On the Diginity of How to Wear a Kilt
Since we are on the topic of removing pants: My first encounter with the kilt phenomenon this Pennsic.

I am talking the real deal here. Why do we wear them? Because the women want us to. Actually, a pretty good reason... I decided to join the ranks of kilt wearers. (Added: 25-Nov-2003 Hits: 104)

Preserving the music of a culture
I was listening to a cassette of Irish pub songs by The Dubliners on the way to work, and it brought up some memories.

To some degree, I've kinda been successful too. (Added: 5-Jan-2004 Hits: 91)

They are amazing. (Added: 21-May-2004 Hits: 97)
