Amtrak "moon" festival

Sounds like a real "class act"....I hope the kilted participants wouldn't mind if I suggested that they not sully the image of the kilt by choosing some other garment to wear when they participate in this display of immaturity.

I gotta agree.

A few years ago we took a "rail cruise" on the Rocky Mountaineer from Banff, Alberta to Vancouver BC. It's a two day trip and you stop for the night in Kamloops. It seemed that the entire population of the town was lined up along the tracks to give us a "proper" welcome.

I was blinded by cellulite!

The 80's hit "Blinded me with Science" reworked to "Blinded me with Cellulite" would be interesting.

That group mentioned in the first post is retired Marine and a friend of mine Chris B. (not to be confused with Chris B of San Mateo and Belmont kilt/beer night though he swears to participate next year as he has a couple times past). They also fly the Saint Andrews cross from their base camp.
A fine group of individuals all I'd rank up with the Bay Area bunch, high regard from me.
We've been called "trashy losers" elsewhere online so "sullying the image of the kilt" isn't new to us. Should kilts be reserved for only what you deem prim and proper ? Go ahead and think so, I'm wearing my XMTS to this event next year. It's all in fun anyway.

What's not mentioned is Amtrak and Metrolink engineers "returning the favor" or "turning the other cheek", certain conductors that throw buscuits at those lining the fence, and passengers onboard dropping their drawers on the roll-by.
It's a piece of clothing, not a religious artifact.
You are of course intitled to your opinion.

Seems like quite a few people enjoyed the parody with the lyrics, "England's prim and proper, Scotland's depraved."

Maybe they liked the emphasis on "prim and proper" and missed the gist of the song.

I thought the song/performance was low, as I stated on that thread. I think mooning is low humour. But then, to quote two other songs, "I have friends in low places", and, me being diplomatic, "you'll take the high road, and I'll take the low road and" we'll eventually get to the same place together.

'Tis indeed low humour but actually secondary to the general atmosphere.
Amounts to maybe 5 minutes out of 5 hours if that.

Brings up a good point: everything has a context.

I wouldn't hold the same point of view if it was done as political protest to the Royal Train crossing Canada. As a lark, to people who seem to participate in the lark, that's a different thing altogether.
