sorry to disappoint you.

trad kilt + scots accent (dundee, as a preference) = 1 happy irishgirl

strange khaki kilt-like thing + american accent = 1 irishgirl in fits of giggles.

guys, if you do go for it, you have to learn to walk propery.  
imagine you’re naked.  
now walk.

thinking about the kilt, and the fact you’re not wearing underwear will make you walk funny.

If it shows up before then, you got it. I’ll wear it the right way, too. See the last line of **irishgirl** s post to figure that one out.

Never thought much about kilts, but after seeing the reaction of the women in this thread, I’m going to buy five or six right now.

So remember, ladies, you’ve brought this on your own heads.

(BTW, **Grandfather Trout** : Your name’s a Little, Big reference, isn’t it? Neat book.)
