Superstitious About A Kilt

[Lallans]

Humans are designed to look for and to see patterns in things, it's a matter of survival. Logic can show which associations are valid and which are not, but logic is harder to use if the possible consequences are severe, as in your case where there was a car crash.

But my immediate question is, what was the guilty party in the accident wearing? Unless it was a really severe crash, they didn't end up in your kilt did they? If they did then burn it, otherwise you're safe.

My Mom was from Welsh/Irish miner stock who settled in Tombstone, Arizona in the 1800's (My Greatgrandfather was the Jailer during Wyatt's day).
Every daily ritual had a superstitions flair to it. I don't kill spiders either and I always put my right shoe on first....I could go on and on.
It is sort of like OCB with me. I understand completely.
I like the idea of wearing it for a occasion that you know will be fun. Is there any red in the tartan?

Won 3 golf scrambles in a row last fall, my family outing and the others were cash pots, all while kilted. Told my teammates it was the power of the kilt!!Entered one more at the end of the year and placed dead last! Wore pants for that one.

Ron, I can see your association but it's hard for me to give credibility to anything superstitious having been born as I was on a Friday the 13th. That being said, I tend to migrate towards the number 13 as a sort of good luck symbol, go figure.

I don’t kill spiders, but that is not a matter of superstition. I appreciate their efforts to catch flies and other insects.
But I do tend to remember the Christopher Robin poem about the bears that hide under the paving slabs when I walk on the cracks . . .

Or should I just go ahead and check myself into the Senility Acres Booby Hatch?

If you do, you'll have to stand in line, just like the rest of us here. The line is soooo long.
