As Pheehelm said, if asked what is worn under the kilt, the response could either be 'Nothing, everything's in perfect working order', or 'my socks and my shoes'.
Whether a man goes commando or not under his kilt is his own business, same as you wouldn't ask a woman if she goes commando when wearing a skirt.

The main difference between the two examples would be that wearing the corset over the jumper would cause the originally intended use of the corset to be compromised, whereas the wearing (or not as the case may be) of underwear under the kilt has no effect on the intended use of the kilt.

Not really a Scotsman. Just happen to live here.

It's more than possible to wear the corset like that without ruining the intended point of the corset, but that's kind of beside the point. You're not a true Scotsman unless you don't wear anything under your kilt! Yes, I am being facetious.

...I actually did something very akin to that last one to mess with my housemates after I got home, haha.

Only one way to find out, and that involves a time machine and a bottle of whisky. Or at least really good timing.

Here's me in the Halloween costume walk thingy at work last week.
I went as a survivor of a Class III zombie outbreak, obviously.
Hard to see: the fully-stocked bugout bag on my back, complete with SAS survival guide, water filtration pump, head lamp, compass, maps, and 8 cliff bars. And yes, that's Max Brooks' Zombie Survival Guide in my right hand.

If the world was a Hollywood movie, Overdrive would be the protagonist. Seriously, I'm convinced, it's you.

My dad's side of the family had a do up at Sea World (Gold Coast) for my Detz's* 80th birthday and his and Granny's 60th anniversary. Here's a few from that:
Spoiler
My sister, her two boys and I.
Detz, my nephew and I.
The couple of the hour! (and my aunt) (edit: Oh, and me, apparently)
Also, my sister's family about to be mauled by a dinosaur.
edit: Oh, also! There was a solar eclipse in Australia the other day! I got up at 7am (the horror!) to see it, and although it wasn't a total eclipse here it was still pretty cool. Some clouds came up, but interestingly that just made it possible to see it (and take a picture of it) without needing any filters.
Spoiler
*my grandfather

Well, I haven't posted in ages. Who knows, it might be fun!
Warning: many pictures ahead.

I don't take pictures often, but I do have some. So, here they go!
Christmas last year, at my aunt's house, with one of my presents.
Spoiler
Me with my brothers (both younger than me) and my mom. At my aunt's house again. This time for my mom's 50th boirthday.
Spoiler
Helping with my youngest brother's Eagle Project for Boy Scouts.
Spoiler
At one of my best friend's wedding. I was best man. My hair was tied back for this, so I look a little different. Second from the right if you can't find me.
Spoiler
Picking my youngest brother up for the simple reason of I can.
Spoiler
Me with my longest friend, the night before he left to go on active duty two years ago. He's in the Navy, and has been in Okinawa the whole time. He's due to be out early next year.
Spoiler
And for the sake of giggles, my sixth grade Halloween costume.

I donned a tyrolean hat and a beaver pelt, and then popped a meerschaum pipe in my mouth because I love eccentricity. I'm also writing the most unpleasantly dull essay of my life, and will do anything to keep away from the accursed thing.

So apparently I have posted no pictures since the beer pong tournament.
That was months ago.
Here goes!
We had a Hallowe'en costume contest. This is me giving my victory speech after winning "Scariest Costume" (All the actual scary costumes didn't show up?)
Spoiler
The prize was a plastic purple cup shaped like a skeletal hand holding a skull, filled with delicious alcohol of some sort.
Spoiler
Spoiler
We started making a skating rink outside our rez! It's not quite working yet, but all we need to do is put the tarp over the boards and then fill it with water to freeze... once it gets cold enough again. That's me at the top.
Spoiler
2 friends came up to visit the 2 of us in Montreal!
Spoiler
The Inter-Rez Council put on a Coffee House talent show. I played violin!
Spoiler
Spoiler
Spoiler
My friend who visited left his shirt. So I made a "found item" post in the theme that our rez has decided on: put the item on your head, point at it, make a face, and take a picture. Literally every "found item" post on facebook now is a variation of this.
Spoiler
We had a rez vs rez trivia war. Which got progressively more difficult, as it was at the campus pub, which has quite affordable and good beers. We got second. I did well personally, but not as well as a few others. I'm useless when it comes to pop culture...
Spoiler
A bunch of Americans didn't go home for American Thanksgiving, so we had a small Thanksgiving dinner which was amazing. There were like, 5 Americans and a whole pile of loving Canadians, French, Brits, Turks, Egyptians and Chinese!
Spoiler
It was delicious.
Spoiler
CHRISTMAS TIME! This is most everyone in my rez! I swear I'm in this photo somewhere.
Spoiler
And this is my floor!
Spoiler
We tried to do a serious victorian-style family photo, but a few people didn't really get it...
