Basketball Jones haha!!!!

Pants is only a present tense verb here. I once panted, but it's all cool now.

The wait is over!!
My kilt was on the front porch Saturday. It is exquisite. Thanks Mac. Wore it to the movies Sunday. My wife said it was worth every penny which really surprised me because she is chronically chea...I mean thrifty. Anyhow received only one comment, a young man maybe 18 yo with a mohawk said "I love your kilt sir".

I find the best thing about kilts is, even described in detail, it's better when in photo or in person. Always enjoy and admire a kilt pleated to the sett. Good for you (mildly sorry for the O. C. D.)

Jonesing is British and according to the Cambridge dictionary means Wanting the good expensive and exclusive things that the neighbours (here the Family Jones)
have. "Keeping up with the Jones's" is the correct term of speech.
