Fat athletes, or maybe fat people in general?
Irish dancers.
The Irish in general it seems...Too bad the "Scotti' brought the games tradition with them from Ireland!
People who wear their Highland dress funny or wrong.
People who just dress funny.
People who like to drink.
Pirates. Disney ones in particular.
Mythological creatures like fairies or elves etc.. Guess that would go doublr for Leprechauns, sinse they're Irish.
Renfaire folk in garb of any kind.
LARPers, actually I'm with y'all on that one. They are invading SF cons and faire too.
To circumvent this in the future I think I may just sit in my room while wearing my kilt and stare at the mirror while reciting Burns and listening to CD's of piping instead of going to the games. Maybe sip some apple cider and nibble on my fake haggis while I halfheartedly wave a tiny Saltire.
