Finally met a member of the Kilt Police... And I wasn't kilted.

I think someone's in love secretly.......

**Alan H** · 25th June 15, 06:48 PM

pffffttt...ain't no secret! Half of the guys in the west that do the Heavies have some sort of crush on Britt! Just like most of the guys in the east have a crush on Adriane! There are a lot of amazing, independent, funny, strong women in the Games and pretty much all of them are crush-able. I could list twenty without even thinking twice. In fact, this might be a pic post opportunity.

Well, the thing with men in kilts is that we are secure enough in our own masculinity to be able to appreciate strong women!

During my recent Toronto visit (where a kilt was usual after-work attire) i used the busses to get about. After being asked by the fellow "are you wearing underwear?", the inquisitor continued on to seriously explain the details of specific physical anatomy of the historic battle-fighting Scots as the traditional reasoning for breechless. The lady standing there at the bus stop couldn't find enough other places to look. Oddest 'history of kilts' lesson I've heard to date. He couldn't fathom the grey granite tartan either. "but what clan is it?". Clan Fashion ..as i watched the wheels slowly turn to sound 'fashion' with a scot accent in his mind.

Oh boy.. this is where it is sometimes necessary to explain that the Tartan Industry is in the business of selling a lot of fabric.. and for whatever reason, you bought that one.

The adorable, competent and generally wonderful Brittney Boswell from Texas, wears frilly pink/purple/orange bloomers under her kilt when she throws at the Games.

If you ask, or tease her about them, she will gladly express her opinion of your astute comments by showing them to you.

Oh my goodness, Alan, best cheer-me-up of the day!!

I am quite certain that Brittney's super-powers (over both athletics and the hearts of men) are intrinsically tied to those bloomers! I think I may know a certain future Scottish Backhold Wrestling official that NEEDS a pair of frilly bloomers. Do you suppose they come in turquoise?

I love that there is so much humor balanced with a healthy respect for kilts and kilt culture found here. And I am quite certain that any self-appointed kilt cop's head would explode. (I am also quite certain that I can give no guarantee for the safety of anyone who ever again asks if my husband "wears panties under that thing?" Grrrrrrrrr)

My ever so calm and gallant husband wrapped his arm around me and pulled me back towards the direction of our cabin and whispered, "Honey, she just doesn't have a clue, leave it alone." Fine... but it didn't stop me from fuming for quite some time!!

I am seriously considering a study to determine exactly why Celtic Bloodline times Alcoholic Beverage plus Inane Question/Comment equals Near Murderous Rage.

I had to purchase a Celtic Goddess t-shirt for my loving wife after an incident like this at the Mt. Pleasant, SC games a few years back. She'd had a Guinness as we entered and did the walk about, then allowed me to look at some wares while she stopped and talked with some of the folks at the Clan Gunn tent "And had a dram of whisky with them. Well, maybe two, but it was very nice whisky. And definitely NOT three!" From there, we were waiting in the cue for something to eat when we heard some comment along the lines of "Edjits an' there d**n Black Watch kilts." She's off like a shot, gone in a flash and beginning to howl like a banshee! After a heartbeat I step to get her when a hand grabs my shoulder and a wonderful baritone voice broadcasts, "Ye best be callin on ambulance en nay be getting yursel kild oo thar chasin' da likes a her!" She stopped her forward momentum, turned on a dime and returned as if nothing had happened. And then introduced me to the one of the people that she had been talking with at the Clan Gunn tent.

Having square and round danced for years, wearing bloomers just like Britt's, I know you can get turquoise. There are lots of dancers in Nevada. Run 'square dance bloomers, reno nevada' in your search engine and you may get a store near you. You will definitely get the names of a few callers. Call one them close to you and they or their wives will tell you where you can buy bloomers.

Good luck with supplying your official with bloomers - can I be a fly on the wall?

I have no doubt, Bill, that had there been a reference to "panties" under her fine man's kilt tacked onto the Black Watch comment, said ambulance would have been called. Grrrrrrrr..... Now where's that fine whisky?
Oh.... and would you please send word to Richrail on where he can buy me a Celtic Goddess t-shirt? I do believe I'm in need. CHEERS!!

Well now, since said "future Scottish Backhold Wrestling official" would be me, I'll gladly post pictures if/when the sport gets going (due to Alan's amazing efforts) in our part of the world, and I've donned those snazzy bloomers!! Believe it or not, I am already a folk-style wrestling official for youth and high school, so can't wait to add the Backhold Wrestling to the skill set when plans come to fruition.
