Tartan trews?? why didn't I think of that??

surely that would bring the boss begging on his knees..."please, please wear your kilt tomorrow"

[Dreadbelly]

I stopped going to churches because I kept getting thrown out.

Somehow, I doubt that Yeshua would be welcome round these parts either.

Now, as a bit of revenge in THIS situation, perhaps tartan trews would be the ticket. Bet that would scare him more than the kilt. ;)

The Loud McLeod's would be a good choice, along with a "Real Men wear Kilts, but the boss insists on sissy trousers"-tee-shirt ought to be real attention grabbers. Trews in Clan Chattan tartan would also endanger the digestion of viewers.

If you went into a church, behaving in a respectful manner and got tossed out, It sure doesn't say much for the congregation. Old Johnny PayCheck even recorded a song about just such a congregation, and I can't say that I disagree with his sentiments.

From the album "Armed And Crazy"

You know, I worked the Big Packet show in Fort Worth, Saturday night,
We had all day Sunday to rest and relax, before I caught another flight.
So I decided to walk down town an' get myself a little fresh air.
Before long, I found myself in front of a big church on the corner of the square.

Boy, I could hear that singin' way out in the street, sure was a beautiful sound.
So I just walked up the steps an' opened the door an' started to go inside an' sit down.
But before I could, a young man walked over to me an said: "Excuse me, Sir,
"But I can't let you in with that big black hat, those jeans, that beard an' long hair.

So I just left, went back outside, sat down on that kerbing, an I thought to myself:
That's the house of the Lord. That guy's got the hell of a nerve.
Tellin' me I can't worship anywhere I please.
So right there, in front of that Church, I just knelt down on my knees.

I said: "Lord, I know I don't look like much, but I didn't think you'd mind.
"I just wanted to be with your people, Lord: it's been a long time.
"A while ago, a saw a wino over there in the alley, all bent over in tears,
"An' I thought how one stained glass window, from this Church, would feed his family for years."

"Then there's those fine cars parked outside: too many for me to count.
"Made me think how people walked for days to hear your sermon on the mount.
"Then there's those fine ladies in the choir, Lord, singin' like they really love it.
"Hell, last night, they were dancin' on the front row of my show: drinkin' beer, screamin: 'Sing Shove It.'

"You know, even John the Baptist wouldn't be welcome in this place,
"With his coat made of Camel hair an' sandals on his feet an' a long beard on his face.
"You know, Lord, when you come back to get your children, an' take 'em beyond the clouds,
"To live forever in Heaven with you: well, I'd sure hate to be in this crowd.

"You know, Lord, I'm not perfect; some even call me no count.
"But I'll tell you: I believe a man is judged by what's in his heart, not what's in his bank account.
"So if this is what religion is: a big car, a suit an' a tie,
"Then I might as well forget it Lord, 'cause I can't qualify.

"Oh, by the way, Lord, right before they kicked me out, didn't I see a picture of you?
"With sandals an' a beard. Believe you had long hair too."
"Well, this is Paycheck, signing off.
"I'll be seein' you Lord, I hope."

BTW, you'd be welcomed in my church anytime and we have plenty of stuffed-shirts who be as glad to see you, kilt-dreadlocks-and-all, as they would anyone else.

Tartan trews? You guys are pure evil!

[Shay]

I say go for lycra pants.

Point out they are in fact, pants.

Spend all day worrying about your seams being straight to anyone within earshot.

I also think showing up in robes is a good idea. "I woke up this morning, went to get dressed, and thought, 'What would Jesus do?' So I did that."

OOoooo. Loud McLeod. Perfect. Bright enough to rip his eyeballs out, throw em on the floor and stomp on em.

You know, there are McLeods in my family I have found.

I could with very little guilt get a "LOUD MCLEOD!" kilt and wear that to a church. Or pretty much anywhere else for that matter.

Not a huge fan of bright colours... But being the good Christian that I am, I do have the responsibility to bring a little "sunshine" in to other peoples' lives.

That is excellent, Shay!

I've already threatened my future mother-in-law with this very concept if she ever brings up how horrible men-in-kilts are again.

She's kept her trap shut ever since I showed her what such a garment may look like!
