w2f is a very talented (through modest) kiltmaker, what better tool to have readily at hand?

Cheers

Nice. Guess I'm going to have to wear mine to my next opera at College Station, TX - or maybe Houston. Well, at least when I get my kilt.

I am so happy that you had a very positive experience at the Opera, but how could you all not looking as sharp as the three of you did.
Glad you had fun,
Sara

Then in that case a fun kilt pin for him would be a large sewing needle.

... scissors for a sgian dubh... interesting.

It is the perfect way to get around the matriarchal dictum, "Never run with scissors!" Besides, poor kiltmakers from rural areas can't afford all the fancy trappings, especially after springing for the kilt and the culture night at the opera.

Bartering (the unofficial currency of XMTS) is a wonderful thing, and I profusely thank Panache and his lovely wife, the Flame-Haired, Blood-Thirsty, Celtic Amazon Goddess, for the opportunity to trade some kiltmaking labor for a ticket to Verdi's "Scottish Opera." Shakespeare's tale of power lust, murder, and their consequences was exquisitely portrayed through the staging symbols, the talented acting, and the vocal and orchestral music.


In reflecting on the experience, one bifurcated question pressed to the fore: Are all Celtic goddesses blood-thirsty? or, Did the F-H.C.A.G. lose her descriptor to (or pick up the torch from) the Lady MacBeth?
