Scottish Festival Peeves?

I hate to tell you this, but while I have known a few really hot teachers (they all seem to be elementary and middle school, and very perky & bubbly ...is there an unspoken requirement or something?), there's still an awfully high likelihood that I'll find the cheerleaders more interesting!

FTW!

You are taking this the wrong way, Sean! I personally prefer the history teachers. Nerds can get really crazy- repressed and all... I should know... I am one! My family tell me all the time!

My favorite is the bearded guy wearing the kilted skirt down to his ankles.

That's probably this guy. There's a reason he wears it long

Okay. I'll admit, that's pretty funny.

GOOD call Travis! There is probably a reason I keep falling in with girls with teaching degrees who went to Catholic school.

Epic win, Turpin!

Fine, but be honest -- don't bill something as promoting history & heritage, as many festivals do. The people who say such things generally aren't the ones cleaning up the mess -- it's the underpaid history teachers who do!

I guess I was lucky. All my history teachers were males. My engish terachers were females, mostly young and attractive. My teachers instilled in me a certain pride in my studies. I am by no means a Rhodes Scholar, but I excelled in History. In one of my classes, I was assigned a book to read and write a report on. We were told to come dressed as a character in the book. The title of the book escapes me now, but I do remember it was about WWII. I came dressed as an American soldier. From steel pot to jump boots, I studied uniforming before I went to class. All I am saying , is to honor what you are doing. If it is a book report in 7th grade or wearing another's national dress to a function. I like wearing the kilt. I like going to festivals. After readiang so many posts about headwear on xmarks, I choose not to cover my head, for fear of upsetting someone. I will not wear my real men t shirt without the kilt. I try to wear the kilt in a modest way. No fly plaid on the argyll. With my wife having German and Austrian heritage, I like to go to Oktoberfest celebrations. I do not have lederhoesen. I do have a shirt and vest that I brought home from Germany. Looks good with jeans. I try not to abuse the senses of people that have actually lived in europe. At the local fests, I have had people come up to me and start speaking in german. As most of you know, I haven't mastered english yet. Joan gets me out of trouble. A lot.

Wear the kilts more often and different places. We must educate the masses who think we are wearing skirts. I will wear my kilt to Redneck day at the county 4h fair. (pick a day, every day is redneck day). I just wish I could wear a hidden camera.



Second rant over. Past my bedtime. The people at the home want me to turn my lights out.

My parents sent me to Catholic school. I know all about it...

Been on raids to a couple of Catholic schools when we couldn't find any kine here in the asphalt acres. Beware the plaid wave. And those nuns can RUN.
