kilt lifters

I hope that your wrist healed properly...

I guess it shows that I was tired when I posted that. I had just taken an unopened beer from the fridge when the moron tried to lift my apron. I brought the can down full force, and since the can was upside down when I took it from the fridge, that nice little aluminium lip caught him directly on the bones of the wrist. He never talked to me much after that...

Wear Spongebob Squarepants shorts! That'll show 'em.

No it won't. The shorts'll hide 'em.

21 pages!! hot topic!

Well I had a drunk (who was causing a lot of trouble) at a festival recently try to lift more kilt, I deflected his hand and swung around to give him a swift kick up the backside. I'm glad he was drunk 'cos he was a lot bigger than me !

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kiltchen, as it were. You know you run the risk of having your kilt lifted by wearing it.

Fair or not, the world regards a man wearing a kilt as fair game. In the end, if you will, you are in control of whether others expose you or not.

If you are risk-adverse, wear underwear and face the less-risky derision and laughs for not being regimental. If you are okay with a modicum of risk, then go regimental and run the risk of exposure by proxy.

But at least let's be adult enough to admit to our culpability in the exposure. We knew the risk, we took it, and we shouldn't blame others for doing what we knew they were likely to do.

Do they display bad manners by doing it? Yes. Should they have the courtesy to ask? Sure. But since when has the world operated as it should or displayed good manners?

If you think the world will behave, you are fooling yourself and no one else. Just be cheeky and enjoy the attention. If you can't, you're better off in pants.

Very interesting thread to say the least :-P

I have to disagree here.

The world does not regard a man wearing a kilt as fair game. Ill-mannered, boorish individuals might, but they do not represent society as a whole.

Saying that we as kilt wearers must share culpability in the exposure is akin to telling a victim of sexual assault that they brought it on themselves by the manner in which they dress.

Outstanding analogy.

Of course, having your kilt lifted isn't remotely similar to rape, but the rationale is the same.

I'll be using that example in the future.

I got 'checked' for the first time on Thursday (April 5th) after the Vancouver kilt night. My girl, our friend and I had left Doolin's to go watch the game somewhere else (the Penny Lane for those that know the area). I was standing there with my girls when I feel something brush the back of my legs. I thought it was a brave individual lifting a pleat but when I turned around I saw a girl down on all fours with her head turned up so she could look right up! I jumped away and she shot up holding a $5 bill saying that she had dropped it and was just bending down to get it. That in itself would be OK but she was sitting on my other side and there was NO way the bill could have traveled that far.

My Girl and friend hadn't seen what had happened so I explained it to them and we all laughed. Then I had a thought. So I went over to the girl and cuddled up right next to her, arm around the shoulders and everything. I leaned right in and said (in my best/worst scottish accent) "Now, lass. I have to ask. Did you like what you saw?" She answered with a fierce "NO!" and we had a nice discussion about how she thinks it's disgusting that men 'fly free' when wearing kilts.

All in all, it was a good experience in my books. And I look forward to many more encounters like this in the future.

Apparently it's not gross enough to prevent her from looking.

Once the shock of seeing a girl trying that hard to find out, I actualy enjoyed it. Like I said, it was fun!

I agree with F16WarBird on this. Rape is a completly different thing. Now if you want to compare it to a guy lifting/looking up a girls skirt that's closer. Although I think it sucks that if we as men called the cops because someone was looking up our kilts they would probably just laugh at us.

One day all will be equal!!!
