Need some advice for a friend

OK - I stand corrected! There are Kilt Police - - - - !

So, where is the recruitment office?

First your test:

On disagreeing with a friend


If he were your friend
and true to the end

I'd look him eye

For a true friend
you can sway and bend

and give him this reply

"My bonnie mate
the hour grows late

I'd not have us fight

O'er opinions you state
That I might not relate

To find out who is right

The world is vast
Let friendship last

and we will go our way

to your opinion hold fast
if mine away you cast

to speak another day

Perhaps till then we'll think
on what made the other blink

and stare in disbelief

we'll meet again and drink
to our friendship's link

and not let our bond come to grief"

This I would speak
neither proud or meek

but sure in myself

for a disagreement bleak
I'd feel neither anger or weak

and still drink to my friend's health.


Cheers

First your test:

Is that like the "pluck the pebble from my hand" test from the old TV show Kung Fu?

Dang, Jamie you never talk purty like that to me. This thread has sure taken some strange turns.

Sorry ardchoille I reread your initial post.

Apparently this is not a kilt, ergo;

apparently this is not a rubber full face chicken sporran!

That's because you are always marching around talking about me being eaten by polar bears or penguins! It's hard to be poetic with that sort of imagery...

Captain Panache's bones Polar Bear chewed
The Acryli-beast his flesh did enjoy stewed
In his blood the penguins their tea brewed
Grant danced about and did something Lewd
I decided to not print this as it seemed crude

Here's another link that has some useful information about the kilt

http://www.apparelsearch.com/definit...definition.htm

The section The Kilt Today has:

As with any other form of dress, the kilt is subject to the vagaries of fashion. Since the 1980s, kilts have appeared in such materials as leather and denim. Single colours have also been used in place of tartan, particularly by people without Scottish links in countries such as Ireland or the United States. While these garments may be disliked by traditionalists, they provide evidence that the kilt still has a place in the modern fashion world.

So while your friend may be historically correct, he still needs to get up to date!

Looks like a kilt to me

Oh, now I get it. We are riffing on Magritte "This is not a pipe."
