Okay, I'll bite. "Always wear under wear"?

We have a winner!

Actually it's a bit of a joke and a device to get students to remember that "ubi" is "where" (as opposed to wear)....a lame joke, certainly but I've remembered the point of it all these years later.

Semper = always
ubi = where
sub = under
ubi = where

I agree with James on the issue of comic underwear. I'm not a traditionalist in the sence that I own a wool, taylored kilt. My kilts are Stillwaters, Buzz Kidders, and Amerikilts. However, one thing that I have gained from my membership here at XMarks is a respect for the kilt and it's rich heritage. I never go regimental, but I always were solid color briefs.

Certainly this is all a personal choice, but when I wear my kilts I want to project an image of being well dressed, an image that projects pride in my appearance, and pride in the kilt. If I have an accidental exposure, then all that will be seen are dark colored briefs.

I even wear my Amerikilts with kilt hose, flashes, and a crest badge on the sporran. The kilt is contemporary, but worn in a way that honors the traditions on which it is based. I think this blend of contemporary and traditional attire compliment each other quite well. Of course this is just my opinion, and the way I prefer to dress, whether the kilt is a traditional style or contemporary.

I adapt to the situation I am faced with. If I am trodding around a highland games I never have anyone touch my kilt. Go to a kilted event and someone may inquire whats under, but most won't lift it.
If I go to a pub there is a chance there might be one lady or goof wants to see. Hasn't been a problem yet but I don't take the chance. I had one guy grab the bottom of my kilt recently, I told him quietly and calmly in a joking/ not-joking way that it wouldn't be a good idea. He got the point.
A goofy pair of briefs might be the ticket. Maybe something that belittles the person for lifting the kilt in the first place. We need briefs that put the joke back on them. Make them feel more embarassed that they did it than you feel to actually have someone do it to you.

I feel the same way. The first time I wore a kilt to a pub, around St. Patricks Day. I decided to wear silk boxers with silly characters on them. I went outside for breath of fresh air a drunk lady decided to lift my kilt, she was ticked off that i had them on. She asked why, i said because someone would do it! At Highland Games.. never had any one attempt to lift it!!!!

I think that we live in an age where some folks think that "Animal House" and "Ferris Buehler's Day Off" are supposed to be real life....that you're supposed to play along with their immature behavior and if you don't you're just a bad sport. Too bad for them.
