Grant's rant - SOKS

**ccga3359** · 20th March 08, 01:39 PM

This thread should be in the celebration forumas we are celebrating a year of kilt cavorting but NO! I have noticed that several members of SOKS are wearing blue ribbons pinned to their kilts especially McMurdo who appears to be sporting as much as a dozen. I would like to know why? Did I miss a meeting or delete a memo? I think not. We do not add gang colours to ourselves, we do carry on a uniform look, we celebrate individuality How dare you vote on this without informing and behind my back.

What even is the significance of these blue ribbons you are all wearing and yes, even you Robert. I noticed numerous pin pricks in your leather apron! We are SOKS. Southern Ontario Kilt Society our colours shoud be red & white not blue. You don't see me prancing all over the golden horshoe with a pretty little blue ribbon pinned to my kilt. Neither should any of you. This should have been discussed at our last meeting Gentlefiends.

Perhaps the blue ribbons signify the number of kilt checks each SOKS member has had in the past year.

Hmmm...maybe like the words to that old perennial favorite: "Lad, I don't know where you've been, but I see you've won first prize!"

Now now, that comment is a little below the belt!

Now, now, Grant - calm down; we're just wearing ... well, they're, er, eh ... they represent, um, what ... er, awareness. Yeah, that's it - awareness! We're obviously wearing them as awareness ribbons to show our support of various causes.
Besides, I haven't been wearing my blue ribbons to our SOKs nights.
I've been wearing my red ones.

When I'm in the Golden Horseshoe I remember to remove all blue ribbons from my kilt. Of late it has taken me about a half hour to do so but hey....I will soon have a new system on my kilts to make that job much easier...Thanks Grant
