Mall question: Are You Scottish?

[Blu (Ontario)]

... This guy in the mall purposely stopped me and asked me if I was Scottish. I was wearing an olive green original Utilikilt... etc.

I was smiling to myself as I was reading through your post. It's clear from your previous threads that "Mall-ing" has become a mission of sorts for you. Since this endeavor is to enlighten the unwitting and kilt bereft public, a tactful and amiable approach best.

We-of-the-kilt have crossed into territory that a huge majority of men in the world would dare not venture. Twilight zone is no doubt what some would consider it.

As for utility kilts being confused for something Scottish... the only time personally I've seen them is at highland games or an organized pub gathering. So I'm not surprised others would make that connection. It's also clear that the majority of people that understand what a kilt is, connect it with Scotland and its men. No surprise there.

I'm not quite sure how you expect people to react to you on your kilted mall expeditions. But it's clear that you're having fun doing it.

What I should get is a T-shirt to wear with my kilts:

No, I am NOT Scottish
I just enjoy wearing Utilikiklts
Because they are SO comfortable!

However, I might need to gain some weight in order to fit all that printing on my chest and back so I guess I had better go back to having cherry turnovers for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I didn't really like being on a diet anyway.
