No if I'm doing something with pipes I kilt up Ready to go with out the slightest doubt. I have even been at the pump with my can and have been asked "what's up with the kilt?" I tell them I'm a piper and the beg me to play something for them. I haven't taken the full set out and tuned up but I'll explain the pipes a bit and play a which tune on just the chanter (not PC the big chanter).

I have to explain my wifes stance on the kilt a bit more. She likes it and loves how I look in it but she thinks it should be reserved for special events.

It's funny. I live in a town of wannabe gangsters. The women all wear sweatpants or pajamas and flip-flops. They all have multiple children and the kids are (sadly) gross. The "men" are wearing shirts 5 sizes to big and jeans 5 sizes to big. Belted tight just under their @ss. They waddle around town and look like fools. I tell you honestly that is 99% of the people on the streets in my neighborhood.
I don't and don't want to ever look like that and would have plenty to say if they said something to me. They would say it in Spanish but then again I'm not so bad at it either. There is nothing better than asking some one a question in Spanish just after they were talking about you thinking you had no idea.

Tulloch: I'll take you up on that. I know of the British Beer Company in Framingham or The Haven in JP. Maybe we can work up a kilt night soon.
