Do wear your kilt when you're retiring with style! (Note the limo's done up as police car.

)

I've never worn my kicker (cowboy) boots with the kilt, but at the sweltering Texas Scottish Festival in Arlington, I've worn my broad-brimmed straw (cowboy) hat and am not sorry. If it's not pouring rain there, the heat and sun are brutal.

This picture taken of Jonathan Papalbon of the Boston Red Sox. Kilt and jeans. Kilt DON'T

Kilt DON'T Be a celebrity on a float in a parade in downtown Boston in a kilt and jeans, Just Don't.
For those interested, most of the rest of the crowd on the float is the Drop Kick Murphys Celtic Punk Band. Crusty is a member of the band that does wear the kilt properly.

Kilt with pants.... Yikes! I saw that at Disney World a few years back. I about lost my cookies. I wanted to pull that kid aside and tell him to grow up.

From what I remember, it was an impromptu thing, he was given the kilt & t-shirt to put on minutes before the pic was taken..

But nun the less, kilts with pants on is never a good look... Even for the lasses!

This popular adulation of athletes is utterly unreasonable. No rational person can expect an athlete to set an admirable example at doing anything but his own sport.

Dude, I need to correspond with you, in re your previous post about the origin of the name "McGurk." Plus, the tartan search. (We have a family wedding coming up, and I am lobbying for the bride's uncles, my brothers, to wear something kilt-ish or tartan-like in solidarity with the kilt-wearing groom.)
