    You must have a blast if you teach English Lit and you get to MacBeth...

    ..."And now for my particular favorite play of Shakespeare's..."

    My daughter's class is scheduled to go to a local art center to see a touring production of "the Scottish Play" in a couple of weeks and I checked the box on the permission slip: "Yes, I am available to chaperone"...I have a feeling that they'll pass over me because the KNOW that I'm going to be showing up in a kilt if I go on that one! The weirdness is that I'd be outdressing the cast of the play...it seems from the production shots that it's a "punk-goth-leather" version of MacBeth...Shakespeare meets the Sex Pistols...perhaps the actors wanted to wear their street clothes...

    Thumbs up

    Great pic. Being able to work kilted is what we all need to do when possible.

    Great picture, Porrick, the kilt really suits you and gives you an air of authority.

    Well, I guess so - it's just that I have never even thought of the possibility that I can not wear what I want to work...

    I'm sure I would be sent to the Dean's Office if I wore a piece of clothing promoting profanities and indecencies, but other than that it is up to the discretion of the employees. One of my favourite, comfortable garments is a black and white Guinness fleece sweatshirt...

    There isn't even an issue with the Sgian Dubh (!)

    Thanks to feedback on the issue, I will now be able to appreciate things I have always taken for granted.

    Great classroom picture, and you look outstanding kilted. This photo should be shown to every school board in the US. Instructor wearing kilt = students paying attention + learning.
