    My new favorite works best in a bold scottish brouge: "THE LOCH NESS MONSTER..!"

    On a recent trip to L.A., I did receive one negative comment. It was clear from his tone he meant to be disparaging.
    I made eye contact and with more than a hint of saracasm said, "Oh no. A random stranger doesn't approve of how I'm dressed. How will I ever live with the shame..." and walked off. As far as I know, he's still standing there trying to think of a come back.

    I don't generally get too many comments. Most of my kilt wearing is done at reenactments, or while piping. However, when I'm asked what I wear under the kilt my most frequent response is "That depends upon the company, the occasion and the temperature. Not necessarily in that order". If it's a male of the twit species the answer is sometimes "I'm always a bit puzzled when another guy takes an interest in the state of my underwear. Is there some reason it interests you?"

    I was walking through a pub the other night when an attractive young lass tried to call me over to her table. I just knew she was going to ask the dumb question, so I ignored her and kept walking.

    I couldn't be bothered with silly people.

    Since I'm still single (and love the attention), I think I would have let her "bother" me.;)

    The only bad remark I ever received was from the typical cowardly idiot yelling out of the moving car. You have to do your best to ignore them.

    Of course, I sometimes get the looks from across the street and such, but I don't let them bother me. All the people who have approached me have always been very nice, if somewhat misinformed at times.

    My favorite comeback to the question,"Do you play the Bagpipes" is, Some one has to drinkk while the pipers are piping! I wore my kilt to the my companies party and got a committment from the owner to wear a kilt at the next party.

    Had a gentleman say to me this weekend that he wanted to hear the bagpipes. I told him I'd love to hear him play. He just looked at me vacantly and smiled and I waved and moved along.

    My favorite is when someone attractive asks if you're cold under your kilt to say, "That depends, are you offering to warm things up?"

    Sunday's reactions

    Was down to Newport Beach where I've gotten the snide comments previously about my kilts so I was ready .... and happily all the comments were good.
    One stocky gent came up, looked at me and asked "where does a man buy a kilt around here? I think I've finally gotten the stones enough to wear one"
    I don't think he'll hear any disparaging(sp?) comments about his "skirt".
    Another guy on the way out said "Hey, nice kilt !"
    Still later on my way out to my car in Fullerton I heard some giggles from a couple of young girls which I ignored, followed by two guys in their mid-20s.
    One said "Hey man, that's a nice kilt" I of course said Thanks.
    Seems the general population likes the Irish National (which my lead singer and I now call "beligerently green" ... it's bright).

    One member of the forum (who I cannot recall to give proper credit)put forth the following when asked if he plays the bagpipes: "No I don't..do you play the banjo?" It does leave them confused for a second or two.

    If I'm with the wife and someone asks if I have on anything under the kilt she cracks up and says "you're kidding, right?"

    Old thread, but still very relevant.

    As a smart ***, I love smart *** comments. I was out last night doing some live band karaoke in my kilt (say what you like, but I love karaoke). The band were huge smart asses and were messing with everyone who came up. It was great fun.

    When it came my turn, they got looks on their faces like christmas had come. We started going back and forth with our various quips, all in good fun, and had the whole bar laughing uproriously by the time I started my song. Some favorites:

    ---
    guitarist: Wait, are you Scottish?

    me: I'm Lithuanian.

    guitarist: Really?

    me: No.
    ---
    drummer: What are you wearing under there?

    me: Your girlfriend's lipstick.
    ---
    The guitarist then laid down on the stage to perform a kilt check
    guitarist: I can see this guy's twig and berries.

    me: Keep your face there, I need to take a leak.

    (this is not the first time people have laid down to try and see what's up the kilt. when it happens, alcohol is usually involved)
    ---
    My absolute favorite quip came from the bassist. He asked me what my sporran was, but before I could answer with my own smart *** comment, he called it my Scottish magnum condom holder. Only holds one. It was so much better than anything I was gonna say.
