Golly willikers, Dude. I just mentioned it once a week ago. Get over it. But since you are bringing it up again and ranting at me, I will take a second to say that I read the description for this thing on the website and I gotta say, seriously, if the only record of a child's christening or someones wedding or graduation or any other signficant family or historical event is your clothing journal, your family needs to check its priorities. Personally, I think your prodgeny are just going to be confused by this thing and wonder what you thought you were doing. But I'm sure you know your relatives better than I do. I already have the (3) diplomas to document those events, and actual, pertenant documentation for all the others. That's why, to me, the kilt passport is redundant and silly. But that's me.
I'm announcing here, too, that I'm working on developing a Haggis Registry. There'll be special places in it where you can record the special event and list all the people that you were there each time to share the magical experience. I'd like to have a recipe section, but I'm a little concerned about copyright liability, so I'll probably have to scrap that. Anyway, for only $18 what better record of the important events of your life could there be?
And be on the lookout for the soon-to-be released Highland Games Attendance Journal ®.

And again, sir, you are entitled to your opinion. If you don't want a kilt passport, then don't order one. It's as simple as that. I am not cutting you down for choosing not to buy one, or making snide remarks about your family.
And btw, I am not going to use the kilt passport as my only genealogical documentation -- I brought up those examples to show that for some, those "little tangibles" have a great deal of meaning.
I have National Park Service "passports" from when I visited National Parks with my grandparents in junior and senior high; When I put them with the photos I took, they bring back good memories. They're just rubber stamps with the name of the park and the date we visited, but to me, they are special.
I guess I look at it differently as a historian; I love documents of any kind. Something that will tell me a little about the person who owned them.
I've always been a big defender of people's rights to disagree here and in general, but dissent and disagreement shouldn't come with disrespect.
Regards,
Todd
