    My other half took me into the Hot Topic store that just opened in the mall last weekend. I was approached by a store employee sporting many piercings & a bright blue Mohawk. He asked about the kilt, how often I wore it ext. & seemed amazed when I told him the only place I didn't wear it was at work.

    The best part of the whole exchange was when punker boy said that he didn't think he had the guts to wear the kilt because of the extra attention it would draw to him. Then he told me that I was his new hero.

    I am 6'4", 220lb, sport a black UK whenever I can.

    Best positive experience -
    Girl, shouted across street - "Whaddya wear under that?"
    Me - "Boots!" (of course)

    Best negative experience
    Young punk - "Hey man, you a F****T?"
    Me - "Why, you cruisin' for a piece of a**?"

    His friends all laughed at him, and I walked away smugly.

    Oh boy, I think I found that one way too clever for my own good.

    I'm almost embarassed that I got that one. :rolleyes:

    With all the EverQuest I've played, the first response to pop in to my mind was, "Don't be silly, Halflings don't wear kilts."

    Don't feel bad, I got it too. I guess that just means we're geeks, KILTED geeks though.

    No Halflings don't normally wear kilts, but in one world where I played, the dwarves do. (Yay! Angus the Dwarf!).

    Tonight after dinner with friends at LaRosa's, I stopped in at Graeter's Ice Cream for a treat. I was wearing my black UK with boots and a robin-egg blue shirt. On my way out of the store, I had to wait at the door for a family family of five or so - four adults and a small girl about 4.5 years of age - to get their act together before I could exit.

    The dad eventually helped make way for me and I passed through the group:
    Kid: "That man is wearing girl pants!"
    Mom: "Shh. It's a kilt."
    Dad: Embarrassed grin in my direction.
    Me: Returned the grin with a shrug.
    Regards,
    Rex in Cincinnati
