kilt lifters

[Mr. Kilt]

Actually, I'm among those whose kilt has never been lifted. Permission or no. Over the Christmas holidays, however, my sister-in-law - ever so slowly - slid her hand from my knee to my hip "just to check". It is, apparently, faily common in my wife's family to "kilt check" this way but I nearly had to excuse myself from the room to avoid more obvious embarrasment.

All that and it was about -4F outside! Yikes!

:P

Doc Hudson. Canes with a regular crook cause me to have stress fractures in my hand. I have to put all my body weight on it when I walk. So I use a grip a bit like this one pictures here.

Only mine is an amber resin mix. The cane is mohogany. Inch and a half at top, tapering down to an inch at bottom. Has a solid brass core shaft in the middle of the wood. Will safely hold and support over 500 pounds before bending or breaking. Whacking somebody acrossed the shins with this monster would shatter them. I am well practiced in Aikido, and using a cane defensively is like second nature.

I can go walking in bad parts of town wearing a kilt and not feel the least bit threatened.

Kilt lifters take note. Your knees are mine!

I wan't going to go here...But anyway!

I had a group of 3 women (2 were friends of my (now) wife) attempt to lift my kilt (to a height that seemed to be best described as "over my head") at our WEDDING. They were unsuccessful (They were drunk. I was not). My response? I told the two single women that I'd be returning the favor at THEIR wedding. The other one? "At some point in the future." Will I? Bloody unlikly. But then, the suggestion alone has them "very concerned". They have asked "Would you really do that?" My reply? "I never thought *you* would".

These three of them have hit my eternal $hit list. There's no recovery likely.

But anyway. The only other event I've ever had was in New Orleans, on Bourbon Street, on a Saturday. It was a back peek, she was drunk (and about 20) and, hell... With everything else that happens there, I was sort of expecting it.

A guy? A front lift? Sounds like assault. I would react accordingly. After all, he *could* have been grabbing for my sporran. And that's my "wallet", isn't it? ;)

Places such as Scotland or Ireland...what sort of rules are there re: lifting/peeking?

The same as anywhere else, Tim.

That's what I figured. Perhaps the explanation is the general deterioration of manners in recent years, combined with alcohol. As for the culprits who are sober at the time of the misdeed...these may well be the people most likely to find ways to be inconsiderate in other situations.

[Dreadbelly]

People have lost their manners because it has become a crime to teach people manners. Giving somebody the beating of their life most of the time will get YOU tossed in jail.

You are expected to take it on the chin and just ignore it.

Why are we so ashame of our bodies? Most kilt lifters are not dangerous but filrty, and why do some people have problem with that.

I don't think the ladies really trying to take advantages of us. A little touching is just going to boost our egos.

Lift on.

Does anybody have a reaction re: lifting versus peeking-without-lifting?

[Riverkilt]

Hear Hear!! to being unashamed of being unashamed of our bodies (note links below).

The peeking without permission is intrusive.

I'm having some trouble with this thread since I used to get really really drunk and lay on the floor with my camera and invite skirted ladies to stand over me so I could take their photo. Many did and I snapped many photos of lady's crotches.

But, alas, like Hungry Joe in Catch-22 (do I remember that correctly?) the photos never came out. Always out of focus because the distance from the camera to the crotch was always too close for focus.

While that's not the same as sticking a camera under a kilt (another thread here??) by laying down and asking for volunteers it seems kinda similar to asking for a peek under.

One more reason I quit drinking...

For any droolers, shredded the pics years ago, sorry.
