An unusual kiltmaking opportunity
The coffee place at work is manned by thre Hispanic guys and one Causasian fellow. I'm an good terms with them, and we joke around a lot. However, the tartan kilt thing is not qite..shall we say...within the Hispanic guys cultural context. The two that speak english refuse to learn the word, Kilt, and persist in calling it a skirt.
I could get annoyed about it, but honestly, it's not an issue. What they think has no effect on my life. However, recently the boss has started joking around about how he wants one for one of the other guys....the one that doesn't speak english. The first 4-5 times I just laughed it off, but he's kept at it. I'm starting to wonder if he's serious.
So today I said "If you get me his measurements, I'll make him a Camouflage kilt".
When I'll have TIME for this, I have no idea, but I've been meaning to get a few yards of camo for an X-Kilt for myself and Panache, so maybe I'll buy a couple more yards for this guy if the boss actually coughs up his measurements.
I think next week, I will make arrangements to bring the 16 lb hammer, the 28 pound weight and the 16 pound stone to work, and invite the guys to come out an throw with the guy in the "skirt" right after they go off shift.
