Y'all folks are like a disease!

[Father Bill]

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?

Well, my darling and beautiful wife loves to say that even life itself... "...is a sexually transmitted terminal disease." Hm.

The disease of kilt addiction causes our underwear to slough off....

I much prefer the way my kinsman and fellow alabamian, Hank Williams Sr, put it in his song.

No matter how I struggle and strive.
I'll never get out of this world alive.

An' it's true, too!

(Doctor hat off.)

If you desire to look at the urge to wear the kilt as a disease, then look at the purchasing of a kilt and other kit as a salve for the cutaneous manifestations of that disease, but realize that those purchases are only a superficial surface treatment for a systemic more than skin deep affliction, that will require continued purchases as ongoing maintenance therapy. Although possibly curable, it is far more likely that the cost and effort needed for effective therapy will be far greater than the simple maintenance costs, and one still gets to enjoy the other benefits of the affliction, i.e., wearing of the kilt.

I've contracted it too - a Wallace tartan is making its way to me as I speak, just a week after I was discouraged from wearing the kilt by family... The kilt bug burrowed under my skin and laid its eggs in my heart :mrgreen:

See, it's a veritable epidemic. Before long it'll be a pandemic and there will be some of y'all slipping off and wearing pants. ;)

If you're gonna get a disease its a good one to get....

Some might even say its a wise investment since most hand sewn kilts and quality kilt gear retain their value. Safe from the wild ride and con games of the stock market and real estate....

It sounds good to me! I think it is catching.....

But just what is "jonesing"? I am new and I think that x marks need a dictionary.... It took me quite a while to figure out just what "jocking" a bonnet was.

There are definitions in the FAQ.
The "jones" is the waiting for an item to arive or be made etc.
