OK, just for the sake of putting this whole discussion to well-deserved rest, let me just say, Bill, that I have it from a costumer of the period that underwear in any form is a very new invention. Layers of chemises under ladies dresses, yes. Bloomers, no. They weren't invented until 1850. Nothing under kilts. Nothing under trousers. However, just to keep your imagination from running amok with any more hideous imagery, it wouldn't seem to me that personal hygiene would be ignored to THAT extent, even given the lack of bloomers, drawers, jockeys, bikinis, or thongs. While every house wasn't stocked with cans of Right-Guard and people didn't take bathes with great regularity, I can't imagine they didn't practice at least rudimentary cleanliness.
Now, can we think about what's goin' on ABOVE the kilt for a bit, instead of what's happenin' UNDER it? Just for something "completely different," as John Cleese would say? PUH-LEEEEEEEEZE????
Anyone seen GnomeDome lately? But, no, you wouldn't have, would you...bein' as how he's INVISIBLE an' all!!! What's he up to, Bill??
