I mean really, I love them...a gathering of kilts and all. I just hate my clan. There are sooooo many **** holes in Clan Macdonald and today I met another of them.

I'm at the Arizona Highland Games, wearing my Macdonald Lord of the Isles Ancient Hunting tank hand sewn by Kathy's Kilts in Albuquerque. I love that tartan. Think I've had a necktie in it for over 30 years.

I wander over to the Clan Donald tent and some arrogant **** informs me that the Lord of the Isle has reserved that tartan for himself...well excuuuuse me **** hole!

Like its not in every tartan guide in books and on line. The mills crank out the tartan, far more than one man could ever use himself, and people buy it up because its a beautiful tartan.

My family came from Staffin Skye on the far north of the Island...we're Macdonald of the Isles...they kicked my great grandfather's off their land during the clearances and they came to Nova Scotia in the 1850s. I'll wear that tartan if I like. And I told the **** that.

But dang, why do I have to put up with such petty insanity from twits. First Highland Games I've gone to in many a year, just because of such attitudes...harrump...holier than thou...etc.

Went over to the Utilikilt tent, had a great time, and detoxed from the **** hole clansman...until the drive home...sometimes I'm just ashamed of my clan.
