4) I'm waiting for someone else to tell me to "If I continue acting nice they will send me a free $25.00 kilt".
5) So much Scotch, so little time.
6) The new shop is too far away.
7) I'm waiting for fabric to arrive in the mail.
8) My dog would be lonely if I left.
9) I'm having a bad hair day.
10) It's a plot to make Kilts scarce so the price will go up.

1) Kiltmakers don't have days off
2) Oh, a plan! Gotta love that! who's turn was it to buy the Scotch...I bought the last time.
3) wear sandals and scare your old landlords
4) I'll send you the one I got in the mail from South Asia my cost is $7 for a very similar kilt Wallace Tartan you pay shipping
5) Oh so that's where my bottle of single went
6) Move it into your bedroom
7) Make one out of your shower curtain in the meantime
8) get another dog
9) pluck your eyebrows and you will be normal again
10) don't change a thing

Wiz,

I'm tuned into your Freq. I have found your concern with fabric weight to be a very cogent point when it comes to kilt construction. There is a trade off between comfort and stability in a wind. To wit, I love my Sport kilt because it's light and cool but it is a hazard in even the slightest wind. My 8 yrd 16 oz black watch hangs well and is stable in a breeze it's like a wearing a dutch oven when temparatures get above 80.

1. Yes we do... when we drop over dead.
2. Plan: Make kilts, Grow Business, take over world.
3. But he still needs to wear socks with his sandals!
4. Not touching that one.
5. No Robert... you drank that one last night. ya' lush.
6. 1 word: Hoverround
7. With the # of people who call it a "Quilt", maybe you should make a kilt from a quilt and make EVERYONE right!
8. Bring him with you.
9. Or just shave your back.
10. I couldn't do that. I need more for me!

thanks you three...best laugh i've had all day!

Well, in my opinion....hmm probably can't say that....

What I think is...umm, maybe better hold that thought....

It might help if....no, can't say that....

Maybe, if we all....boy, that'd get me in trouble...

How about, It sure is nice to kilt up on a sunny day and sally forth and have the ladies swoon when I pass and get 'atta boys' from tough looking teenage boys.

I've freed my balls....now to keep working on restraining my tongue...I can do this...I can....really....

Canada looks better and better every day....

All I can say is thank goodness for the PM section of this forum.
The electrons are bouncing off the walls right now.

Steve, I admire and respect your frankness, not only in speaking out about things, but also in admitting that you perceive yourself as a COF.
A plain speaker is a man to be respected.
A plain speaker in a kilt is a man and a half to be respected.
The CADPAT Camo which you originally built for Riverkilt attracted quite a bit of interest at the Harpenden Gathering and I was wishing I had taken a few of your cards along with me.
