A bunch of thoughts from this olde rogue.
I live in a small rural town and though I've met two other local kilt owners I'm the only one who wears his kilts most of the time. Reading other folks stories of comments helped me feel more comfortable in my early kilting days. The rabble are a link that gives me a feeling of connection...and I know that the guys on the forum "get it."
Of couse its fun to share when I get a weirdo reaction like the drunk in Albuquerque shouting, "Hey Switzerland" at me...harder for a non-kiltie to understand or care.
And often, for the newcomers, I don't think its as much about the incident as it is about their joining in and participating in the forum...becoming "part of."
Often in the storytelling a new response will be shared that I can use too.
I'd never have tought of "My balls made parole" on my own.
I like them posts. Thanks to them that do.
