Wore my Lindsay to our sister church across town; my sister in law became a member there (but i digress), had several ladies comment on the kilt favorably, one older lady asked if I was going to play the pipes; seem disappointed when I told her I didn't play them in public. I thought I was going to get away without the "question" till we stopped at wal-mart, just after we walked in a group of younger "goths" walked by, stopped as though they had just seen a ghost and were about to go on when one screwed up his courage and said " Kick a@@ kilt dude, you know where I can get a X-kilt? I told him I assumed from any one of the X-kilt makers ala AmeriKilt et al, told him to Google it, and to look up this forum. Seemed like a nice exchange then he said "it it true?' I asked him what he meant, to which he said "you know the commando thing?" "what do you mean?" "My friends say if you wear a kilt you have to go commando" " the term is Regimental, and no you can wear anything you please" "You can?" "Yup, it's your life" "Cool dude, really cool".

The really amazing thing about this was the fact here is a kid dressed in black, with a weird (to me) bangy hair cut, make up and black polished finger nails who was going to going to forgo wearing a kilt, because his friends said he would have to go "regimental"! We try so hard to fit in, regardless how "different" we think we are.
