Ted,
You may have just hit upon a new title for yourself and perhaps others....

"Capacitor of the Kilt"

For all of us who are energized by the wearing of our kilts

Cheers,

Will a kilt capacitor facilitate time travel?

No no no, that's a toga capacitor. Um... don't ask...

Of course. From this instant to the instant that is one instant in the future. We did it quite a few times while I was writing this.

Actually, I find that when wearing a kilt pin I find myself slipping two nano-seconds into the future, then back one. The effect only happens occasionally, and happens too fast for me to realize it, but I just know it's happening.

Now that you mention it I think I do this to..... Or I guess I should say that I do this two..... Two steps forward, one step backward....... Linear forward time travel can be so maturing!

What about those of us who were inducted into The Kilted Clan?

Are we accused of wearing our kilts with the wrong polarity?

If so, I guess I'm guilty as charged!!

What is my punishment? Am I to be grounded?

Alright, that's enough...

No, it isn't enough!

If your kilt is the wrong polarity, you have it on backwards. If you're not feeling grounded, you should be in a hunting version of your tartan. And no, wearing a hat made from a lamp shade that is flattened on one side doesn't count as a kilt... unless it's a white tie event...
