Kilted in Carolina

[Dreadbelly]

I want so badly to have a Greenville Kilt night so I can get in on the action.

It'll never happen.

Nobody around where I live wears kilts. Lots of people claim to wear them, and I bump into the occasional St Andrew's member, but nobody actually wears kilts out in public as casual garmets. There has been a couple of guys wearing school girl skirts though, claiming them as kilts.

I feel so alone.

Awful lot of homophobes around here though that think wearing a skirt means you must be gay. Some of them chose to learn the hard way to leave me the hell alone.

Sharkey's downtown is a great pub. And there is Connoly's Irish Pub, but that is not a great place to go. To many drunken brawlers looking for a fight. I know the good places to go have a dinner though.

Greenville, NC or SC?

Because I know at least one guy in Greenville, NC that is likely on the fence about buying his first kilt, and will probably do so after being an eyewitness to a kilt night in Durham in October.

As stated already in this thread, South Khakilaki.

Never say never!
If we plan it out far enough out I would be able to make it.

I don't know if this will help, KW, but one of my favorite responses to the implication that wearing a kilt makes you gay is "Well, most of the gay folks I know wear pants." That will deflate a lot of those folks quickly.

Of course, admitting you know gay folks in some places doesn't help, so use that one at your own risk. You know better than I how things are in Greenville.

Now that's one that I will have to use!

Honestly I'm a little apprehensive about what it's going to be like when I move out to a rural part of NC, outside of Durham, where even driving a VW Jetta might be enough to tip off the locals to the fact that you're not "from around here".

I'm a big feller which has helped me to avoid a lot of confrontations in less-tolerant parts of the Philadelphia metro area, but them good ol' boys can be pretty ornery when they want to be.

Magnus, I am of gargantuan size my self... Look in the pic section around here. And yet, mayhap because they have a death wish, some of the local "Good ol Boys" still want to pick a fight with me.

I am usually forced to lay them low because they are to dumb to take a hint and go away.

Not all of the Carolinas are like that. Greenville in general is a very nice place to live. But on the weekends, when they have the street fests, free concerts, and such down town, all the hicks from the stix come into town and start serious trouble on occasion.
