Kilted Threat

[bear]

Maybe there really was some other guy running around in a dress.


I turned to confront a guy once who had said to his buddy, "look at that fag in a dress!"
They were looking at an obvious transvestite across the street. Pumps, make up, summer dress, etc.
I went on my way thinking maybe the world doesn't revolve around me. I came to my senses later on.

Hmmm, remind me not to wear my Makabi River Skirt when I'm down in Tucson visiting the grandkids...

That's a classic Bear, when I hear people laughing I often assume they are laughing at me, again, such is not always the case.

I had that damned dress comment thown at me in a buffet line at a wedding on Friday night. I was kind of taken aback, seeing as my wife's family loves the kilt, and I'm frequently not the only kilted guy around them.

After recommending a beer to someone who was lamenting American laggars, some smart --- said "And that's coming from a guy in a dress!"

I just looked at the guy and stated (shaking my head and giving one of my "how could you be so ignorant" glares) "It's clearly NOT a dress."

The guy promptly shut up.

I'm glad it was her family, because having to behave kept me in line.

It is so rare to get negative comments.. but, I am 6'2" and 250#. Maybe people are just careful I don't hear them.

When walking into a Starbuck’s on Sunday, I had a guy obviously snickering at my kilt and before he could say anything his girlfriend yells out, "Oh my, that is soooo sexy! I love a man in a kilt!" She turned to her boyfriend and said, "I'll bet you aren't confident enough to wear a one, are you?" The smirk on his face was GONE in a flash and was replaced with a look of panic. He just stammered and mumbled something like, "I'm not Irish." She said, "I don't care!" I chipped in, "You don't have to be Scottish or Irish to wear a kilt.. it really is part of our American heritage.. but, she is right, you have to be pretty damned confident to wear a kilt, most guys just don’t have the balls. There are a lot of homophobes that stoop to calling a kilt a dress. I figure they are just showing their insecurity or ignorance, it is hard to tell which, probably both.”



Damn, she was really cute too.

IMNSHO, if you'd been of a mind, you could probably have walked out of Starbucks with that young lady on your arm if you'd made a little effort.

You know, I gave up my modeling career to wear a kilt...

I am the fifth one over on the process of evolution charts. Monobrow, sloped forehead, no neck, overbuilt muscular skeletal structure.

All I have to do is furrow my brow and give my best angry cro magnon or neanderthal look. It usually does the trick.
