    I voted but didn't post. Where is the crime in that? Just because I could not think of anything witty, really witty, to say....................

    Off on a tangent: how can you tell who has voted and who has not? I see no facility for that.

    Take care, especially when the wind is blowing,
    Ham.

    Yes, it bloody well counts! As such I did vote thusly. I was the second to vote yes so there is someone else who believes that it counts, and rightly so.


    Jock, you should have said:
    Well, at least no one is admitting to even being in the same province as GRANT" not state! We share the same Queen.

    Hamish, the OP can set up a poll can be set up to show how each person voted or not. Kiltedsawyer set it up so that those who voted against it counting would not be publicly shamed by there lack of truly appreciating a genuine kilt lift which I obviously endured last night. Thank you very much.

    You are of course quite correct, dammit and I stand corrected.

    I am not at all sure that you have convinced many people about your "legitimate" kilt lift. I have been known to be wrong, of course, but not I think, in this sad, sad case!

    Being an English prof, I feel obliged to note the typo in the second option. It is unclear whether we are describing Grant as "desperate" (that is, without hope of a real kilt check) or "disparate" (essentially different from those who actually get kilt-checked), but the option remains valid either way.

    I saw if the gods (or whatever you worship) wants to take a look, than it counts, and you have to accept it. because denying the gods tends to be a bad thing.

    It might be considered legitimate since the lift was done by his mother-----------MOTHER NATURE!

    Sorry Grant, count it as a cool breeze in your bloomers but not as a legitimate kilt lift.

    The 4th yes here.

    It's otherwise called a "Marilyn Monroe." Though I highly doubt Grant's moment was as monumentally iconic--but I could be wrong.

    I think the hidden who voted for what was to protect those who voted for the legitimate kilt check from ceaseless harassment from the majority... lol bending over in front of a fan does not count... lifting your own kilt in mixed company does not count.. standing over a vent does not count.... dogs sniffing your privates and then peeing... does not count.... baiting the blind to lift the kilt... does not count.... if it is that important to get kilt checked.... volunteer at a senior citizen center in your kilt... will probably get you results... but not something to brag about....lol

    Disclaimer.... this post was done with tongue firmly in cheek! LOL
