Hello, All.

**The Supreme Canuck** · 23rd March 06, 08:18 PM

Hello! I've been lurking for the past few days, and you seem like a friendly lot. I figured I may as well drop in.

Never really sure what to say in these intro posts...

Well, I suppose I should start by saying that I'm a newbie both on the forum and in wearing a kilt. In fact, I've only ever worn my father's old kilt (which was - and is - far, far too large), and then only a few times.

I would like to get my own, though, and the sooner, the better. I have a number of questions, but I won't ask them in the intro forum -- I'll mosey on over to a more appropriate location.

So, uh, yeah. That's it. Hi!

now that i have gotten the image of Diana Ross in a red & white tartan kilt with the maple leaf woven into it out of my head I will say WELCOME ABOARD!!!

We are a fun bunch who dont bite (unless provoked) & will be far too happy to teach you the ways of the kilt...

I am not sure where Kingston Canada is, but I am in Michgian, the only place where Canada is to the North AND East! Welcome to a great learning place, a place of fun and great kilted people. What are you studying to be in university?

DALE.

Indeed we are a fun bunch except for ?!?!?!? and #*#*#* so be forewarned.

Thanks for the welcome, guys.

I'm a political studies major and a history minor. Which will make me entirely unemployable. After I graduate, it's off to get a law degree. Don't hold it against me.

We have our own, and RMC is a bit of a walk. Besides, they don't seem to like us much.

And as for lots of kilts in Kingston, yes. Yes there are. Boy, are there ever. Where else do you see a group of five kilted guys piping and dancing down the sidewalk on a Friday night?

Welcome.

That's all right, no one is really sure what to say when they welcome you either!

So, uh...

Welcome!

It is quite the sight. The Frecs themselves, though... those people are imposing. Purple head to toe, wild hair, eng jacket, BIG chains... and a kilt. Great thing to see.

Welcome to the forum. It is always nice to have more Canucks.

Well, geez! I should head out to B.C. sometime. Sounds like fun.

Do I qualify? Both my oparents were born and raised in Nova Scotia. Dad on the Bay of Fundy, and mom in Yarmouth. Still have family out there. Wonderful place.

And to everyone else: thanks! I don't think I've ever been welcomed to a place as thoroughly as I have been here!
