Comments on first time kilted

[craig]

About five years ago I started making bagpipes and a local TV station did a little story about them. A buddy of mine was making kilts and I asked him if I could borrow one just for a day. He said 'No, you gotta buy in to the whole kilt thing. No posers.' I said fine, and figured I'd buy one and return it Monday and get my money back. Even though my family was Scottish and my uncle wore a kilt when playing his pipes, I'd never thought of wearing a kilt. I thought they were silly.

So I wore it for the day, and it was incredibly comfortable. That night there was a party at Utilikilts that I went to. The next night I met a bunch of friends at a bar for a party in memory of a close friend who'd died a few months previous. The bartender couldn't keep her fingers off it, and a couple other girls kept reaching under it. I was married at the time, so I couldn't do anything, but I certainly had opportunity...

The next day was a Monday and I wore it to work. My guys gave me a little crap, but my customers thought it was cool (I had a boat business at the time). That night I went home and threw my pants in the dumpster and told my wife, 'I'm never wearing pants again!'

She left me two weeks later. It was for the best.

[by the way- I work at Utilikilts. I run the factory, and I don't have ANYTHING to do with UK's politics or customer relations. I just make kilts, and I love it. I'm here because I heard about you guys after the gun thing and I'm a dedicated kilt wearing, full-blooded Scot who's overly proud of it. Cheers.]

Man, if I had known that all I had to do to get rid of my ex-wife sooner was to wear a kilt, I'd had done it YEARS ago!

Everyone, repeat after me -

"I'm going to take note of Craig's disclaimer and I'm going to leave well enough alone. Mike will delete my message if I make any mention of or comments about said disclaimer."

Just keep repeating that and all will be well. Trust me.

Welcome to X Marks, Craig.

Welcome Home!

I still remember my first time out. I discovered that I had sweat glands in places that I never knew existed!

Do tell. My first time out kilted involved a lot of standing around in a stuffy, overheated theater. Rivulets of sweat trickling down both thighs... not the most comfortable feeling in the world. :rolleyes:

That's the first sensation I had to get used to when wearing the kilt. It's really a little weird the first time it happens.
