Some folks think I'm trying to catch Ham's kilt count. I'm not. I don't wanna.

But I am wondering where all these kilts came from.

So, I did a little review. The extent of this addiction is frightening.

I don't consider Ham a kilt addict. I consider him a kilt connoisseur.

When Ham joined this board 3/1/2004 he owned 32 kilts and had one on order. He now owns 63 kilts. That's about a kilt a month.

Me, I think I'm some kind of kilt junkie.

When I joined this board 10/4/2004 I owned four kilts and had eight on order. I now own 39 kilts and have eight on order. That's about two kilts a month.

How many times have I said, "That's it!" I have more than enough kilts. I don't need to order any more....only to see a kilt I like and have the funds to purchase it at the same time. Some sort of cosmic pull overcomes me and I order it.

I never owned 39 pairs of pants at one time!!

This new FREEDOM is addicting!

I'm sure there's a psychiatric diagnosis for this behavior. I just hope that when they take me away and lock me up for it that they'll let me take a few kilts to wear.

You new guys to kilting beware. Folks ain't joking when they talk about kilt addiction. Its real.....so is "kilt accessory compulsion."

Jeez...I never owned as many pairs of socks as I now own kilt hose. One wallet used to last for years and years....now I have a dozen assorted sporrans! And kilt pins...can't be poking holes in the kilts now...gotta have a kilt pin for every tartan kilt....at $20+ a pop that adds up.

Can I afford all this? Yes.

Am I having fun? You bettcha!

Do I really need psychiatric help for this addiction/compulsion? The jury is still out on that one...
