Red Necks Like Kilts Too

[Jerry]

[QUOTE=Woodsheal]Well, I'm a redneck (if by that you mean rural dwelling, gun owning, deer hunting, beer drinking, truck owning American male) and I like kilts plenty! In fact, I think that type of fellow would be more inclined to the manly garment, the kilt, than your typical feminized Zinfandel-sipping city-dwelling metrosexual.

See, we can all stereotype...!/QUOTE]

I are one too! Jeff Foxworthy defines Redneck as a "glorious lack of sophistication"

I resemble that remark. Your forgot Country music listening, especially old style like Hank Sr and Johnny Cash.

Well, I was out all day last week-end without a proper hat and my neck got REAL red. Does that count?

I'm off work today, eating up some "use or lose" vacation days.

Remember now, I live in a very remote town of 6,800 in far northern Arizona. Its 135 miles to the closest city - Flagstaff.

Checking out at the supermarket a local redneck girl and her boyfriend get in line behind me. I'm wearing my chocolate UK workman's. She says she likes that kilt best of all, that she sees me wearing my other kilts, but that this one is her favorite. Okay, thank her politely. Boyfriend seems okay with it.

A few minutes later I'm stopped for gas and while I'm pumping a redneck guy in a beat up pick up steps around the pump to ask me all kinds of serious questions about my kilt. Give him a bunch of info and websites. He's stoked. Apparently he's some sort of metal worker that makes chain mail or something...he's both wanting to buy, or wanting to try making, his own kilt.

And, he claims there's another kilt wearer in town who wears tartan kilts. Try to explain that its probably just me, but he says no, its really another guy...

Jeez, a looming kilt night in little ol' Page, Arizona.....now that's fashion penetration folks.

Is there somewhere in town big enough to hold a kilt night

We're a small town of 6,800 but we do have a LOT of bars, two with dance floors and one with a small bowling alley.

Trouble is, I'm the guy in town who does all the DUI, probation, and parole treatment for alcoholics and addicts....when I go to a local bar to dance a bunch of the patrons slink out. I tell them it ain't necessary, I'm not their parole/probation officer...they freak out anyway.

But a kilt night is certainly possible in li'l ol' Page, Arizona.

The bar owners would probably appreciate it if you brought some customers in with you rather than just frightening all the others out.

But Ron, you represent The Man. And we all know how The Man always comes down on those who only want to enjoy themselves.

[Riverkilt]

Well, I never go to a bar alone, always with a group, and usually a large group.

If them folks think I represent The Man they haven't been paying attention. I help them get out from under The Man.

Last time I represented The Man was as a kid cop in the late 1960s. Gave up my law enforcement career ambitions after the MLK riots.

But think I understand what you both mean, and I don't go dancing that often...but I'm not gonna limit my fun because my presence might freak out someone on parole or probation.

The terms of their parole/probation prohibits them from being in bars or anywhere alcohol is served. They signed that agreement with their judge in exchange for being given parole/probation instead of time inside. Their right to confidentiality prevents me from dropping a dime on them even if I was so inclined. And I'm not.

See, there's a nice thing about a big city....none of the "everyone knows everything" worries of a small town.
