Lin over at If The Creek Don't Rise is tryin' to convince me that I'd look good in a kilt. Did a little work on a picture of me to make the point. I think that's even a Wilson tartan. Hmmmm.
OK, I'm not sure about the Ballet slippers (Ghillie Brogues), but the rest does stir something tribal in me. I think with boots and a cool dirk, to stab the guys who try to lift the thing or give me any shit at all, it might just be fun. So, what do you think?

I think I make this look good.

It definitely works...now all you need to do is work on the accent, and you'll have women dropping their drawers for you en masse!
Try channelling Sean Connery.
I'd stick with the shorts. But that may just be the English in me 8>}.
And I know what you mean about moving a lot as a kid. But the reasons we moved were a lot different, as I've discussed on my blog. But having lived in 7 or 8 towns in 4 states and traveled as far south as Auckland, NZ , as far north as Adak, AK, as far east as New London, CT and all over the western Pacific as an adult, I really feel sorry for my cousins who never left North Texas. I mean damn. The grandest building they've ever seen is the Denton County courthouse. And never tasted the exotic cuisine in the Far East. Well, I was usually drunk but I tasted it. Anyway, I'm glad I've been where I've been and seen what I've seen.
If it helps with the game all the better :)
Christina - It ain't gonna happen, but at leastI don't think it looks completely foolish. Maybe as a joke one day.
Myron - My sentiments exactly my man. I just wish I'd realized how lucky I was a lot earlier. I think all the stories my folks told us about their home made us homesick for something we could never have, but that's all water under the bridge. I love the life I had now, and wouldn't trade it for anything.
Hammer - It won't help the swing, that's fer sure.
Well, you'd definitely distract the other golfers, that's for sure:) It would look better with boots. What is that down the front?
Becky - I believe it's a purse, but I'm sure they have a fancy name for it that hides the fact. Maybe if you weigh that thing down enough your skirt, er kilt, doesn't fly up as much in the front, revealing your shortcomings to passers by.
Now, in the interest of fairness, post a pic of yourself in a suit so we can compare;)
I think all those pictures must have spontaniously combusted, from stress. Seriously, I don't think I have one. I HAVE a suit, but no picture of me in it. Don't wear them to anything but funerals and weddings.
Having known Lin for a long time, I must warn you. She has a wicked sense of humour and will try to talk you into just about anything. LOL
It's not a Wilson tartan but I couldn't reach my pal to find out what colors to look for.
Now start practicing the kaber toss.
Alphonse ... moi?
Well I looked, and I think it is a Wilson tartan, or close enough. Maybe needs a little more green. And I ain't buyin' a friggin' kilt, but I'm just tingly all over from all this attention.
Alright...I'm pissed, who's doing your PhotoShop for ya?
You had to resort to this to get hits...now you're taking after me!
Aaaah, my public.
You know what I think...
The "purse" is a sporran.
Yep, I thought so. God, someone drive a steak into the hear of this one. Let's rock and roll!
Actually, there's a NEW type of Kilt on the market. It's called the "TactiKilt" you can look it up on the web. They come in black, tanKhaki, olive and tropical. They've got belt loops and flap pockets and are made of twill and I think are much more practical than the wool kilts for our part of the country than the traditional, scratchy, wool, kilts.
Now, just MHO, but there's nothin' sexier than a man with athletic calves in a full on kilt, including the skindoo and speculating on whether he's "regimental" or not.
I agree. A kilt would suit you nicely. I want to see it though!
