    When people ask if I'm Scottish, I usually just say "a little bit" but sometimes, I like to use a fake accent, and totally bs them. And I make it a point to lie about everything, and see how big I can make those lies before they call me on it. Typically it ends when one of my friends notices what I'm doing and spoils my fun.

    Or, I like to respond in a different fake accent and say "No, Australian."

    Or if I'm in a slightly less silly mood, and the conversation goes beyond one question, I will explain that you don't have be Scottish, and point out that my great grandfather wore a kilt,and he was a black guy from Chicago.

    That's great! When I get asked if I'm Scottish, I say "I'm made in America with Scottish parts."

    Instead of getting into a pointless argument about whether a kilt is a skirt or not - and the really thick ones are never going to be convinced it is a man's garment anyway - why not: "The kilt is a skirt like a Ferrari F1 is a car"

    Or maybe that is too subtle too?

    Perhaps, but I like it !

    You know, most of the time when people say "nice skirt", it's more of a compliment; they just forgot the proper word "kilt".
    So I simply answer "Thank you." with a smile, and each goes his way.

    I had a lady ask when I was going to dress in drag again. This one kinda pissed me off.
    But keeping a level head I told P`og mo th`oin. She just looked at me with dumbest look on her face. So I translated it for her. "KISS MY ***"

    Yeah, I saw it somewhere. I just can't remember where, and I've been wanting to get it! Maybe I'll see it at one of the festivals I go to this summer.

    So anyways, last night I took my kids to a Colorado Rockies game. I wore my USAK Clergy, since it's close to Rockies colors. Some guy who had had wee bit too much to drink came over to me and slurred "Real men wear skirts!" It was obvious that it was all in good humor, so I retorted with my usual "Yeah, but intelligent ones..." line. He got a big laugh out of it, high fives all around and all that.

    ...and my wife a little jealous of all the early 20's girls flirting with me... Man, do I hate all the attention from hot young coeds...
