Kilted Friday

**Mael Coluim** · 21st March 08, 09:12 PM

Paul X608 and myself were walking in the historic section of Fredericksburg headed to one of my favorite watering holes. It had been a hectic work week for us both. We each had on kilts tailored by Rocky of USA Kilts.

We had received a number of smiles and hellos from the ladies, when we became surrounded by a group of orange robed Buddist monks. They wanted to know if we were from Scotland. It must have been a sight for the tourists two kilted guys and Buddist monks!

That definetely would have been a sight for the tourists!!! I wonder if anyone makes kilts that are the same color as the Buddhist monks robes?? You could really make friends with them then!

Cool story, thanks for sharing it.

Yeah, the monks were cool, but I'm not too sure I'd want a kilt that color, lol. Did you happen to hear the lady whistle behind us right before that? Thanks again for a fine evening, Ern. And sorry about being so chatty. Combination of a long day and a big drink

Now that you mention it, in the deep recesses of my mind I do recall a wolf whistle. How flattering! Apologies not necessary. Fiona was glad to see me.

I seem to recall that there's a tartan for a Buddhist monastery in Scotland, which incorporates saffron and maroon.

That is so cool, two worlds united in unbifurcated garments on the streets of Fredericksburg, almost sounds like a movie. I have the haircut of a monk, but not the lifestyle.

The color conglomerations and other life style mixes lend many ideas for my imagination.

Wish you had a photo.

Me, too Jay! I had my digital in my sporran but didn't think to snap. Bet that wolf whistling gal would have been happy to oblige. I think I was too focused in getting Paul a drink. He was really bummed out!
