how other fashionable males view about kilts

[davedove]

I finally looked at that forum. What a bunch of uneducated fools. But then I guess not everyone can be as intellectually inspired as we are.8-) I have never been fashion conscious, but I do try to look good.

I like my legs hairy, my beer cold, and my old comfy chair.

Then you'd be bitterly disappointed with the state of my legs: my knees are hairless and practically shiny from the abuses I've heaped on my body, and the resultant scar tissue.

Bryan...can we get a hairless knee exemption for the Retrosexual list? I promise I was acting stupidly when the injury(ies) occured...

The sauna was a joke. I got out long before I was supposed to because I just didn't like being that hot and humid.

Damn you foreigners don't understand the best things in life! :-D
When we keep the kilt meeting in Finland you should get ready for sauna in every night! ;)
(And don't forget snow baths and icy-water swimming...)

Yeah...I hear that that cooking in the sauna and then running out and jumping into a frozen lake is a good way to find out if you have any anuerisms that you don't know about.

The sauna is an inseperable part of Upper Michigan culture! (Of course, the only place with more Finns than the U.P. is Finland!) A friend of mine has the best sauna I've ever seen, though he says his neighbor's is better.

Steady on, Glen!!!!!!!!! Goose pimples are not very flattering!

Remember, there is a big difference between fashion and style. Styles tend to be around awhile but fashions change overnight and sometimes in some peculiar directions. The way we tend to wear our kilts isn't fashion, it's a style and I sure don't want to see kilts become a fashion because what'll develop will likely turn our stomachs.

Amen!

Now this is a highly entertaining thread! Especially loved the Retrosexual Code.

Now, if more baby boomers knew that code, there wouldn't be so many nancy boys out there who inhabit such boards as contained such lame opinions about the kilt.

"Dandy" is what I believe such males (I hesitate to use the word "men") were once called. They primp and tease and prance about like peacocks in mating season - completely unaware that peahens will discard them the instant a more colorful cock comes along.

The opinions there concern me not in the least. Nor do the opinions of any others who might deride the kilt. They "dress up" to go out on Friday night by wearing pre-washed, pre-dirtied, pre-stained, pre-ripped, pre-oiled jeans (i.e. ones that I would be embarassed to wear while doing an engine overhaul in my garage) they paid $250 for, pink striped satin shirts tailored for female figures (another $300), $300 shoes (hand-sewn on the thighs of Cuban virgins), and of course, some extremely feminine smelling cologne.

In fact, they wear whatever Madison Avenue tells them to wear. The key word in "slave to fashion" is SLAVE. And every one of them, without batting a curled eyelash, will tell you he's just showing his INDIVIDUALITY.

Just exactly, precisely, like everyone else.

So just who are the fools?

And just to sum it up, I would rather spend my drinking time with any of you hard-assed, Retrosexual, bearded, beer-and-scotch-drinking, kilted MEN, than even look at a nail-polished nancy. We'll go for a pint, and while the dandies bat their mascara-ed eyelashes at the lassies, said lassies can look over at us - and blush.

Prost!
