I had an odd experience the other day.

I had to go to a formal dinner (black tie) and decided to wear my kilt instead of my tux as I hate tux's and find the kilt to be a little more comfortable (not to mention that I think they look better).

After the dinner, when people stand around and are supposed to be talking as though they actually had something interesting to say, I noticed three men looking and laughing at me. More out of boredom than actually taking offence to them I approached them and asked them if there was a problem that I could help them out with.

The immediate response from one of guys was, "nice dress, you gay?" to which a an elderly woman who is an aquatance of mine quickly responded, "no he's not, but you just insulted a seven foot (I'm actually only 6'9" but I let it slide) scottish man with a knife (actually called a skien dubh) in his sock, which begs me to ask you...are you an idiot?".

That aside I asked the guy what the big deal was and why he was so concerned with the way I dressed, he reponded that he took offense to gays and what was my problem?

My question to you all is a two parter.

1./ Does anyone else run into complete tools such as these in their everyday life?

2./ Is a dude in a Kilt that big of deal?

3./ Is your life so empty, that the fashion tastes and choices of others plague your mind and upset your every day life?

Well, hard to believe, but we really don't run into many people in kilts in the farming town I work in. Hell, most of the chicks wear blue jeans.

Which leads me to my next question...

Dude, you're really 6 foot nine??!?!?!?!?

Next pickup basketball game, I've got dibs on you, KD!

I might understand their actions a bit more if this had happened in a rural area, but this happened in Downtown Toronto.

Yep, though most members on KMC that know me are aware of this. I actually thought you knew it too.

1. It's unavoidable.

2. It's unusual, which is a bit much for most people.

3. I imagine the 'you' there is for the offending parties and those of similar sensibilities, so I would have to say yes.

There aren't many things more annoying than people whose existences are so devoid of interest that they feel the need to concern themselves with what other people are doing, when it affects them in no way at all.

Yeah, I wouldn't have expected that in Toronto. Remember that not everybody is the same in each area, just because the area is generally classified as being condusive to a certain lifestyle.

No, I didn't know about the height (must have missed that thread b/c I've known you for a while now...BUT...I could tell you Britney Spear's 4th single off her 2nd album , thanks to KMC).

That was a good line from your friend.

1. Yes, I have to work with a few of them.
2. No, Kilts are cool.
3. No, I'm lucky if I have the same color socks on.

But guys knees are weird.......

see kilts a lot here, a lot of Scots work here and here they got attention in a very psoitive way.

1. Yep, everyday at work.

2. Not really, but it can be an odd spectacle, depending on the setting.

3. No

I never see anyone in kilts. Though saw a televised wedding, and that was kinda neat.

the kilt had nothing to do with it.
the guy just didnt like you and felt like picking a fight with because:

1-he felt secure that he had his friends to back him up

or

2-he's a 6th degree blackbelt and felt like using you as a test of skill

1 Yeah, every day. Someof them are on this site, and some of them are in the real world.

2 No. When the highland games would roll around my friends and I would see guys in kilts all over the place. Also, when I would attend black tie events for work, there was usually one or two guys in kilts. But, many of our employees were European.

3 My life is not so empty. However, I have always been of the opinion that a lot of drag queens had empty lives.

Are you talking about the Highland Games in Western North Carolina when you lived here? I've always wanted to go to those games, but never got around to it when July rolled around.

There is a guy here at were I work who on some occasions will wear lederhosen. Now that is strange.

Yeah, I never went to them myself, but my friend Eric went every year.

1.People can wear what they want IMO, makes things more interesting.

2.Yep I meet total dicks like that all the time.


3. I think some Jocks have gotten a bit big headed and daft since the "Highlander" film. Think they are something special.
Kilts actually originated in Ireland, same as whisky, and Bagpipes. I guess Jocks are just offsping of lost Irish fishermen.

omg, people are such idiots!!!!!!!!

Kilts are sexy, not to mention convenient!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mmmmmm.......Braveheart...

Sheewww...Mel Gibson

mel gibson fan taking offence? well my apologies


but i still hope he croaks, far sooner than me so that i may enjoy
a world free of mel gibson.

being Scottish, the Kilt isn't all that uncommon...most formal functions give a good reason to wear one

i'm cant remember which part of the world you're from kharmaDog but all i know is that i've always had a positive response while wearing a kilt in anothe country

did the guy actually know your sexuality?...if he did then i'm guessing he was just being a dick about that...if not...then he's just a dick probably most of the time

I'm in Scotland but people still snigger when a person wears a kilt. Unless it's at a wedding.

We see more people here in Indian garb, more then kilts.......Still, guys knees?????

Look at it this way, you walk down the high street in a kilt at night and you'll be killed by an army of NEDs.

Any man who wears a kilt is obviously gay..and the guy who makes fun of him for wearing the kilt is gay too.

No, Polynesian men wear palea's, which are also skirt-like. Unlike kilts, paleas are intended for casual use and not only for special occasions.

I have yet to see somebody who has the balls to talk shit to an Island Braddah who's the size of a refrigerator cuz one of us is wearin' a "skirt"

Actually thats a picture.

I really don't see the problem with those things, had one on just a few days ago during Carnaval, where you have to be dressed up in something stupid to be allowed into bars.

I wore a kilt at a friends wedding in Wales. It was Prince of Wales check. The Irish and Welsh also have kilts it's not just a scottish thing!

No-one said it was...

1) Morons are everywhere. Look at these boards, for example. Also, just yesterday I took the lift down with another lady. When we reached the ground floor, I pressed the button to hold the door while she got out, then, before I had chance to leave the lift, some other woman started making her way in leaving no space for me to step out. I looked at her and said scornfully: "Excuse me". Ahh, it is a little thing, but the idiocy of some people always annoys me. Not to mention suspect manners...

2) Of course not. On a side-note, when you wear a kilt, do you really not wear underwear, or is that just a silly myth?

3) I really don't give a f*ck, but my girlfriend does. Yesterday, we went to the city for dinner and she gave me a running commentary about every girl's dress sense. Some were 'b*tches', some were 'nice', some were 'stupid' and some received the remark "Does she think she's going to a club or something?". I've noticed all the girls here check each other out rather than guys! They give each head to toe looks just to see what the other is wearing! Anyway, on the way back to my apartment, she told me this intelligent insight: "I think all the girls who don't have boys walking with them dress better than the ones with their boyfriends". Sometimes I just space out when she starts a monologue, but occasionally she realises this and then questions me on what she just said. OK, that's enough from me.
