re the Nihilist's story about a chick from the Old Country ragging on him about the kilt being "Scots Only"...hey...ask some of the kiltmakers in Scotland if they want to make it Scots Only. Sounds like tartan and kilts may not be Scotland's most important export but I'm sure that the folks who are involved in their production think that it's swell that the Diaspora want kilts and are willing to pay for them.

And thanks to Father Stan for clearing up the context of that Biblical citation. I figured that it was something like that but didn't know the particulars. I'm sure, however, that anybody who has the nerve to come up to you in the supermarket and start that bit is convinced that they know more about the Bible than you do and wouldn't even slow down to listen to any kind of historical information.

Best
