Finished my 3 mile contribution gotta go log it.I hate to tell you this, but I wear sandals, sneakers & boots with kilts, but I seldom wear long socks with them.
Well... hmmm... I guess at this point without the socks, one has to get into all sorts of other qualifiers about the legs then. Is the tone good? Tanned or White skin? Too Hairy or not? Proportioned properly?
We get into an area that can be severely critiqued. So your sexiness is not entirely assured if you're sans socks, sorry to say. The socks can and do mask many a feature that just might bump you over into the "Not sexy in a kilt" field (which of course, depends on the personal criteria of the woman viewing said man in kilt sans socks).
As said previously in The Thread, I find kilts to be sexy, but they have to be worn to certain standards in my book in order to qualify for sexy. The legs would have to be exceptional to get over the "No socks" disqualifier.
Wearing boots with a kilt isn't a problem (as long as we have socks). But sandals and a kilt? Perhaps... maybe... in a Roman Legionaire kind of way... maybe. (see above point about the legs.)
If he went with the Roman Legionaire "kind of way" would you require he carry a gladius and wear a nidau helmet?
I'm down with that approach. Can someone supply the necessaries?

Most fitness people I've read say that it is the cumulative exercise over the day that counts. Since it is 1/4 mile to the office, that means you get 1/2 a mile just from that every day.It's definitely cumulative, but some minimums at a time matter. I think 15-20 minutes is usually seen as a good block of time.
The first 2-3 months I mostly ran about 14-18 minutes every day. Not much more than a mile, and not fast. Sometimes I didn't even think I'd worked out when I finished, but I was surprised how strong my lungs and legs were just from a little effort.
Some would argue that 15 min of exercise a day is more effective and better for you than 60 min all at once. The principle is spreading it out over a longer period of time. Kind of like kids - they play hard for a bit then relax for a bit then play hard then relax.
Not an argument for or against, just depends what you're measuring. Has a longer positive effect on your blood pressure that way. If you're counting calories burned, then longer and harder can be better.

It also helps to be versatile. Different forms of exercise affect different muscles and have different effects. Although I run, a repeating two laps running followed by two laps walking to extend to overall time I exercise, I also swim a couple of k's while my daughters have their lessons. One for my legs, the other for my arms.
Getting started is the hard part, but once you get into the routine you can notice the improvements in your stamina.

And greeves. Would certainly attract attention.
Dye the helmet plumes red, wear a red cloak and you're a walking advertisement.

And they'll pay for the equipment at that point, so you're all set!

Just a reminder for anyone in or near Dallas this weekend. I'll be attending A-kon 22 to promote and sign anthology copies of The Ladies of Trade Town. Here is our schedule:
“Meet The Ladies and Gentlemen of Trade Town”
Time: 2:30pm - 3:30pm
Location: Conference Center, 3rd Floor, State Room 4
Authors panel wherein we’ll introduce ourselves, talk a little about the anthology’s history, a little about our stories, and how it all came about.
“Trade Town Mass Autographing”
Time: 4:00pm - 5:00pm
Location: Conference Center - Artist Alley - HarpHaven Publishing Table
Exactly what it sounds like. We will be signing the anthology! Come and see us.
“Gala Book Launch Party”
Time: 7:00pm - 11:00pm
Location: Sheraton Hotel, 38th Floor Function Space
It’s mix, mingle, autograph for those who ask (yes, there will be a book sale table at the Launch), and generally enjoy yourself. Per our wonderful editor Lee, "I’m told there is a cake for ritual sacrifice."
I hope to see people there!

You can always call him on the phone and tell him that SQL SERVER is in trouble with WOW64. 😀
Based on the international phone code, he seems to be from India: it could get an expensive (but fun) call.

Hey, Steve (and other Prius owners), I just heard about this and wanted to pass it along:
Toyota says a problem with electric power steering is prompting a recall of about 52,000 Priuses from 2001-3 in the United States, part of a global action affecting 106,000 vehicles.

remember when power steering was an option?

What would you make of tulaichean pumps or gille brogues with a kilt then? I usually wear the latter, used to wear the former quite often but not much now, but depending on the occassion have worn sneakers, wellies, ankle boots, sandals, wrapovers, formal shoes, and flipflops with kilt - like most people, I suit footwear to the current task rather than worrying about fashion, and if the footwear is right for a given task it's right whether I'm wearing a kilt or something different.
As for socks with kilt:- short socks with casual lace-ups or ankle boots, long with wellies or formal lace-ups, and whatever (long socks, short socks, or no socks) suits the occasion (and the weather) with any of the others.
