HE ALMOST GOT KILT! (& that's no bull...)

[Dirk Skene]

Holy Frijoles I know bull fighting is ingrained in the Spanish culture. I know some of the history of how it came to be as it is today. I will not try to oppose it Some day I'd like to attend one just for the experience. But this running of the bulls thing is just plain suicidal.

After reflecting on the logic of running with the bulls in a kilt, I have determined that it is quite possibly the most logical garment to wear.

Taking what we know of bull fighting techniques, the bull fixates on the center of the cape as this is wear the matador is supposed to be standing, but the matador is actually standing off to one side. The kilt billowing out while running could act much the same way so that as the runner "zigs" or "zags" the bull will remain locked onto the trailing tartan, therefore providing the runner a few extra inches of buffer from the impaling points of Los Torros.

Now all I have to do is split this atom....where did I put my chisel?

standing to one side behind a cape is one thing, but dead centre behind the kilt is, er, umm, me. Not a lot of room for deception.

Remember the fear factor of a kilt is based on running towards your opponent: running away, it looks kind of, well, not intimidating.


On that red cap: guy got off light compared to what Hamish will do when he see it, Ha.
