Something that Hamish wrote years ago that stuck in my head

[Alan H]

I would like to point out something in this picture.


1. It contains Hamish. Hamish. THE Hamish. Hamish the Kilted. Hamish the Kilt Collector, Hamish the sponsor of more kilted creations than any other single person. Hamish who knows all and is the ultimate authority of kilted style. Hamish, who does all that he can to assemble the most correct and most appropriate kilted "ensemble" for every situation. Hamish, who owns more kilts than anybody else in the world, and with it, more associated kit....pins, sporrans, jackets and so on...and who CERTAINLY owns a myriad assortment of kilt hose.

2. It contains two other fine gentlemen in kilts. One is a piper. Assuredly, none of the gentlemen in this photograph underwent the ultimate indignity of actually RENTING their kilt. They own the stuff.

-> And they're all wearing white socks.

So, go ahead, write it. Write it down, right here.... that Hamish.. THE HAMISH is a victim of "Kilt-Rental-Shop" mentality.....or worse, that THE HAMISH is a boring, style-less kilt-wearer. Tell us all how THE HAMISH is a cookie-cutter, bleached-socks poser who has been duped, though his own massive ignorance, into wearing a bland assortment of kilt-rental-castoff pseudo-finery.
