Did somebody say "Lumberjack?"

That's my cue!

Hey, not my fault the buttheads keep picking fights.

Sure I seem to be taking a minority position, but I've supported every thing I said. If you weren't paying attention, I was also careful to qualify my every position in 2 different ways, one by openly admitting everything I said was *not* universally applicable (I even explained why) and also by being up front about admitting my biases, so people could evaluate my statements in light of that.

But the haters just gotta hate. And lose arguments. :lol:

Think the English would be up for any kind of family tweeds? I'm sure there's a pattern in there that would work for my family.

Lots of English estates have estate tweeds. No reason why you couldn't have one made. I can recommend http://www.islaywoollenmill.co.uk/

If you sell crafts in one of the craft booths at the Scottish Games here in America the other sellers (crafters? Crofters?) will tell you that you'll sell more if you wear a kilt. Dunno if that's true or if they just don't want to be the only guys wearing kilts in the vendor row. :)
The use of the word "but" usually indicates that everything preceding it in a sentence is a lie.
E.g.:
"I believe in Freedom of Speech, but". . .
"I support the Second Amendment, but". . .
