A new, simply fabulous phrase: the 50-yard kilt

[Bugbear]

That is funny.

Wow, I didn't realize how high my standards were. . . back in September when I spoke of making 5-foot kilts. . .*




*Those are the hand-sewns -- put me on a machine, and I'll hand you the magnifying glass to check out FlamingoKilts!

I can just see the new "X Marks Kilt Rating System" now.


1 yard Kilt - An Authentic Tewksbury
5 yard Kilt - Pretty darn good Kilt
10 yard Kilt - A good attempt at Kiltmaking
25 yard Kilt - Did you spend money for that?
50 yard Kilt - No, your not 50 yards away yet, keep going.

Then such ratings as;

As pleasant as Robert.
Customer service almost as good as Rocky.
Shipping slightly slower than Jerry.
Didn't yell at me as much as Steve.

Then when the new Kilt owner posts a picture they can say things like;

My Hamish Mark II pose
My Derek cutout
My shabby attempt at a Panache (But then, any attempt to emulate Panache would be shabby at best.)
