wearing the kilt backward

[haukehaien]

But did he have a sword? It only counts if he had a sword. Or a big rock. If he had a big rock, I'll give him some points.

Was it a tartan table cloth?

I guess you could call it tartan, but I would call it more of a plaid cloth, similar to what you might see in a flannel shirt. I tried not to stare, but I it seemed to me to be more of two or three color combination, and mostly red. I totally missed the word table in your question. No I don't think it was a table cloth. It was more like someone had bought a piece of material and wrapped it like a skirt. Kiltedmanxman's comment about "a makeshift Sarong" seems more appropiate. I'm beginning to think Highland games and festivals should have a manditory class for novice kilt wearers. I know that my wearing of the kilt isn't perfect, but it's a darn sight better than that. I wonder if Hank would mind if I made up some simple XMARKS cards to hand out to people like that so "WE" can educate them online.

[Mr. Kilt]

I saw a couple of guys at the Calgary games last month that could have used some "enlightenment". I wasn't in a position to get any pics discreetly, but one guy was definitely wandering around in a woman's pleated skirt. It looked fairly kilt-like, but the pleats weren't deep and it wrapped the wrong way. I suppose to the average citizen it looked fine, but when surrounded by a few hundred "proper" kilts it kind of stood out.

I seem to remember Hank posting on another thread that he wouldn't mind XMarks business cards being made/used to promote the site for others. Of course "within reason" rules would apply, I presume.

Do not make fun of these people, they are trying. Give them credit for that much at least.

I was, before I found the zen of X-Marks, just as bad a few months ago, and yes except for a few lucky enough to be raised in a kilt, so were we all.

I was flooded out by Katrina and I am now going through my old stuff, guess what? I find that I have a lot things that I will be, in the future, NOT wearing in public again because I now know better. Didn't when I bought it, do now.

Take these young men aside and slip them a card with X-Marks URL on it.

[Freedomlover]

Ah, yes, but these gentlemen were not wearing two legged misery, were they?

It's a start, and I think it takes some special kind of nerve to pull it off.

Aye Sir Robert,

We can approach the backwards kilters with the same compassion we'd show a bifurcated friend with his fly open.

[KiltedManxman]

You guys are right. I am convicted by your comments about my lack of compassion. I am certainly not qualified to judge anyone in such matters. My apologies to everyone here and to the brave lads who have done their best in wearing the kilt. I stand corrected and ask your forgiveness.

Sir Robert,

Your wisdom is insightful, and point well taken. I shall spread the wisdom that I have learned on this site as my contribution to their proper kilt wearing education.

Thank you again.

Ron

once again, you're brilliant.
