True indeed, and better for your back (although the younger you are the less important this "seems".) I just act as thought I'm practicing to lift heavy objects..."with the knees, not the back".

Once, when I had first started wearing kilt, I was in an acrylic kilt (long gone now) and I said to my wife "check this out..." I then did a twirl (not sure why really). Well, I discovered the kilt was not going to tolerate much of that. I felt the nethers get chilly and felt a flush of panic as I realized what had just happened. Nikki was so red, it was great (the her being embarrassed part anyway

)

I was at a Celtic Festival on St. Patrick's Day in my hometown of Roanoke VA. It was down in the city. I was coming around a street corner with my family when a wind current just flipped my WPG Seaforth pleats up like nobody's bussiness.

I've NEVER known a wind to phase my WPG Seaforth. Beware the city streets.

Use caution when you mix kilts and alcohol.

When I went to see the Tossers, Tony Duggins was piss drunk and he lifted my pleats up to my shoulders and spilled a beer down my back. Thankfully, I was not regimental.

Which fist did you use to rearrange his ignorant teeth?

I'm a lover, not a fighter... but he's not my type.

A friend went with me to the Scottish Village held here for Tartan Week (well, this IS NYC!

) in Grand Central Station. As we walked around outside the building, he didn't think to avoid the subway grates in the sidewalk, and wound up doing a Marilyn Monroe.

Tell you what, gentlemen, having been raised in kilts from the late 1940's I know what I am talking about. All these nice stories of sudden wind gusts and the like smack of wishfull thinking. Anyone who wears a kilt regularly is well aware of the necessary precautions, and does not allow such scenarios to arise in the first place.

So how exactly does one remain modest with 70-80 mph gusts like we in southern California experienced earlier in the week?

Easy there. I'm a country boy. You can't tell me there isn't a drastic difference in the wind strength between the warm hills of rural Tennessee and the city streets further north. Nothing I've encountered in this TN town can touch my WPG -- I was feeling pretty safe.

You'll have to understand some of us aren't so well-traveled and seasoned, too.
