On one of the shows they had “kilt day.” Gak! This came up in the conversation on the Twit podcast. Looks like skirts to me.

Thanks to Wil Harris for the find. Who could resist the post?

    Blackmail? Hardly. I think Patrick will actually pay you to *show* people that photo. Martin might buy you a beer to delete this post though. 🙂

    And yes. They look like skirts. 😉

  2. doug says:

    Hasn’t Martin Sargent pretty much opted out of the TechTV allumni organization? I never hear him on TWiT or any of the other podcasts.

  3. Roger M says:

    Patrick Norton seems to be more like a one legged pirate to me. Aaaaarrrrrrrhhhhh.
    Me thinks he’s a “born to be president” of the Swedish Pirate Party.
    Trust me; If I lived there, I’d vote for him 🙂
    Maybe he’s willing to migrate?

    and were all the girls and boys wearing their kilts with the proper under kilt attire…or should i say….lack of it.

  5. Ben May says:

    Haha.. Classic! Great Pic

  6. RTaylor says:

    As well as myself, some people needs to wear pants. It seems like Laporte is a bit too thrilled with his new found freedom.;)

  7. Pete says:

    Those aren’t kilts they’re skirts lol 🙂

  8. Paul says:

    I don’t remember… Did Kevin Rose ever get caught in one of those things?

    He’d be the only one with enough money to blackmail anyway.

    I guess diggnation antics probably put him beyond the grasp of casual blackmailers like you or eye.

  9. James Hill says:

    Martin almost looks sane in that picture.

    Almost.

  10. Ben Lewitt says:

    John, whatever happened to that picture of Patrick where you Photoshoped him into looking like a ’30s B&W film star? You mentioned you’d post it in an episode of TWiT and either I missed it or you never got around to it.

  11. Alsatia says:

    Ah, memories!! My (now) husband and I spent a lot of time watching ZDTV & TechTV. Good times. Good times.

    Remember the Bod Pod episode of TSS? There are far more embarassing photos of Martin floating around, I think! 🙂

  12. Wolfman says:

    Patrick’s the only one who can ALMOST pull the look off.

  13. catbeller says:

    I love those guys 🙂

  14. catbeller says:

    It just occurs — doesn’t Patrick look like an archetypical Lazarus Long? There should be a blaster strapped on his right thigh and a combat knife on the left.

    “Life is short, but the years are long–“

  15. Anon says:

    Norton can pull it off because you are just as likely to see him hoist an engine block and a muffler over his shoulder as see him wearing a kilt.

  16. ioiosotwig says:

    For some reason, I don’t think Patrick would get much lip if he wore a kilt in a bar…

    When he was only three…

    Davey…. Davey Crockett… oops! I wandered a bit!

  17. Ed says:

    Being a post-Tech TV newbie, could anyone add a list of names to the photographs? Got Patrick and Leo figured out, but the rest…? Don’t know who this Martin person is that folks are referring to (although by process of elimination it’s clear what he looks like in the pic).

  18. Angel H. Wong says:

    I would love to peek under the guys’ kilt 😉

  19. John Paradox says:

    L -> R
    ????(don’t recoginze her)
    Morgan Webb (now on XPlay on G4)
    Megan Morrone (sp?)
    Patrick
    ?? is that Kat Schwartz
    Martin Sargent
    Leo

  20. John Paradox says:

    I would love to peek under the guys’ kilt

    You should listen to TWiT… Leo did a ‘spin’….

  21. J. Doe says:

    Still bitter about G4 Microsofting TechTV 🙁

  22. moss says:

    John — you used to tell us our Silicon Spin mugs were worth $200 on eBay. I wonder what are they worth, nowadays?

  23. @$tr0Gh0$t says:

    If you want to know who Martin is you can go to http://www.revision3.com and dowload his podcast, at least I believe its him. He also appeared on an several episodes of DL.TV when they went to CES earlier this year, he said something about having sex with pigeons…

  24. Rob Leather says:

    Cripes! No, really… they ARE skirts. Aren’t kilts meant to have a tartan pattern on them?

    From what I understand from Twit.tv’s podcast, Leo nearly flashed his sporran!

  25. Rob Leather says:

    Actually, forget the skirts! The in Leo wearing on top!? Is his shirt tuned to static?

    I can’t help but think that this digital camera burned up shortly after taking this picture….

    I mean is the lack of image degradation caused by having to compress the image into a certain size. It’s like 15520 bytes in size and 12000 bytes are on Leo’s shirt!

  26. Theowne says:

    —-“””Hasn’t Martin Sargent pretty much opted out of the TechTV allumni organization? I never hear him on TWiT or any of the other podcasts.”””—

    Well he did appear on DLTV doing entertaining CES coverage.

  27. Ed says:

    It’s not a tartan kilt, it’s a UtiliKilt –
    http://utilikilts.com/index.htm
    and they were all the rage for about 3 months back in the day…

    Oh, and Martin Sargent’s blog is…
    http://www.sargeworld.com/
    …should anyone care.

  28. Stu says:

    Be Proud of Ye Kilt. I like that the women don’t have tartans to match the men’s clans. SUPER:P

  29. Jesse R says:

    I were is Jesica Corbin?

  30. Dave says:

    Martin Sargent has a podcast that hosted over on Kevin Rose’s Revision3 site called “Infected”
