    Red face Gerard Butler

    A girl at work e-mailed me a link to a web site with the topic line of “Order me one.” I clicked on it & it was a long page of pictures of Gerard Butler in what looked like a leather Utilikilt. I hit the my internal phone system button to instantly connect with her & said “Those leather kilts are expensive! Are you nuts? I can’t bring in one of those even through the Special Orders Department.” Now while I am saying this I am slowly scrolling through the pictures. She responds “ I don’t want the kilt, dummy. I want what’s IN that kilt.” About this time I get to a pic of him holding a claymore. I exclaim “Dang! look at the size of that guys claymore. She laughs. I don’t really take notice. She asks “How does that compare to your claymore, David?” I respond “I don’t have a claymore.” She busts out laughing …. THEN it hits me. All I could say was “OK you got me.”

    Funny.
    I've seen those pictures I think they were from a dressed to kilt event a few years ago, and the kilt I believe is from TFCK

    Correct on one point Glen but, alas, not on the other!

    Yes, the event was the 'Dressed to Kilt' fashion show in NYC, on Tartan Day two years ago.

    No, it was not a TFCK creation, although most were in that show, but a somewhat rare brown leather Utilikilt.

    I'm pretty sure my wife has more than a little crush on him. Ah, if I could just speak with a brogue...
