    Now, if it was in reference to the choicing of wearing a kilt, than yes I can see that point. We all choose to wear a kilt, but some of us do to honour our family heritage where as other do it because they look freakin' cool.
    Colin is right...even I look freakin' cool in a kilt!

    I'm of mixed feelings on this one. I like the motto proposed at the beginning of this thread but I'll have to think about the other proposals.
