    have to share an experience I have while riding a roller coaster kilted last year at Great Adventers Night OUT.

    Had a grand time - saw few similarly garbed gents - i guess rural NJ is NOTthe most kilt friendly place...

    ANYWAY a bud & I - both kilted - head for the Medusa - a coaster where you are strapped in from above & your legs dangle free - the somewhat invasive seat made for some crushed pleats around teh back - and forced extra fabric towards teh front - creating the perfect wind catch. For the most part it wasnt that much of a problem - just flashing a lot of thigh & cooling breeze BUT when we got off the ride & headed toward the exit we looked up to be faced with the pictures that they had taken of each 'car' mid ride... I escaped with my modesty intact. He on the otehr hand was not so lucky with the vittles on show for all the world to see. Luckily the folks in the booth pedaling the pics were too busyt to pay that much attention to the contents of each snapshot - although they did have quizzical looks on thier faces when we burst into raucus laughter. We quickly grabbed copies of the pic (no i wll NOT post it here ) and beat a hasty retreat from the area before we got busted!

    Oh my gosh - I haven't thought about Great Adventure in years! I grew up in NJ and visited many times when I was a kid. I'm glad to know it's still in business.

    At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.
