    With all the talk about Wicker Man and Burning Man and such recently, perhaps it's time for us to have our own festival:

    BURNING PANTS!

    We can build a big steel pants-shaped structure and hang our pants on them, or if we get too many we can just toss them inside the structure. There'll be Highland games, a pub, and any number of kilt-related activities going on, and then on Day 3 or whatever we'll light up the pants and all stand around marvelling at the burning wonder. I'm sure we could find a few bands to come and play...

    yes, the Kilt gods demand the burning of the pants. I saw a group of pant-wearers today. They all looked rather uncomfortable, but did not seem to know why. That is a sign that the pants should be burned as soon as possible, to prevent further uncomfortableness!!!

    hmm...that would be fantastic!!! we can get even more participation by working with the people from no pants day. We only need a place with a wide-open space, lax clothing laws and a lot of water!!!

    and the day after the pants are all burned up, we can put a huge kilt on the steel structure!!! with an 8 yarder called a "tank", what would you call an 80-yard kilt??

    Brilliant! What a great way to promote kilt wearing. I think that maybe Burning Pants should be held the day before or the day after No Pants Day.
