If I recall correctly, the assumption is that whoever makes peace in the Middle East (which will have to include the Jews, since they will finally have a homeland again) will be the Anti-Christ. I doubt it'll ever happen.

Suddenly I understand why everyone thought Blair was front-runner for that role. Try and keep him on TV (but not ours) or busy at Yale.

Blair planted Palin?   this is how rumours start

I watched Name of the Rose for the umpteenth time and the book's better anyway last night. We need to find Aristotles lost book on laughter urgently - I don't believe there was ever only one copy.

I watched a(nother*) Korean movie on a similar topic yesterday.
The book sought for there were the health records of the candidate
Btw, those old Koreans were obviously quite fond of enhanced interrogation techniques and abstinence only education.

I admit I had trouble getting a kilt big enough, and the sporran is rather capacious as well.

Sir Scot-- ye be veeery careful where ye puts ye sporran while ye be drivin-- many a fella parks it on the hip whilst driving so that it is out of the way of the steering wheel-- which gives the local constabulary a bit of an eyeful during traffic stops.   

Do kilts in America have a hole behind the sporran? Or are they shorter than the Scottish version? Sliding the sporran round is commonly done for the dancing, to avoid the weight of a decorative sporran, full of wallet, car keys and all the loose change you have managed not to spend descending on a vulnerable part of the anatomy, restrained in it's swing as the sporran is by the little metal chains. A mistake made only once.....

I'm not familiar with fly openings in US kilts, nor have I heard any of my kilt-watching friends reporting on such a phenomenon...

However, utilikilts are growing in popularity. I spotted some in quite novel materials in Denver. Not here, alas...

You have kilt-watching friends? Is that some sort of club? Sounds suspicious to me....

Power leafblowers. (Ask Jennie of DP fame. http://www.thedevilspanties.com/    ) Just look for kilt-related material...

I suppose if some wear traditional open kilts they might be exposed-- kilt watching parties-very interesting idea.

And yes one must be aware of  the sporran placement/wearing while dancing, running, etc-- I'm sure there have been trips to hospital due to them.

mini-kilts! That's just wrong-- on so many levels

How does the song go?
The one that ends
"lad, don't know where ye've been ; but I see you won first prize."

The Scotsman Song
Well, a Scotsman clad in kilt once left a bar one evening fair,
And one could tell by how he walked that he'd drunk more than his share.
He fumbled 'round until he could no longer keep his feet.
Then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street.

Ring ding diddle iddle i de o,
Ring die diddley i o.
He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street..

About that time two young and lovely girls just happened by.
One said to the other with a twinkle in her eye.
See yon sleeping Scotsman so strong and handsome built.
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt.

Ring ding diddle iddle i de o,
Ring die diddley i o.
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt.

They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be,
Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see.
And there behold for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt,
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth.

Ring ding diddle iddle i de o,
Ring die diddley i o.
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth.

They marveled for a moment and then one said we must be gone.
Let's leave a present for our friend before we move along.
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow,
Around the bonnie star the Scot's kilt did lift and show.

Ring ding diddle iddle i de o,
Ring die diddley i o.
Around the bonnie star the Scot's kilt did lift and show.

Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled toward the trees.
Behind the bush he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees.
And in a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes,
Oh! lad I don't know where you've been but I see you won first prize.

Ring ding diddle iddle i de o,
Ring die diddley i o.
Oh! lad I don't know where you've been but I see you won first prize
