    Frank, it thins the crowd and you meet a better class of women. In fact it seperates the women from the girls! Is this not true folks? Well so it appears to me.
    And you can basically wear it anywhere in any circumstance, from the pub to a coctail party or formal gathering. People are far more likely to accept the kilt as an exeption to any social rule of attire.
    And it makes you feel like the king, and in the imortal words of Mel Brooks, "It's good to be da king".

    Yeah, that's going to be the REALLY fun part! I've still got a long way to go in that area...

    That's easy -- simply show them all of the different tartans for non-Scots at:

    Ozmeath is right about the fact that it can be a casual or formal garment depending on the situation. This may sound like bad form to any of you who wear UK's but I've worn my black original in very contrasting situations. I've worn it both playing paintball and to my school's Homecoming. It wasn't exactly in that order but it did look good. So it is a very flexible article of clothing.

    Well, the day of reckoning is at hand! I SHOULD be giving my speech today but I'm not quite sure (should've given it yesterday but my teacher ended class early). Wish me the best of luck boys!
