Y'all folks are like a disease!

[Gryphon noir]

I've only been here a little while and I have already contracted a serious case of jonesing. I am very close to sealing a deal on a kilt. I have contacted artificer about a sporran. Made an order from both stillwater and Rocky. I am getting visions of a mackie bonnet in my near future. I've made a couple inquiries into custom clan badges as well as to another sporran maker. I'm a very sick man!

I tell you, there isn't a 12-step program for kilt wearers, because we all enjoy our addiction. You will have to live with your condition. After you have gone through your initial phase of trying out various types of kilt, you will start to settle on what you like, sell a bunch of kilts (I admit, I have become a pusher) thus allowing others to become addicted without spending a lot of money.
I'm now moving into the next phase. I have designed my own tartan and had it woven, and now I'm looking at replacing perfectly good kilts with the specific styles I like, and even considering custom weaves.
Others get into actually making kilts; still others can't keep themselves from creating sporrans, bonnets and even sgian dubhs.

Abandon all hope of normalicy, brother, we're doomed to nonconformity.

FREEDOM!

It's terrible isn't it? The worst is - there is no cure. Oh sure, they say they are looking for a cure. They say a breakthrough is just around the corner. And then another tartan pops up and all the good work is gone.

Oh well, lack-a-day and rue.

I think I will have another look at those hose.

No, no. I like disease.

If it's going to be a disease, we need a name and recommended course of treatment.

Welcome to the addiction.

Resistance is futile!

A short while after I started my kilt wearing, my daughter's father-in-law expressed the opinion that it was an expression of a mid-life crisis. My wife said, "Well, if so, it's less trouble and expense than a little red sports car and a mistress!"

You can sink knee-deep into your addiction tonight at the Burns Supper. Expect to come away with no cure.

May we X Marks-ites and the love of things "kilty" kindly be reclassified from the category of "disease" to something less horrific?

In this instance, veritably all of life has been spent privately feeling "outside the lowing herd."

"Need" to be a true dilettante, experiment with and dabble in varied pastimes, hobbies, pursue multiple fields of education...

...wear the kilt...

...feels less a "disease" than merely another aspect of seeking and ultimately being one's true self.

After all, "Who would you be" if there was no societal criticism of your benign self-expression?

Your wife is a gem.
