I've heard it all now

So this afternoon I stop in to a Wal-Mart (I know I hate them too, but sometimes you just have to go there). I'm in line and the cashier says, "That's a cool looking kilt." I way thanks, and then she asks, "Are you a Druid?"

Just had to share.

We used to get that all the time in the old local Celtic Society because of the supposed association between "Celtic" culture and neo-paganism.

My personal favourite was the time I was at the Goderich Celtic Festival and heading up from the parking lot with my wife. Couple of yahoos drove by shouting, "Irish suck". We cracked up.

I hate it when some chickencrap coward does a drive by shouting.

Really makes me want to catch them somehow and pound them into a greasy spot on the pavement.

I like the tshirt with a pic of Stonehenge and the caption "Give me that olde tyme religion"

Sorta puts things in perspective.

At least half the people who've commented on my kilt have asked if I were Irish.

Just remember, the Irish saved Civilization. And the Scots spread it around the world, often at bayonet point.

So Adam, you really gave me a good laugh, I never heard that one before!

I have in fact attended Druid rituals within the Stonehenge circle-and worn the kilt to and from the event-though donning a white robe for the actual occasion-as a courtesy to the actual Druids.

Quite funny, for I was emerging from the lavatory-a bit apart from others so dressed, and there was a coachload of American tourists--well it said aso on the coach. Anyway the look on their faces at seeing a chap in a 'white dress/robe' emerging from the lavatory was quite a sight!

Then a braver member of the group asked why I was dressed in such a way-and the relief on his face when I told him that it was in respect of a Druid ritual was a sight to see. To then I think he'd been recalling everything bad he'd ever heard about us Brits-worse than that!

I also attended one this year at Stonehenge for the summer solstice, and there was an amazing German pipe and drum band-playing the traditional doodlesac and dressed in the most exotic attire-leather skirts and the like-great fun.

The only problem with wearing the kilt to a British tourist attraction-is brushing off the crowds of camera happy Japanese tourists.
