Rooster Feathers

[Bugbear]

Here's the deal. I wear a solid color kilt a lot, not that roosters can't have colorful tails, but... Also, I think she was thinking of the way the pleats fold a little on the side when you sit down looking a little like a rooster's tail. She has called them peacock feathers a couple of times, but thought rooster feathers sounds better. Guess turkey feathers would work too. Oh, and we were decorating my kitchen with roosters when she started saying that.

It's the way of nature. Among a lot of species, especially birds, the males are the colorful ones. Why shouldn't we be the same? I call wearing a bright tartan "getting in touch with my inner peacock."

Yes, that is true. Also, in our culture women wear "make-up, but in a lot of cultures men "face paint." We're all just a bunch of birds.

Dave,

The lovely F-H.C.A.G. would probably argue that I don't have an "inner peacock".
