not only comfortable, but useful too.

Post by Couya »

Yesterday my flat, with its relatively spacious terrace, was used for a friend's birthday party. The friend's phone rang: a guest she had invited, but whom no-one else knew, was lost and could not find my flat. Giving instructions was too difficult, so someone had to go and find him, but how would the two strangers recognize each other?

The hostess was busy in the kitchen and could not go out, so, for once, I could make myself useful. "Just tell him, I said, to look for a man in a skirt." Problem solved!

And a good time was heady all, thanks to the skirt, but mainly to the sudden arrival of summer temperatures, allowing us to be out on the terrace till late.

There certainly wasn't much room for confusion there! Well played!

Same here. When one of my long-time friends is meeting me for lunch, and he gets to the restaurant first, he often tells the hostess, "Watch for a guy in a kilt and send him my way."

Clearly skirts and kilts can be very use full. Where I am its very cold/ wet and extremely windy so would be a bit of a worry out there for me today in a skirt.

Good going! I had a thought as I read this. I wonder what the chances are of 2 guys wearing a skirt to be at the same place at the same time? I know that it is probably incalculable. But that is how my mind works sometimes.

Look for a Celtic fest in your area. I'm sure there'll be hundreds of kilt-wearers to vibe with.

As far as I know, Utilikilts still has an active storefront in Seattle.

And if you're ever going to be in Arizona, let me know.

Nor so sure about that -- not in Europe anyway.

Au contraire, I encounter other men wearing skirts or kilts once every couple, of months or so.

A guy from this board wearing a denim skirt in a grocery store. Another guy at a tattoo convention; he used to work for Utilikilts. A guy in my section who wore a kilt to a hockey game several to times. A musician playing in a local microbrewery. A guy in a denim kilt at a a musical concert. Busboys at Tilted Kilt and, in one case, a customer.

Not to mention hundreds of guys (including policemen) at Celtic fests.

Actually, Phoenix to Montreal is about 2200 miles, which is 500 miles further than Dublin to Moscow.

It's 2800 miles from Dublin to Quebec.

As I will drive this June, Wilmington NC to Flagstaff AZ is 2125 miles via direct I-40, though our route will be perhaps twice that long since we will make a significant southward sweep to Big Bend Natl. Park., then north through New Mexico to Durango CO, then to the Grand Canyon.
As a matter of fact, the sun DOES shine out of my ...
