Bloomin' Sporrans

[artificer]

Found this in today's Scotsman on-line edition...


Any medium or small-sized flowers can be used – including roses and the traditional Scottish thistle.

Dobbie's spokeswoman, Gail Sutherland, said: "Floral sporrans will be the must-have trend for anyone wearing a kilt at a wedding this summer.

I personally think I'd avoid this like the plague. ESPECIALLY the thistle. Who the heck wants to have a lap-full of thistle?

Masochists and ignoramus hooligans. Now if it were dandelions...

They were inspired by people growing their own fruit and veg, huh?

With that in mind, I think a fruit or veg arrangement sporran would be quite the conversation starter.



I could see it working, if you were the best man or otherwise a guy in the wedding party.

Granted, I can see it being a good time for all the wrong reasons, so I suppose I should say I think realistically it's a bit silly and honestly that's why we have a hole in our lapels, but...I'm envisioning a sort of cross between the rent-a-puppy commercial and Wedding Crashers.

...ALL the wrong reasons.

Is that a carrot in your sporran or are just happy to... Oh, never mind!
