About Klamer, he has to stop to swallow every few words, I wonder if that's just something he needs to do or if it's because that fake accent is so unnatural he can't keep it up.

Human beings are social animals, and I'm sure there's a bit of DNA coding involved in integrating into new communities and picking up the local flair to fit in.

Humans subconsciously mimic the people around us in order to empathize with them better; makes sense it would extend to trying to sound more similar too.

I'm really hoping that's just some Oktoberfest's misguided mascot, rather than some chucklehead doing that voluntarily.

I know the mascot/furry thing comes up a lot, but you can always tell the difference between them because of those loving eyes fur suits always have. Mascots might look cute or goofy or whatever fits the character, but fursuits always have that look somewhere between smug and "sultry". It always makes me think of the late eighties for some reason too.

What I really don't get about these utilikilts is the decision to make them in more "normal" colours/patterns rather than tartan. I mean, if you're wearing a tartan kilt you still look like a tool, but at least everyone knows your wearing a kilt. Wearing one of those khaki ones you just look like a dude in a skirt.

I've said this before, but I really, really think it's about the fit and the fabric. Utilikilts are made out of khaki, which doesn't drape. "Real Tartan" kilts are made out of a softer, heavier fabric that isn't so stiff. The two garments are a completely different fit. Men's shapes are like a downward V, so when they wear skirts that flare out, it doesn't complement their shape. If they wear straighter-lined skirts, they look better.

Which is a) why you don't see a lot of male models wearing Utilikilts, just men who don't know how to dress, and b) why men in straighter-lined skirts look more put-together and "right" to our brains, which are usually inundated with hypermasculine images of men, not "feminized" images of men.

Oh no!😱

There is a time and a place for a kilt. And that time and place is at a wedding at a time when you yourself are actually Scottish. And none of this "I'm celebrating my Scottish roots" bullshit either, we are talking "theoretically could play for Scotlands national team" Scottish. The wedding doesnt have to be in scotland either, but you need to be scottish, there needs to be a wedding (or other fairly formal occasion), and the kilt needs to be tartan. (No-one really gives a drat which tartan, we are fully aware that they are made up bullshit, but its been made up bullshit for long enough to become a tradition.) Otherwise you are going to look like a goddamn toolbox.

I'd also allow it if you are being actually paid to play the bagpipes. Hard enough getting paid to make that loving noise, better chance if you look the part I guess.

In Scotland a lot of women do say they like the way a guy looks in a kilt, but its like any other formal wear; A well fitting suit can make most people look relatively smart, but if you turn up on an average thursday night to the pub wearing a tux, you look like a prick rather than a suave motherfucker. And thats with a proper kilt, with a utility kilt your best comparison is one of those T-shirts with a tux printed on it. If you were gently caress-ugly and awkward before you put it on, you are going to remain gently caress-ugly and awkward with it on, just gently caress-ugly and awkward with a slightly cooler scrote. I can understand why in hotter climates they want to make the kilt out of something lighter than wool, they can actually be reasonably warm and thats in scotland. But the answer isnt to make a lighter kilt out of an uglier material, its to not wear a kilt for extended periods of time if the climate doesnt support it. Its really weird that people make utility kilts, I cant help but wonder how the germans would feel if someone made utility leiderhosen.
