it is strange the varied responses one can get:

in a tartan -- "Do you play that dungeons/dragons game?";"do you do irish dancing?";"do you play bagpipes?";"is this a costume?";"are you Irish?"

in the black utilikilt -- "is that your family tartan?";"Are you with the band?";"do you play bagpipes?", etc.

I think the best responses is what I have gotten lately a fair amount, "where's your kilt?"

Some people look to judge no matter what. Some people are just curious. One older lady (the one asking if I did Irish dancing), after I told her I just wear it because I like it, said "And why shouldn't you!"

bizarre world we live in . . .
