    Recently my friends mother stopped referring to me as "the guy in the kilt" but rather "the guy who smokes a pipe"

    A man without a pipe is a man unprepared

    OK, I'll say it:

    This thread is worthless without pictures.

    Comment: From the BBC - by John Cleese.
    ANNOUNCEMENT

    The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats
    and have therefore raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved."

    Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or
    even "A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the
    blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been
    re-categorized from "Tiresome" to "A Bloody Nuisance." The last time the
    British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was in 1588, when
    threatened by the Spanish Armada.

    The Scots have raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to "Let's get
    the Bastards." They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they
    have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300
    years.

    The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror
    alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in France are
    "Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire
    that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the
    country's military capability.

    Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout Loudly and Excitedly" to
    "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective
    Combat Operations" and "Change Sides."

    The Germans have increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance"
    to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher
    levels: "Invade a Neighbor" and "Lose."

    Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat
    they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels .

    The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy.
    These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy
    can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.

    Australia , meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to
    "She'll be alright, Mate." Three more escalation levels remain: "Crikey!",
    "I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend", and "The barbie is cancelled. So far no situation has warranted the use of the final escalation level.

    great job!

    Shaun went through that with my dad, too. Over 15 years he has gone from "that trailer trash hoodlum" to "son." which I never understood because we met on the schoolbus - I lived 5 trailers down from him.

    ya i dont care to see a man in a skirt

    Don't call it a skirt - you might get kilt. (Seen on a tee shirt at a Highland games.)

    I would strongly advise you, NS,not to call it a skirt if you see one of these lads:

    Or one of these:

    They may not take it well.

    (Those soldiers are members of the Black Watch. They are in combat gear in that pic, but when they are not, they wear the kilt.)

    And yes, I proudly wear my kilt.

    Thought in the early morning, solace in time of woes,
    Peace in the hush of the twilight, balm ere my eyelids close
