    Congratulations, Graham....!...!

    WOW!...You have attained the distinguished and honorable level of "Kilted Master". 8) You are the only one... for the moment anyway. Your consistantly generous and often witty verbosity has entertained us going on 3 months now. Don't you ever sleep man! Congratulations, Graham.

    Way to go, Graham! How much coffee do you drink? Or do you ever sleep?

    Wow, just noticed the title, I'm honoured.

    I don't drink coffee, but good celtic music and a wee dram keeps me up occasionally.

    I love this site, I spend time here to the detriment of other site obligations.

    speaking of which, another site I frequent is a trade related one (signs).
    The topic of making signs in a tartan design came up, before long I mentioned my kilt wearing, posted a piccie, and then received a barrage of silly comments about what was under the kilt.

    As part of my response I wrote this:

    I'm used to silly comments from folk about kilts. In fact, you don't want to even consider wearing a kilt unless you're prepared to brush off all kinds of comments.

    The fact is that while some wrongly associate a kilt with female attire, the kilt is and always has been the most comfortable, healthy, liberating and utterly masculine garment one could possible wear.
    There are many testimonies from those who have, like me, donned a kilt for a joke, or a special occasion, and instantly been impressed with the feeling of freedom one gains by this remarkable Scottish garment.

    There are more men in the world whose cultures and customs include the wearing of unbifurcated garments.
    In the 'west', we are the ones that are loosing out having adopted in the last couple of hundred years bifurcated garments (trousers).

    It's ironic that since women have long fought for and achieved the right to wear trousers, it can truly be said that there is no longer anything particularly "masculine" about trousers.
    When I put on a pair of jeans, I am wearing identical clothing to my daughter and wife and most other women.

    On the other hand, a kilt always has been, is now and always will be an exclusively male garment.

    Here endeth the lesson

    I am the Kilted master, and I sleep not, neither do I have need of food, water only since I have attained this high and lofty level of kiltification.

    Please send $50 for a personally autographed photo of my kilt

    Seriously, I get about 6 hours, which is enough.
    Someone asked me the other day where I get my energy from.

    My reply to that is:

    natural food
    honouring the fourth commandment
    wearing a kilt
    having a faithful wife
    avoiding all forms of tobacco
    plenty of whisky

    Yes, you just responded to my response. Which was the responsible thing to do.
