Happy to be out of a kilt

[Graham]

Yes George, the snaps have their place.

I think quite seriously my concern is the times we are living in, in relation to schools. What I mean is...with the political correctness, paranoia about child abuse etc etc. there is more pressure to be careful about one's image and behaviour in schools.

I know I may sound extreme here, but an example is a good mate of mine, a young Christian man who was a teacher in a school who placed his hand on the shoulder of a student in a genuinely caring manner. He lost his job thru false accusations.

The world is mad.

So back to the kilt, it's a question of appropriateness in appearance, I may be wrong, maybe next time I'll wear a kilt, in fact I have done to that school several times.

I love the challenge of finding more and more places that a kilt can be worn.

Graham, they'd just start asking you for tools, like these women...

Sorry John can't seem to open that, but one of the tools I use is a sharp knife...not worth the risk

...You REALLY need to get a pair of shorts made out of tartan for these sorts of instances. They CAN be made to resemble a kilt VERY easily. In fact, they can be made to have all the accessories as Carhardt shorts or carpenter shorts. Now THAT would be a nice (albeit temporary) substitute.

(In an alternate universe...)

TAH-DAAAAH!... Presenting the launch of the all new tartan UTILI-CULOTTE! Available in a variety of fabrics, complete with lots of narrow crisp knife pleats (running in the traditional direction, of course), lots of hidden pockets for all your "guy stuff", and built in concealed snaps to hold the two halves together for that traditional look. Pleating to sett or stripe.

And for those who work on ladders... An optional draw string is available on each leg to draw the hem tight - pantaloon style. Ohhh what comfort... What style! Be at the cutting edge of fashion! Order one today!



Any takers?

wow, that utilikilts ad was...somethin' else. the epitome of cinematic excellence.

as for the school...i dunno, i think i'd go with the kilt because i'd find it amusing. then again, i'm seventeen and have to worry less about that sort of sexual harassment lawsuit!

[Graham]

Blu, whatever you're on....I want some too

Seamus, how did you get to view the clip? I use Firefox and it wouldn't show.

[Jewddha]

It just opened directly with my media player...

Windows media wouldn't work from the original site either.

Try going to http://www.utilikilts.com/
Click on "INTERACTIVE"
Click on "MOCK-U-MERCIAL"
Click ">next>" three times

Scroll down to "They Work" and choose the Quicktime Player link to play the video; That worked for me.

"The Breakup" is pretty good too.

[seamus]

ohh! they're not *real*. i get it. i'm sorry, i thought "breakup" was better. the car one was better. i didnt even really like "they work". thought it was overdone. my opinion, anyway.

[Iolaus]

Given the general focus of the vids (what's under the kilt), I think the car vid was the only one that might be even close to being suitable for mainstream TV.
