Another new one on me

nice story....

why do you spell kilt with a c?

[bubba]

Cilt is the Welsh spelling of kilt

[auld argonian]

Odd... I was at a function the other night and someone aked if I was wearing a kilt because I lost a bet....I suppose that that was supposed to be funny....we were, however, not amused.

At an event the previous night (it's been a heavily kilted weekend) the organizer strolled by and told us that the presentation was about to begin and that we should find seats...and then proceeded to "quip" directly to me, "...and if you try to kiss me, I'll slug you." I thought that it would be unmannerly for me to get into a verbal "exchange" with the host of the evening so I simply said, "Not gonna happen, Will...you have my word."

...and these are some of the so-called art and architecture circle in this town...

Derek, you seem to be in a much "kinder and gentler" country...if I may appropriate the words of Ol' Man Bush.

By "quip" do you mean jokingly? If so, I think I would've started making kissy sounds at him, just to be contrary.

Auld, sorry to hear that your experiences this weekend were less than stellar, but glad that they were kilted. Good luck and we must get a Chicago kilt night going, maybe in the new year.

Derek,

You always seem to have the right thing to say, well done!

Auld Argonian,

Even in "art circles" some people do not have any class.

Never, ever, go to an art circle function and expect civility. It's claws out time. Went to a refurbished opera house last summer, with all "the music fans", supposed hardcore, to see Wanda Jackson, the Queen. People were talking through her singing and chat. Even the review of the concert noted it. It's their show and how dare you enter it.

That's all from a life time of these events. You're very brave to go kilted to such an event, no wonder they tried to put you down.
