SOKS Kilt Night Feb. 20th

[McMurdo]

Well last night we went out for a kilt night in Oakville. It was decided to go somewhere new as they are getting tired of us everywhere else . So we started the night at the King's Arms. Never having been there before, I have to say I found the waitresses to be very nice and the food to be good, I had the Noting Hill Curry Chicken, hot, and all was good with the world. David who was there with me had the same but in medium and seemed to enjoy it. When Dick and "Wee Stumpy Nate" showed up Dick got the same dish and also got the hot. The service was good, and a few of the patrons had to come up and ask us about the kilts, nothing new there.










After a time and because Nate had forgotten his ID at home, we decided to go to the Moonshine Cafe. Now the Moonshine holds a special place in the heart of all SOKS who have been around for a while, for this was the spot for our first kilt night. When we got there it was crowded and loud, we then decided to make our way back to the Queen's Head, would we drive the one kilometer? No not us hearty stock, although the temperature was a chilly -10 degrees celcius.

Thankfully we found a roaring fire upon entering the Queen's Head in in a few minutes we could feel our knees again, one of the patrons again had to make a few comments and ask a few questions, but there are strength in numbers, so "wee Jimmy" as we were calling him did not stay long.





After a time in the Queens Head it was the long walk back to the Moonshine Cafe and our vehicles, I kept warm by regaling my comrades with the works of Robert Burns, much to the enjoyment of a couple in a nearby parking lot. All in all it was another great night with friends, and the Cohiba's direct from Cuba that David was handing out did not hurt either, thanks again David.

I think we should visit the Kings Arms again it was a nice wee place with a great atmosphere.

Cohibas? Direct from Cuba? McMurdo, you gotta let me know when you and the lads are going out again. Because of an antiquated foreign policy toward Cuba I can only dream and drool about such stuff those cigars are made of. OMG!

You have to let me know when you are coming up here for some of our wonderful fishing, I'll be sure to have a Cohiba ready for you, and a kilt night. BTW Cuban Cohibas really are nothing new for us here .

Good food and good friends, sounds like a fine time.

Glen, I'm envious as well. I have a few Cohibas in my humidor. However, I have to enjoy them sparingly, since I have to rely on friends overseas who bring a few with them on their yearly trips back to the States.

A great night it was! Wee Stumpy Nate and I rolled back into Dodge at 2am... both had early morning starts ahead. It was great to have David and Glen to chat with again. The crew at both establishments were excellent. We will have to convene another Moonshine Cafe Kilt Night when Nate plays there this spring.

We were all wondering where Ol' Spindle Shanks got to...

looks like a great time

The embargo needs to be lifted to stimulate the economy so I might be able to legally enjoy a good Cuban cigar and a trip for me to visit the famous McMurdo just might be in order, and by the way that WPG Gordon kilt looks great, I received mine last week and have yet to try it on but I am sure that it will fit like a glove as this is the second one as the first kilt was a tad too big.

You guys look great, cold and all.
