Kilt Night all over the Globe. 10/27

[davedove]

But at this point why not declare Oct. 27 “lift a beer for kilts day”

I guess that's better that "lift a kilt for beers day"

Single malt can be substituted for beer without penalty.

Change that to read "Single malt can be substituted for beer for extra credit!

[rmmcscott]

I think it's a great idea!

Since I'm a newbie, I don't know where or IF Denver is doing a Kilt Night, but there are a number of good pubs in Denver - one of my favorites is the Squealing Pig (3rd & Clayton, in Cherry Creek)!!

What about it Denver-ites?

Burns day would be good for a world wide kilt day, but we should also have a world wide X-Marks day. But at this point why not declare Oct. 27 “lift a beer for kilts day” for 2007 and adjust next year as necessary. At some point during the day everyone lift a beer for kilts on the 27th. Kilted preferred but not necessary, 7 p.m. local time if possible but not necessary.

Single malt can be substituted for beer without penalty.

Here I must disagree, I may admittedly be in the minority, however as I do not drink and have not for close to 15 years I could not and would not support this. It is strange to me that you would say and I quote "Kilted preferred but not necessary".

Forgive me but this is a kilt forum, if you want to talk about everyone lifting a beer or single malt you might want to talk about it in the pub forum, not here.

That said, I will be out at our local gathering most likely lifting a ginger ale to this wonderful forum.

Let's stay in the spirit of the thread. Lift a beer, be it alcoholic, ginger or root. the important part is to raise a drink in toast of all the rabble on X Marks.

McMurdo I think you dost protest to much. I fully support your right to drink what you want and do not support drinking to excess. As I scan this forum beer and single malt are frequent topics. In fact a search for the word beer shows 500 hits.


You are not in the minority you are a majority of one in how you do things and what you use to toast on the 27th. I choose beer and will probably have 2 on the 27th and have my wife coming along to drive.

I believe that most on this forum understood the "lifting a beer" as a generic statement to join in to toast being kilted and X-MarkstheScot and the fellowship of the kilt. I am relatively new to the this forum and apologize if I over stepped my bounds.

I will limit my input in the future.

Well Hank was the first to join the forum on January 22, 2004 so I think it would be safe to say that was the first official day of the forum.

We have tried something similar to this in the past. We had a global party for Hamish's birthday a few years ago http://bearkilts.com/KiltsNight/may1kn.html

I think that given the date of the Xmarks anniversary, that it would be best to try for a Burns night on the following week of January 20th-26th, which would incorporate the 4th Xmarks birthday and Robbie Burns day. It's always a good excuse to get a bunch of kilties together for a good time.

Lets make the 27th a practice run for the celebration of Burns week in January. Practice is always good, right? Exercize is good and if we start practising our weight lifting now, we will be ready for January. 1 oz, 12 oz, or 1/2 liter curls will get us in shape for The World Wide Burns Dinner in Jan.

This is a great excuse for SOKS to get out and support this worthy cause. How about the Queens arms in Oakville?

Cheers,
Rick

[Archangel]

try a lot of practice runs, with Irn Bru or D&B.

Please do not limit your input in the future, I will admit that I did in fact over react, one of the best things about this forum is that on issues such as these we can agree to disagree. I do welcome your views, and hope that I have not discouraged you.
