Terminalcoffee discussion

Oddly enough I just noticed that this company is following me on Twitter:

http://www.utilikilts.com/

I like the idea except for two things:
1. I would be scared to wear this in front of every construction worker that I have ever known.
2. The whole accidentally looking up the ladder thing seems too uncomfortable to even think about.

Why would they follow you on twitter, Tad? Do they see you as a possible spokesmodel?

I have no idea! I don't think I have even mentioned kilts in my very sporadic tweets. I might consider being a spokesmodel as long as they didn't make me wax my legs or go to a tanning booth.

ok tad, a twitter-bot check. i will tweet something about wearing a kilt and see if i get stalked

I'm not on board with kilts.

Seriously, Bunny? Like, in real life you find a man in a kilt sexy?

I wish more me would wear kilts. The ones i'm thinking of have nice legs.

If only my skirts would allow me to carry everything I need...

I first saw utilitkilts about six years ago. One of my friends bought one, but never wore it in front of me. So what did he wear under it? The world may never know.

They only st tarted wearing kilts in Scotland when they stopped wearing woad.
Woad, incidentally, can be rather fetching. It is, however, a bit chilly.

they have some pretty cool picture on that side of all the things you can do while wearing a utilikilt. show off your hairy legs, ask nuns for directions, surf, get married, golf, spin on the death wheel, play a guitar, do manly things, hoola hoop, the possibilities are endless.

i use the chainsaw and work on transmissions in my kilt.

You have transmissions in your kilt?

TWSS

...sorry...had to be done...:)

Well, yah!

Since we are on the topic of kilts...

Just thought I should put that out there.

That's like a big sign that says "Do NOT want Blow Job."

(yes I know he's a famous twit)

You mean from the opposite sex, right?

One uneven seam in the sidewalk could mess up the rest of that guy's day.

yeah, i have a reg kilt. i always have the dilemma of what shoes to wear with it. usually i go with work boots. i think i am inspired to wear my kilt sometime soon

"For dressing up, you should approximate formal Highland dress with knee-highs, spats, and dress shoes. For dressing down, wear boots."

Also, for some reason, I always picture Kevin like this in my mind (no joke - maybe I've read too much of his blog):

It always comes across as trying-too-hard-to-prove-my-how-open-minded-I-am when I see them in person. I guess it's alright in pictures but I never go, "ohh, hot guy in a kilt."

That's because most guys who wear kilts just don't do it right. You can't just throw on a kilt.... just like a gal can't just throw on any skirt.

Imagine a hip-hugging, bum-skimming Whoooosh of a skirt worn by the right gal. Then imagine that same size of skirt on a pretty gal that's 8 pounds too heavy in the hips to be wearing it.

It's the same with kilts. The cut has to be right - it has to skim the legs just-so, ending at a length that makes the guy look taller. The tops of the pleats have to hint at the muscled buttocks concealed beneath (even if there are none). And color and decoration choice should also complement rather than detract from the dude.

Right, Kevin? ;)

Shirt tucked. CHECK.
Socks up (or are those really really tight boots?). CHECK.
Derrière sweetly emphasized. CHECK.
Colors - complimentary. CHECK.
Hips - swaying with the caber. CHECK! CHECK! CHECK!!!!!

You look good to me, too, Kevin. I think any guy able to lug a caber around is going to look okay in a kilt. :)

Ok, you look hot. I admit it. But it's only because your arms are nice enough that I can ignore the skirt.

Lookin' good there, mister. But how the heck do you manage to lift that thing?

Admit it Gretchen... you at least glanced at his lovely legs. ;)

ha! looking good in my work boots and high socks eh?

ashley - it is pretty heavy. not sure how much. they stand it up against you and then you are on your own. you lean it back against your shoulder and reach down and get your hands around the bottom and stand up. the hard part is balancing it until you throw it. you lean your shoulder into it to get it moving and then you try to flip it end over end. you can see how i sucked at it. i was the smallest and oldest guy in the competition though :)

I think a guy in a kilt is pretty damn hot. Qualifying that: a hot guy in a kilt is pretty damn hot.

Kevin, you did it right.

Seriously, Zen, no. I tried to look at the legs on that last close-up but couldn't tear myself away from the arms. Great arms, Kevin.
