Defending the Kilt

[Norbydog]

I went to a Colorado Rockies game with 3 of my buddies, and to their angst, I wore a kilt. For 4 hours (the trip to Denver) they made fun of me, and my kilt....the general ribbing you would expect.

After the game, as we were leaving the staduim, some guy shouted "You wore a kilt to a Rockies game?" One of my buddies came alive, and about got in a fist fight with the dude.

Surpirised me to say the least.

She believes that I'm wearing them out of some kind of mis-placed Peter Pan syndrome( Supposedly I don't want to "grow up"). Even though I'm 33 years old.... Ugh..

My mother made a similar comment to me once. Heck, she may even be a little bit correct. Maybe this is my mid-life crisis; I am 45.

But remember, we can't help growing old; it happens to everyone. But we never have to grow up.

Being with your friends is almost like being with family. They can pick on you all they want, but nobody else can.

While traveling to Berlin we stopped in Eindhoven, Holland. I went out kilted that evening after watching the first England match. We cleaned up at the hotel and walked across the street to a cool little restaurant.





You can see the hotel on the right side of the picture and that is where a guy and his girl were sitting when we walked out. He shouted "Scottish!" I gave him a wave. He wanted to know what was under the kilt. I told him i was regimental. He kept shouting and then dropping F-bombs (I'm pretty sure he was drunk). I replyed with the same and learned that sometimes its best to keep my mouth shut. I felt embarassed for yelling what I did, especially with the outdoor restaurant right across the street. Drunks are best avoided if they become obnoxtious. Lesson learned.

I will never forget one of the first nights I went kilted to a bar. I was with my wife and two of her female friends, not bad numbers if I do say so . When leaving the bar and walking amongst the drunks one idiot yelled nice skirt. Someone in the crowd, unknown by us, yelled at him its a kilt and he is with women and you are alone! Many other comments have been heard since but I will always remember that drunks face.

I once heard that your family you are born with,
your friends are the family that you choose for yourself!

If growing up means I have to stop enjoying life then the HECK with that concept!

I too have gone to the Rockies Kilted. Really no problems until after the games, especially if the Rockies lose.

My female friends and one of my male friends help in the crusade of the kilted ones!
