    Wow, that would burn me somethin' fierce. Amazing self restraint.

    I was kilted in Chicago all last week ... my parents were bothered and they were telling me that I was the only one doing it, lol. Guess we showed them, eh?

    Don't let them aggravate you too badly though. They'll put up nice one liners, but in the end we represent tradition and class. That never goes out of style.

    I would have been so tempted to fling my hands through the air, screech out "Why yes I am still alive and haven't I just aged gracefully!" while promptly sitting down on the gents lap and putting my arms around him.

    Restraint was the right response. Treat the insecure guy with the contempt he deserves by ignoring him.

    I guess I'll have to look that one up.

    Having just returned from a long weekend tip to Chicago, I must say I had pretty positive reactions and was kilted all weekend. Headed out Saturday night in my X-Marks and "Real Men Wear Kilts" black T and I think that helped break the ice a bit. Saw many a folks catch the saying on the shirt, then look down and had a good smile. Was in the X-Marks again on Michigan Ave on Monday and pretty similar. Only negative comments heard were from unknowing/uneducated kids not understanding what a kilt was.

    All in all I felt very comfortable in the windy city.

    Good job. I've begun to grow quite a thick skin myself.

    Best just to ignore and walk away if possible.

    Very well done. Your silence sent him the message that his statements were not worthy of a reply.
