I'm all in favor of a new phrase, but "up yer kilt" sounds sort of dirty. What does one do, once up someones kilt? And why has everyone misplaced their pants? And the idea of a leather kilt is probably too much even for people who actually make sex toys...
Is this really the road we want to take the newbies down?

Apple releases the iPod nano ... no mixing this up with the whole "Up yer kilt" or "What's under your kilt" thing...

It doesn't make me think of anything dirty. It makes me think of the summer I spent as a professional tumbler in Myanmar. And pants. It also makes me think of pants.

It makes me think of the gal who lived across from me when I still lived in Los Angeles.

Completely unrelated: That sentence makes me think of when I was, like, six and whoever ordered my tee-ball team's uniforms goofed up. We were supposed to be the "Angels". Instead we were the "Angles".
Anyway.

Hah! Thanks. :)

And wouldn't it be funny if there was a town called Los Angles?

Ben Hammersly is the "TheAntiScoble" here, and he was wearing a kilt during Reboot :)

OK...If you're going to promise Geeks in Kilts...please deliver Geeks in Kilts. A fuzzy shot of a projection screen does not a good laugh make.
=)
And Mark, Up yer kilt!

Didn't have my PowerBook back then, so no :)

See, Ray? I told you this would confuse people.

Someone pooped in Jason's oatmeal, that's all.

My Wife has been trying to get me to wear a Utilikilt for the longest time.
After what Jason just wrote, it will be a cold day in Hell before any passing miniature dog gets a view of my British Burrito!

A kilt with cargo pockets. Whoever invented that wasn't bolted together right. I'm getting one.

Sweet. That was the second mention of Utilikilts in the TextDrive forum.

There used to be a guy on TechTV who wore one regularly (Patrick Norton?) and 'er indoors went all gooey eyed and hasn't stopped nagging ever since. I secretly quite like them but the little 'drop-kickable' dogs are a worry!
Jason, I truly got it in Britain but only found out what it was when I moved here. There was no label on it!
I just went to their website and the cuinning bastards have discovered the ultimate advertising ploy for the likes of me. At the end of their spiel about the 'Survival Kilt' they say this:
"The maximum capacity on this kilt, is twenty bottles of the survival beverage of your choice, six in the front, slant pockets, ten in the cargo's, and four in the rear."
Now I have to wonder if it is possible to ride a motorcycle while wearing one. I am used to getting bugs in my face but in my Chalupa? Jeez!

Is this still about a "British Burrito"?

Nothing better than HP on anything. It's what makes Britain Great! Seriously though, some of the cuisine in the UK leaves a little to be desired, hence strong tasting concoctions like HP. I'm getting hungry!

I was talking about the ginger tuber. It has fingers. And it tastes great. But I do love the fact that people also have it for a name.
Oh, wow. Totally kidding about the high school nickname thing. If you ever see me sayin' anything about high school nicknames, it's probably a joke, because I've had the same damn nickname since I was, like, a gastrula.
Anyway, ginger rules. Buy fresh! Candied ginger is good snackin', but you shouldn't really be cooking with it, unless you're makin' ginger snaps or something, but I guess that's technically baking. (Man oh man I hope somebody calls bullshit on that because I really wanna see a recipe for a savory dish that uses candied ginger. I've only seen a few and those were dodgy.)
