A "Bookish" experience

[Rick]

Last Friday I was dressed in a Kinloch-Anderson Breacan kilt whilst shopping at the local big box book store. The architecture section where this 40 year old kilted poster was browsing was flanked by two twenty something guys to my right and three twenty something ladies to my left. All of the ladies were in skirts. Need I say that all of the guys where in jeans. One of the ladies then approached me and said: "Excuse me sir, but I am dying to take your picture, or at least a picture of the bottom half." I agreed to a full photo. Then the other two ladies came up and said how great the kilt was. Finally one gave me a huge hug. When this was all over, I noted that the two guys to my right had fled. One can only wonder if they got the picture.

Oh yes Rick, the seductive powers of the kilt can turn many a guy to running away with their tail between their legs. Well done.

Yes - if you have a choice between a kilt guyor one in jeans the kilted one wins hand over fist.

I'm guessing you're an Irish fan (location)... Does ND have its own tartan?

I went to graduate school at the University of Notre Dame. The "Irish Guard" wear kilts in Notre Dame Plaid, which is supposed to be registered. It is blue, gold, and green. I have not been able to find a good illustration of it, however.

I'm going into our local independent bookstore tomorrow. It'll be the first time, kilted.

HA! We shall just SEE.
