully, no scars physically, mentally or otherwise. I haven't had a bad experience as I'm still new to wearing the kilt, which is why I don't go regimental either. Playing it safe as it were.
Cheers,
KC

It may be worse exposing the fact you are wearing boxers.

Especially Iif you were in Scotland.

From what I read on this forum and what I know of Scots in Scotland I estimate Americans are about 5 times more likely to be not wearing drawers. You may

ponder on the 'why' of that if you will.

I was competing at the annual TA piping competition back in the early 80s and was lucky enough to get in the prize lists.

The prize giving was a few hours later and during the intervening period sat in the bar as one tends to do.

Prize giving was in the drill hall....a well polished wooden floor if I do recall. Colonel Someoneorother, his wife and some of the other officers and wives were politely clapping as I went up and smashed down my best attempt at a guards halt whilst wearing metal shod brogues and ......wheeeeeeeeeechhhhhh.........anyone for meat and two veg?

"Imagine the embarrassment if you'd been wearing scivvies!" That's what some fellow pipers told me.....

I was more concerned that it had been very, very cold that day....if you get my meaning!

Regimental, in most cases, is not an option for me. Working a vendor booth at a number of Midwest events, we have merchandise displayed up to eight feet high for visibility. You guessed it. When I'm the only guy available, someone invariably wants the item at the top of the grids. I'm not saying it boosts sales, but folks seem to get a kick out of watching the guy in a kilt climbing up a ladder. Who am I to refuse?

While working at a bar, I used to have to climb up on the bar quite often to reach bottles placed high on the wall. No problems while climbing up, but I did always hold the kilt about my legs as I jumped back down.

However - while hiking the Appalachian Trail there was one day when I was zoning out as I hiked, head down, just kind of powering along. Because my eyes were down at the trail I didn't notice the blown-down tree lying across the trail at head height, and I smashed into it right on my crown. I basically bounced backwards and landed on my back, kilt flown back around my waist. No one else was around, but since I was dazed I just lay there for a few minutes. All I could do was laugh about the situation.

Really?

Anyway, I can only speak for myself. No drawers here, at least most of the time. I will wear some if I'm out on the hill and it's particularly chilly.
