The Age Old Question

[bear]

Bear, not even fat ladies in spandex??????

Hah! Not even fat guys in spandex!

I only occasionally mention the spandexed fat chicks when someone comments that some guys shouldn't wear kilts because of the shape of their bodies.

...OK OK I've had enough!!!! time to tackle this regimental stuff head on,...

Sooo Graham.... Has this discussion provided any clarification for you? We've dropped our shorts, revealed our hidden... thoughts, spilled our guts so to speak. The subject won't go away. It's like a bloody pheonix... it just won't die. It's now tiresome and moot. Somebody please... post an essay and lock it!

I agree with Bear and with Bubba - do what you are most comfortable with, but do not try to justify with arguments about decency - the Scottish Tartan Authority should stick with comments on tartans, and not make pronouncements about kilts!
[And just for the record, I have been doing 'vigorous dancing' since long before many of you were born and never once have I been aware of even the slightest exposure of genitals (mine or anyone else's) on the dance-floor, because the weight of the sporran and kilt-pin and the fact that the aprons of a kilt are unpleated mean that the front of a kilt never lifts to any revealing level. Of course, when birling or performing certain movements (usually involving quick turns with pas-de-basque) the rear of the kilt does flare out, but the most anyone might see is a rapid flash of bare thigh and lower-buttock - and those parts of the anatomy are much more revealingly displayed on beaches, at swimming-pools, around the running-track day after day to a much wider public than at any Highland Ball.]

I have found it interesting, I guess no has changed their view, but that's normal. To each his own, it's not a life or death issue anyway is it?

I think if we had changed our views on the type of underwear or undernotwear we use, we wouldn't have worn kilts in the first place.

I agree with Graham that it is interesting to here what others have to say and file it away for later use(?).

Here's a good one.

I wore something under my kilt the other day and my wife complained.

"I have never, to my knowledge, had an accidental flip of my kilt in the wind. If it's windy I wear a 6 yard kilt."

All I can say is, he’s been lucky so far! It happened to me last year crossing over the top of a dam, when I was caught out by an unexpected gust of wind coming down the loch – and it was videoed/photographed by a group of Japanese tourists.

Admittedly it was the lightweight 5yd walking kilt but it also happens to full weight army kilts, as evidenced by the well-known pictures of the incident involving the soldier in Hong Kong.

Graham, I like to wear cotton boxers when it's brisk or at work. Who cares if they are not fashionable, no one sees them. If it is real cold out, I'll go with boxer/briefs which hug the body better and cuts down on the breezes.

But when it's warm out I gotta go regimental........

Yeah, the kegals will work wonders and even perk up the love life a bit. Guys actually do something a bit different than a kegal, but the idea is the same. Do a web search, you'll see some neat info on them. It's all about muscle tone and blood flow.

Who the hell wants to cut down on the breezes? I like the breezes!

Yeah! let the wind blow free
