Kiltoholics Anonymous

[CDNSushi]

Hi, my name is Jim... And I'm a kiltoholic.

I first started to realize that I might have a problem when, for the first time, last week I received my very first, "Why aren't you wearing a kilt today?" question from a friend. And then, yesterday, my wife, upon seeing me in my UK Original, said, "Looks like we should get you another Utilikilt pretty soon -- they're just perfect for kicking around in on the weekends, huh?" That's when I realized that I have a kiltohol problem.

I can't walk down the street anymore and look at a plaid pattern and start thinking about whether a kilt made from it would look better pleated to the sett or to the stripe. I find myself surfing the net for kilt websites. Some days I wonder if I'll wake up in the morning and find my skin has turned into a MacLaren Ancient tartan.

Excuse me now.. I have to go find me some more kiltohol.


(For those who aren't quite sure, this post was written 100% tongue-firmly-in-cheek. Except for the comments by my wife and friendss Those really did happen.)

Man this is bad!? My oldest son, Sean, dropped in for the night (from Tucson) and tried my other son, Colin's sk casual. So now this a.m. I am taking measurements for Sean's Christmas present, all the while justifying to myself the need for another for me. So I must confess, I have now completed steps 1-4 x2.

KA would be about as useful as CA (Chocaholics Anon). Why would anyone want to quit?
