Today, I brought home pizza from Little Caesars today, and my son looked at the guy and pointed, and I told him the guy was a Roman, and is wearing a Toga. As far as his 4 year old mind can put together, it must look like a funny kilt to him.

Which leads to a handful of questions, such as, does anyone still wear the toga, in the US at any rate, or does it only live on for frat parties. (Which may well be the closest to the values of those Romans...)

I have on a book shelf here an old Hot Rod Roddy Piper action figure, though no pleats so to speak, it has two ridges that resemble the buckles on the side where there would be two buckles, though none on the other side.

It all makes me think, how do kilts and other related garments figure today in the world as compared to 10 or 20 years ago. When I was a kid, there was Roddy Piper wrestling, and we had a Little Caesars, and Groundskeeper Willy came about...

But now, we still have Willy (Just realized my 5th time at least through the Simpsons movie that he is in just a kilt for his final on screen time) as well as Mung Daal from Chowder, at least 2 WWF wrestlers (or whatever that company calls itself now) and kilts randomly in various cartoons for quick moments. But I was just a child 20 years back, perhaps someone with a few more years on me can give an opinion on the matter, are kilts more normal on tv and in culture than 10 or 20 years ago, or could it just be a random artifact of Bravehart/Rob Roy? And does 50 years of the pantless Little Caesar make our lives easier to be kilted, or is he just an ignorable figment of advertising?
