Oooooh dear ...

Apparently, an American school principal told a lad to go home and change because his kilt could be misconstrued as crossdressing.

A local news source on the story includes this helpful line:
Kilts are traditional Scottish apparel, generally worn by men, often for formal or special occasions.
and some interesting comments.

But this source has the best picture editor ...

Dear bubba, that last link could stand as a birthday present to you! Have a very happy one, eynhashofet , you deserve it!

And silenceofcedars , I hope that the cake and good wishes fairy has rolled up to your house a little pleasantly tipsy and settled in for the duration.

I'm just waiting for the inevitable visit from Sean Connery and Billy Connolly ... I hope the principal is a fast runner, though they've both slowed down a bit with age.

That's okay. They're both still pretty to look at.

And you'd not want to face the two of them in an argument ...

I would, however, LOVE to be in the room to see it! ;)

*g* or we could send Ewan MacGregor or David Tennant or Billy Boyd or even John Barrowman (a Glaswegian with an American accent) Thanks for the piccies and a smooch from Bonnie Scotland.

If you chaps are sending out David Tennant to settle disputes these days, I will happily start one! *Smooches back!*

[quill-lumos.livejournal.com]

I believe he only comes out for kilt-based disputes, or anything involving pan-Galactic warfare.

He is seriously gorgous though isn't he?

*huggles*

I am allowed to leave Mr Brammers for him, because he understands that it is not reasonable to expect me to resist. Gorgeous, smart and funny, AND a tragic about the only TV show I have ever loved.

(Mr Brammers is allowed to leave me for Kylie Minogue, who I have met, and she is actually extremely charming.)

And perky, don't forget perky.

I think any of us are allowed to leave our husbands for David Tennant. It's actually a law in Scotland.

BTW, follow the link to see the delectable David in a kilt http://www.kiltmen.com/celeb-david_tennant.JPG

*hands you shortbread and whisky and a tartan Nessie to snuggle*

That was the perfect start to the day, and to end it, there was a repeat of the old Foyle's War episode he appeared in -- lovely!

*snuggles tartan Nessie, guzzles shortbread and whisky, has nap ...*

Cilian Murphy might be convinved to join that co-hort. It would be worth asking.
I think one of Barrowman's filkd is a Scot the other an American?
