Do you want to go home with a broken hand?

Last night out in the hood, the kilt was a hit. I have never, ever, seen somebody wearing one in Houston. Why don't I get hit on wearing jeans? At least I got two Heinekins out of it. No cat calls, several where did you get it, lots of "hey, cool kilt". All good for the ego, but SHG was there so I was kind of oblivious. *sigh*

The black boots worked, but it was too skin-head meets Braveheart... the lower-cut brown boots with a simple earth-tone t-shirt's got the edge.

Best Questions:
Is that a Utilikilt? Why, yes, it is. I have one, I love it. Well, do you wear it?
Top answers: Just around the house. No. Only to the Renn Fair. Only at the Pride Parade.

Why are you wearing that?
- I hate wearing pants.

What do you have on under that?
- What do you think? Well, I would need to wear some underwear. Well, that pretty much defeats the entire purpose, doesn't it? I mean, it's not a skirt. If you're looking for a fashion statement you might as well do drag.
- C.R. (if you don't know what that is, never mind.) Can I see? No.

Can I lift your kilt?
- You want to go home with a broken hand?

But the BEST was this guy who chatted me up and then moved on to SHG's outta town guest, C. This guy has one, wore it in Australia (as will I!), seemed cool. I wandered off for a while, the SHG came to hide with me... because this guy went on to talk about how he grew up on a ranch, or has one or something, and there was a bull or a horse or something with a really huge, err, stiff pee pee, that he had to tie up around it because it was dragging on the ground...it was surreal... C. is too nice to exit gracefully, let alone with a "dude, that's f'd up".

Reminded me of when one of my roommates in college used to explain how he had to tuck his into his sock.
