Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Did someone try to have couple friendly bouts of martial arts? If so who kicked whose A**?? 😀

    The only *** kicked was mine when I got on stage with Paul Randal & Kimberly Tripp. It was quite embarassing. I got one answer right.

  • I got lots of head shaking all day with mine, and then some funny looks walking around town later.

    However quite a few people said they'd wear then next year. we'll see.

    I'm game to wear one next year, if I can make it to the summit, even though it doesn't fit in with my French heritage.

    Like it works when you're German/English. It doesn't matter. Don't worry about tartan. Get a kilt. Wednesday again next year.

    I don't think the orignal reference meant Mental Health.

    Remember, if I'm not mistaken, a properly worn kilt is worn with knee high socks. This reduces the shock factor.

  • Ouch, that was not the image I was trying to present. At the PASS Board discussion, Mr. Webb specifically asked me to sit in the back row :w00t::w00t:

    check out SportKilt if you're coming next year. Reasonable prices. I got knee high green socks to go with my green tartan.

  • I got one answer right.

    Wasn't that answer "The SQL Server Central Intelligence Agency"?

    I just had a visual of men wearing black suit coats, dark glasses, and kilts..... not pretty.
