Best. T-Shirt. Ever.
So I'm in Dover, DE for training, and they let us out for our lunch. They give us an hour and a half, and since I cant imagine any person eating that slow, I spend some time exploring the nearby area, and end up in a Target. Having never been in said place of business, I decide to venture in. I see the typical misc. store things, and then wander over to the T-shirt department.
Like your man Indiana Jones, I found an item of incredible power. A T-shirt, grey in colour, that will forever silence the question, nae the bane of a kilted man's existance, the inquiry of underneath the kilt.
All it had were these two words:
"No Underwear"
I couldnt stop laughing. I had to buy it, and in my head I kept thinking:
Buying a kilt: 200.00
T-shirt saying "No underware": 9.99
Letting your fashion do the talking: Priceless
Will post pictures later on tonight when I'm done with theatre practice.

Lol, I've been drafted into helping out with a production of My Fair Lady, a show that started rehersals about 2 months ago, and we open begining of May. No pressure though, really :P I have basic filler parts (Lord Boxington amoung others), but its more for the exposure to this group, as I have acted with other groups in the past, but you always have to work into new ones. 'Course, they are doing MacBeth in the fall, so I hope to win my way into another Shakespearian lead, having played Lucius Andronicus in Titus. The fact that I show up kilted to a variety of events is just coincidence... really.
For one of the practices, I'll probably wear the No Underware shirt, just to say I could
- Dec, who's still grinding away at work 10 hours later....

Never mention the name of MacBeth in the theater! It's bad luck! It's called "that Scottish play"

or the M play, or a myriad of other names, at least observe appropriate traditions after having said it, we fear for you

Oh, I'm aware of the traditions. Thus why i said it from the safety of my desk rather than anywhere within 10 miles of my stage... I've seen it destroy my share of productions. Don;t need more of that, thank you very much.

The Scottish Play...
My father was an amateur Shakespearean actor when I was growing up, so I was quite aware of the curse of "the Scottish play" and how superstitious actors can be regarding the play's reputation. Dad always had a St. Genesius medal sewn into all of his costumes (St. Genesius is the patron saint of actors) for good measure.
For those not familiar with the curse of "the Scottish play", here are a couple of articles:
