    Well done Derek, you fixed that little guy's wagon!

    What you say about being remembered is very true, it happens to me all the time. I meet people, then again after weeks or months and they remember.
    If I call them all i have to do is say "...remember me? the guy in the kilt" and they remember.
    It can be a real advantage sometimes.

    Thanks Derek, I met with the mother of the lass killed today, she seemed better, but I suspect valium was contributing.

    You are so cool Derek,

    You have class. I would have probably showed the guy my breasts and made a lewd comment that would have started a fight...well....maybe in my younger days...

    The cards were a nice touch. If Freud were still around he'd probably say those who mock us secretly want a kilt for themselves.

    Derek,

    Well done sir! You do have a way about your comments, or in this case lack of comments. A perfect way to end "foot in mouth disease"

    That's great Derek. I always enjoy your stories.

    As for being noticed/remembered, that's quite true. I went to Wal-Mart yesterday in the Hunting Stewart I made (I'll try to have pics soon ) And for the most part it was uneventful.

    Except, as I was walking out the door, the the greeter, an older gentleman, who stands at the door [who, mind you, had said nothing to the previous 5-10 middle-aged to elderly who were leaving] made it a point to catch my attention and tell me to have a nice day.
