    Woohoo! We'll go with this date for now.

    All hands, don yer kilts and fall in for inspection. We'll count on Regimental Sgt. Maj. Panache to bring his mirrored walking stick to assure that all are properly "regimental." Then we'll fall out for a long weekend of cattle reivin' and pillagin' thoughout the country side.

    Let the kilting begin.

    And just in case you needed a geek explanation of the phenomenon:

    Code:
    <B>This year's Official Kilt Day is</B></FONT><FONT face="Arial, Tahoma" size="+2"> <SCRIPT>
    var mydate=new Date()
    var year=mydate.getYear()
    if (year < 1000)
    year+=1900
    var day=mydate.getDay()
    var month=mydate.getMonth()
    var daym=mydate.getDate()
    if (daym<10)
    daym="0"+daym
    var dayarray=new Array("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday")
    var montharray=new Array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December")
    document.write("<small><font color='000000' face='Arial'><b>"+dayarray[day]+", "+montharray[month]+" "+daym+", "+year+"</b></font></small>")
    </SCRIPT></FONT><BR>

    Kiltday is to Kilt wearers as Landoverbaptist is to pagans. every so often, a person new to life finds the site and gets worked up, granted in different ways, but its kinda fun, because many of us fell for it once in the past.
