    Last place to expect to see a kilt

    Mysticmead's wife has suggested getting a few...friends together and going someplace where kilts would be the last thing you'd expect to see... but having us all wear our kilts...I think it would be a fun way to start off a kilt night

    I thought that could be the subject of a whole new thread. Where is the last place you would expect to see a kilt?

    We can share our knowledge and show that it's already been done. Or, really go for it, and do it if hasn't been done.

    playing the pipes to penguins in Antarctica -- done
    modern combat zone -- done
    White House -- done

    That was my original list, I'm adding:

    running the bulls at Pamplona --- done

    I wouldn't be surprised seeing a kilt anywhere.

    OK, maybe the Royal Mile in Edinburgh out of tourist season (!)

    not really somewhere you would want to go for a kilt night. But the last place I would expect a kilt would be in a prison, mainly cause they have a dress code, but even if not, I wouldn't expect it a prisoner to choose to wear a kilt if he could due to the reaction or possible actions from fellow prisoners.

    On a more practical note, how about skating at an ice skating rink. I'm sure its been done, but it would be definitely different and not what people would expect. You guys might have to forgo going regimental or as least be careful.

    I was just watching a program on the discovery channel about the Ice Hotel in Sweeden. During the course of the show, the showed a bride and groom getting married and he is in the full PC. And, get this, the temperature in the hotel is 20F and when he walks out side with his bride it is -17f! BRRRRRR.

    Been there, done that. I didn't get quite that reaction though. All the ladies did seem to like it, and I must say it makes a lap dance very interesting.

    It's a nice courtesy to remove any kilt pin though. You don't want to stick anyone with it.

    I know for a fact they have been worn into (but maybe not in) a nudist colony.

    Well at least in the pre-op, they probably took it off after I was knocked out.

    Long story... let just say I fell and fractured my femur neck, and was
    taken to the trauma room at Mt. Sinai in Miami, had the kilt on for all the x-ray and stuff though.
