    a few years back I decided to sneak in a round of golf on a blustery Thanksgiving morning and knocked in a hole-in-one on the 11th hole. Turns out I was alone on the course, only two other brave souls even played that day, I was half a mile from the clubhouse which was manned by one young lad who was watching the t-giving day football games, and the only other potential witness was a farmer tilling under the cornstalks over a quarter mile away. Did I score a hole in one? Yes, it says so on the card. It counts toward my handicap and in every other way but one---it is not officially a documented hole-in-one because it was not witnessed.

    So, whether your kilt rose on the breeze or not, unwitnessed event, and you know the first rule of xmarks as well as the next guy, Grant-----NO PICS IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. NO WITNESS IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

    You can share with me in the solitary comfort of knowing we each encountered a unique and fulfilling happy event, official or not.

    Sorry but even if the wind blows it up there has to be someone to observe it

    Not a kilt-check. All it proves is that Grant wears 11 oz-weight kilts.

    Well being from a place where the wind blows cold in the winter. I vote yes, it counts. But is sure ain't like a nice warm hand (or even a cold one seeking warmth).

    From a purely semantic viewpoint I must grant Grant with a "lift". It remains to be seen if a proper "check" ever materializes.

    Now that I have expanded my personal lexicon, it appears that I have been "Grant-ed" on a number of occasions!

    Congratulations Grant. You are now the namesake of an actual event. Your fame enshrined in our corner of cyberspace.

    Jock, you caved in too early on the state/province thing. In your original post, you never defined state as a geographical region or mental awareness/capacity. The capital "S" could have been a rare type-o.

    Oh I thought I would humour the poor delusion-ed fellow, as he has to suffer the crushing disappointment of failing in his lifetime ambition of having a kilt lift.
