A lot of Highland Games in Texas are located in small towns. You'd think the whole town would be aware of an event that would pull in 15 to 20,000 people every year when the town's population is just 2 thousand. Well, after the first day, I went to the grocery thinking no one would give me a second look. Sure enough, a man stops me and asks why I'm wearing a kilt. The store is right next door to the games field with flags flying and signs all over.

I got an interesting one today.

I was on my way into the old fortress of solitude, when one of my new neighbors sees me in my kilt. It took a second for him to stop staring, and then he looked at me and said "So, are you coming from a martial arts class?"

I was so caught off guard that all I could say was "no, just wearing a kilt." I wanted to use some witty lines in the brief exchange that followed, but I decided that with this audience I was better off just being straight forward and going on my way.

I've had lutefisk...

It's not as bad as I expected, but it is also not something I would go out of my way to make sure I got again, either!
Just last weekend, there was the Scottish Ramble in downtown St. Paul, where there were more than a couple of kilts, I'm sure.
I didn't make it...something about my truck needing brakes more than I needed to go.

From an interview* with Jeffrey Steingarten, author of The Man Who Ate Everything:

Lutefisk is not food, it is a weapon of mass destruction. It is currently the only exception for the man who ate everything. Otherwise, I am fairly liberal, I gladly eat worms and insects, but I draw the line on lutefisk … Lutefisk is the Norwegians' attempt at conquering the world. When they discovered that Viking raids didn't give world supremacy, they invented a meal so terrifying, so cruel, that they could scare people to become one's subordinates. And if I'm not terribly wrong, you will be able to do it as well."
