    True that, Raphael! I've also seen 3 different UK's (I think) around in the past 2 months.

    Bear, me ol' pal, I am not suggesting for one moment that you would ever get out of your mind with the effects of the demon drink, especially on a bus, but are you telling us then that the Guinness glass beside you on the table, contains a dark lemonade? Or is it a Diet Coke?
    How did that get there? It's a frame up!
    As everyone knows, I'm an ascetic and deny myself all sorts of pleasurable things. That's why I'm so skinny!

    kilt sightings in Seattle

    There is one venue that seems to attract men in kilts. The Sunday market here in the Fremont neighborhood. A street by the waterfront is closed off. Tents are raised on the street to cover the merchants' goods. This morning was a bit chilly but sunny. I counted four men in Utilikilts (mine was in the laundry).

    Actually, this was the venue I had chosen for my first kilted public appearance, as I had noticed the occasional kilted man. Perhaps this is due to the funky, Bohemian ambience?

    That'll be this neighbourhood then:


    I remember 'Wild' Bill Guerts from Utilikilts driving Dave and me out there just to see this sign - to pay homage!!
