...So you HAD to look didn't you!
- OK...
Don't look yer Majesty! (Unless you want to!)
Colonel Simon West of the 1st Battalion of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders sat proudly in the front row of the 1st Battalion of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, next to the Queen on Nov 9th 2004. She was visiting the battalion at Howe Barracks in Canterbury, Kent, to present medals after their recent tour of duty in Iraq.
According to About.com: "two different versions of this photo exist, one more revealing than the other, it's a safe bet the image has been manipulated. What we can't determine with any certainty is which of the two was the original."
These sorts of kilt flashings rarely take place of course, that's what gets our attention, why we smile when they do, but for the Nanny State and the prudes among us something must be done lest the people be offended by our naughty bits given us by God! Hence:
-
The Scottish Tartans Authority, [an organization of prudish conformists] which provides guidance for Scottish traditions, says that it’s time for kilt-wearers to begin wearing underpants:
The Scottish Tartans Authority has decreed that refusing to put on underwear beneath a kilt is “childish and unhygienic”.
It also warned that “going commando” flies in the face of decency.
Tartans Authority director Brian Wilton said kilt wearers should have the “common sense” to realise they should wear underwear beneath their country’s national dress.
Think of the history and tradition with going commando! Stand proud and strong always!
Kilts are very patriotic at flag raising ceremonies
April 24, 1997, Hong Kong -- Lance Corporal Lee Wotherspoon of the Black Watch (RHR) lowers the Union Jack as the wind raises his kilt at the daily lowering of the flag at Hong Kong's Cenotaph prior to the former British Colony being handed over to China on July 1, 1997.
Apparently, he received romantic letters from several women and a few men around the world admiring his attributes --
reportedly he was rebuked by his commander only because his sock-tops were not level. **
A couple of respectable Scotsmen hanging out... so to speak...
A bit of a close-up at what won first price. Smile for the camera!
Take me out to the ball game...
What's that on the floor... Let me see...
'Tis a glorious day for a man at sea!
Besides, kilts are fun for everyone!
Imagine doing a Marilyn while on parade!
Some guys cheat and some don't -- BUT real men wear nothing under the kilt!
But the Homeland Security Spy Cams could be a problem!
Can't you just feel the surge of patriotism?
The rule against wearing anything under the kilt was once so strict that until World War II inspections of Black Watch troops included having them step on a mirror. For officers, violating the rule cost the offender a bottle of port. Now the under-the-kilt dress is optional, but options don't come easily to men who believe in tradition – most highland kilted soldiers go “regimental”. **
Pull you're head out of your butt!
I warned you!
