Rumrunner Megadive @ Ginnie !!!!!!!

[JahJahwarrior]

Recently at school, we had a dress-in-green day, to make students support a golf tournament thing. Anyways, I have a friend who's grandfather was in a bagpipe band. So I borrowed a green plaid kilt from him. Everyone was asking why I was wearing a skirt, and my principle didn't even notice. Pretty funny


I'm scottish or English, not quite sure which, part of me wants to be English so I have an excuse to talk with a british accent, part of me wants to be scottish so I can wear kilts. However, an accent is cheaper. I can't afford even the cheapest american kilt I could find, which cost about $150. Otherwise, I would own atleast one kilt and wear it periodically. Oh, and in my dream world, allgirls wear dresses for the most part. Dresses make women look very dignified and feminine, and kilts make men look very dignified and manly. I even built a trebuchet once. We used it to launch tennis balls a few hundred feet for a history festival at my school.

try these... www.stillwaterkilts.com

they are much less expensive than the 350$ survival utilikilt

The fact that primarily America has the limited social status that men MUST wear Pants. It's a religious thing dating back to the pilgrims. I did a research project on garb and the feminine/masculine stigma of societies.
It turns out, of the 250 men and 250 women I questioned regarding Kilts, the numbers showed a very high majority of women preferred men in kilts. The majority of the men were too insecure in their manhood to wear one. Both majorities in MY study were over 100 of each gender answering this way. Some OTHER answers were actually quite hilarious. My favorite was a man WEARING a kilt, who answered," I'm too much of a man to be confined to pants!" i'll have to search for that survey and do it again, now fifteen years later.

I've read studies which surmised that it would take about two generations to get men beyond the stigma of kilts/skirts. I agree with your findings that it's a religious stigma which was attached to things. And given America's puritan beginnings, it would explain why the beliefs of the Irish/ Scots/ British were summarily disregarded. They were attempting to escape that type of thinking to begin with.

I once declined being involved in a friends wedding due to the wearing of kilts for the service. Now that I'm older/wiser, I regret not having been involved and my decision. Seems kind of infantile now, and uninformed.

Note that no one said that it would be a GOOD memory.

I must be doing something right, I have yet to be severely traumatized yet.

I never saw a Kilted Diver,
And I never hope to see one.
But I can tell yhou anyhow,
I'd rather see, than be ONE!!

If I remember right, the kilt was invented before unerwear....: rofl3:
I be there just to see a diver in a Kilt,

I be a Pirate,
And a scourge of the Seas,
I drinks me Rum,
And then I pees...
I falls on me arse
And tells tall tales;
I dream of Mermaids.
And I consorts with Whales.
I be a Pirate,
And I plunders the Booty,
But a Diver in a Kilt,
Shows a whole lot of Whooty!!

Marks me Calendar for Kilt Fest a the Springs!

Unfortunately a bunch of buddies (the majority or the non-diving variety - sorry, I wasn't a diver when I met them ) are getting together and have already made the ticketing purchases and other arrangements.

Based on the amount of rum and sheep, I'm sure the memories would either be great or repressed for years to come!
