Best Response

[GMan]

Hell-o all,

What has been the best response to your kilt wearing in the last 7 days?

I was at a local mall last night and heard a voice in the background loudly stating, "Dude, you got one Rockin' Kilt, love it"

I have not been kilted in public in the last seven days.

After Saturday, and a round of xmas shopping and dinner before the kilt night, I may have some material for you.

At Dickens on the Strand, one of the beer venders was an Irishman, complimented my kilt and gave me a free Guinness!

My best response lately was yesterday at a lumber yard. I use homasote board as a work surface when I'm making Tiffany style copper-foil flat panels in stained glass, and since that is also the most commonly learned method I regularly buy boards for my students.

Well, the lumber yard I go to has just had a very large number of new hires and they saw me for the first time yesterday. They all went wild over the kilt. Here was a bunch of the manliest looking guys you could imagine, many either former construction workers or contractors, and they all thought my kilt was just the greatest thing since sliced bread. I wound spending about 40 minutes more than I had to there just talking with them about kilts.

Had a great time.

Last saturday.

As the fam. & I were walking into Wal Mart an older couple (perhaps mid 40's) were walking up behind us. The man went around us on my GF's side but his wife split away & came around my side.
As she came-up next to me she slowed down, leaning shoulder to shoulder against me & said "ooooooooh now there's my Scot".
I politely said thank you, then she hurried to catch back up to her husband.

My other half got quite the kick out of that one. And I have to admit it was kinda fun being flirted with.

Well, within 7 days would be last Friday. My history professor, who has been telling me all semester how much she loves the kilt, added another comment. I was late for class (on the day of our final) and ended up having to find her in her office to get the final from her.

I walk in, and she looks at her secretary (before saying anything to me) and says "See Barbara, this is my guy in the kilt here!" and grinned real big I got the test, and after finishing it up, took it back in to her office. She looked at Barbara again, and said "you know, all semester long I haven't had the guts to just reach over and pull it up yet!"

I thought I was going to have to run for the door at that point





Last Wednesday though (yes I know it's out of the 7 days, but I've only worn one twice in the past week and a half) I wore a kilt to class. There was a small group of giggling girls outside one of the buildings. I assumed they were giggling at the kilt, as I had noticed they were watching me walk up.

However, when I got to where they were, they gushed on and on about the kilt, and one asked to take a picture. They enjoyed it overall, and of course that made my day a little better.
