What they really say about us

[dutchy kilted]

Kilts - "edgy" for 3,000 years!

[Jordan]

I am well used to the normal questions but was contemplating having the following printed on a T shirt :-
It's a KILT not a skirt.
Yes it is comfortable to wear.
Yes I am Scottish.
No I do not play bagpipes.
Yes I have eaten haggis.
It is called a sporran.
I keep my cash and keys in it.
That's a knife called a sgian dubh.
YES it is legal to carry in the UK.
No I will not answer that question, it is a well kept secret.

It should save a bit of time and while any ladies are reading it I will be checking them out.

I had the same idea last winter. I remember one night it was at about -14 or so and I couldn't go ten feet without being stopped. I acctuky had a look at getting it done on a hoodie and the price wasn't that bad if I remember rightly

So yes- Any of you kilties out there who get ragged on too much, now hear this- If you cultivate a feeling of relaxed strength (read: he's comfortable in his own skin, he's probably a nice guy, but something tells me that he could just as easily kill me as look at me), folks will pick up on that, whether they know they are or not. That will keep the jerks at bay, while not scaring off the well-meaning populace.

...that's what I find, anyway.
There you go!

Haha... I have at times, been told I have a good "ANGRY" face. Admittedly, I can be a bit scary when I am mad. So if I can turn that angry to a bit of edgy, should play in my favor. Perhaps I should have left my hair longer. Though I cut it because I was being confused as a crazy homeless guy.... (Daughter describes me to her friends that I can look like Hagrid of Harry Potter)

I know of a local company that if you provide the shirt they will print something like that on it for around $5-10 depending on the size of lettering and whether you want it as single color or maybe different colors for each line. Can't imagine it would be too expensive anywhere that does screen printing work. I have only received one truly negative comment while kilted and that was someone that was upset because I had stopped his unwanted advances towards a female friend of mine. Have heard the skirt comment more than once but never by anyone brave enough to come do so close enough to discuss their opinion. May have something to do with whatever it is about my look that had one of my coworkers who recently saw me kilted remarking that I looked like a "bada**" in a kilt (though I will admit I'm not sure what that would be besides the simple fact that I am close to 6-5 and slightly over 220lbs). Receive the normal curious questions but I tend to enjoy the looks on some of the people's faces as they get the answer.

Sort of kind of seriously, a silkscreen can be made up relatively inexpensively and then blank shirts made up in quantity, with that set of, "answers to goofs' rude, stupid queries."

I am an occasional kilt wearer and unfortunately had the occasion to wear it last Friday to a funeral. As it was a late afternoon affair I went from there to meet my friends as usual for our 5 o'clock session at the pub. For reasons I won't go into we have changed pubs and most of the patrons had never seen me in a kilt before. In the main I was given a few glances but most took it for granted. My friends all commented on how smart I looked. This is in Yorkshire in England.

I almost bought that t-shirt in Franklin this morning. I did buy a nice used PC and waistcoat for a very good price, and of course some Irn-Bru

Ya, but you have all that manly yang about you, Hawk...
Some of us have to be more... water-like.

Fair enough, my friend. I'll make sure, then, that you also do not get thrown out!

Splish splash...

I think that there are those who wear the kilt to plead their {Scottishness}

I suggest that if you want to wear a kilt, just do so.

Never mind the boring why's or wherefores about clan crap.

I find this site very interesting.
