    Growing up in Scotland (Coatbridge, ya bass!), kilts were conspicuous by their absence.

    It is not the Scottish national costume, but that of the Highlanders (teuchters, or illiterate people who habitually marry their cousins).

    People from the Lowlands (the vast majority of the Scottish population, centering on the Glasgow-Edinburgh Corridor) wear Trews (think Levi 501's made of tartan) as their ancestral costume.

    Very few people choose to wear either, for the same reason few Italians wear togas or tunicas these days: it looks anachronistic.

    If you want to get in touch with your Scottish heritage, buy Irn-Bru* by the case and eat deep fried Mars Bars.

    SevenStar: It's hilarious seeing people's reactions when they see a big, black dude with a sword walking toward them.

    Masterkiller: Especially when they're at the ATM.

    WTF? How did we go from the White Haired Devil strangling and beating guys to death in a teahouse, to Mr Miyagi and Jhoon Rhee?

    I'm more of a fried double decker man myself, do take whiskey or vodka with your Irn-Bru.

    Irn-Bru should not be polluted with lesser beverages.

    Despite that, you've learned English very well.

    DJ, what the hell were you looking for when you dug this old thread up???

    Dale in a 'manskirt'?



    that's cool...be free, man...be free

    "George never did wake up. And, even all that talking didn't make death any easier...at least not for us. Maybe, in the end, all you can really hope for is that your last thought is a nice one...even if it's just about the taste of a nice cold beer."

    "If you find the right balance between desperation and fear you can make people believe anything"

    "Is enlightenment even possible? Or, did I drive by it like a missed exit?"

    It's simpler than you think.

    I could be completely wrong"

    I have a funny kilt story. When I was in college a girl that I was seeing at the time and I were partying it up with my best friend and his girlfriend. Before we went our separate ways we had agreed to meet at my place in the morning and then go out to breakfast. Well the time arrived and passed, we waited about 30 more minutes, they did not show or answer their phones, so figuring that they were still passed out from the festivities of the night before, we decided that we were going to go and roust them out of bed. So we get to my friends place and knock, no answer, knock again louder, still no answer, so I check the door and find it unlocked. We knew they were there because their cars were in the drive so my coniving little brain quickly formulates a plan. We go in, and head for the bedroom, the door is closed and we could hear snoring coming from the room. So all of a sudden we rush in, flick on the lights, screaming at the top of our lungs. My friend and his girl almost hit the cieling they jumped up so fast, when he lands, there he is, dressed like a little school girl, with a plaid skirt, white socks, and a white oxford unbuttoned and tied in a little knot at the bottom. We were laughing so hard I almost ****ed my pants. I asked him, what the f@!$k are you wearing? And he says, what do you mean what am I wearing, I'm wearing a f@#$!*g kilt!
    I will never forget that the rest of my life, it was so funny.
