Camouflage gear supplier never heard of kilts?

Father Bill! Please tell me you are not advocating the telling of non-truth!

Considering how funny it would be to actually see such a pile of malarkey grow from off-hand remark to full-grown rumor and finally blossom into accepted "fact" I'd have to give it my thumbs up.

That's exactly my point! I've discovered an awful lot of malarkey that grows just like that!

That could quite possibly be the most brilliant myth ever started and virtually impossible to disprove!

"I've never seen Scottish soldiers in camo kilts."

"Exactly"

Nice job.

This poses some interesting options...we have a couple of the little pocket camo "make up" kits for to cover your big, pale face with so it doesn't give you away...will we have the same for our big, pale knees? Camo kilt hose?

The make up kits are a joke but camo kilt hose would probably be a hit.

And I've often found that these people know perfectly well what a kilt is...they're just so immature that they can't resist a chance to make a smart *** remark in an attempt to yank somebody's chain. They're more to be pitied than scorned.

[shock][sarcasm]Wow! Has anybody seen one of these kilts? What patten are they in: the standard DPM or have they evolved up to a digital or MultiCam type of pattern?[/sarcasm][/shock]

Well, somebody had to do it!

My sons and I attended Oklahoma D-Day last year for the first time (world's largest paintball event, google if curious). We had a great time, and are going back again. I signed us all up for the Commonwealth Expeditionary Force, 3rd I.D. Canadian Scots. Mostly, but not entirely, so that I would not be the only guy on the field in a kilt at a paintball event. As it turned out there were half a dozen or so of us that played kilted the whole week of events. But we were the only kiltes present, and all of us citizens of the US, even though there are loads of Canadians in the commonwealth, none of them chose the CanScots.

So I reckon we are just a weird bunch, and I am ok with it. No one laughs at us much on the field though. It is a very aggressive bunch of paintballers who play kilted at OK D-Day.

I wear my Robert Pell hemp kilt, and it is almost like armor. Camo kilts are on the field, and I will be taking a new one this year myself.

I think it is important to take your sense of humor along when kilted in most places around the US.

One thing I've always wondered about paintball: if you're hit in the apron, fore or aft, does it count as a hit? With trousers it would have just passed between your legs.

You guys scoff, but 300 years from now there very well could be movies of camo kilted Scotsmen in some ridiculous reimagining of Braveheart or the Jacobite era (or more likely a remake of Bravo 2-0).

I remember the episode of Futurama where Fry and the gang went to some sort of 20th century museum that had cowboys wrangling dinosaurs, flying model-Ts, and all sorts of other anachronistic mash-ups similar to what we do today in period pieces of a sufficiently remote era.
