The Temptation of Panache : What should he do?

[Panache]

Well for a bunch of kiltoholics I'm surprised how many of you would urge me toward a wetsuit!

I just went down to the grocery store and cashed in my loose change in one of those machines to see how much I really had. My total was about $45. Not quite enough for the suit I had been eyeing but I thought I would figure out what my size was and then wait a week or two.

So I went down to Play it Again Sports to do a bit more research and found a used but perfect condition half wetsuit in my size for $29.99

It seemed like a good deal so I bought it.

The brand is "Body Glove"

I came home and tried it on and it was a good fit. Standing there in front of the mirror I couldn't help but pick up my new boogie board and speculate if this might be considered an early mid life crisis

I do know that it will be fun to start bugging Sinbad and Xena with "When can we go the beach? I want to go to the beach? Can we go to the beach?"
(this is what they often do to me and my lovely F-H.C.A.G.)

Thanks for all the input folks

Pictures certainly not to follow!

Cheers

No Picture from Panache wearing his new wet suit?! Shocking!

[Panache]

You did read the bit where he said he was 41?

HEY!

I have a solution, offer some of the sporrans, do you need 9 sporrans? for sale, and maybe get both.

Perchance Sir have you been talking with my lovely wife?

For the record...

Yes, I need my nine sporrans!

(Will it work with a flat cap?)

Somewhere in the Highlands of Scotland, Jock Scot twitches and reaches for his gun...

You forgot a wetsuit "pro": Neoprene is sexy. So I propose you try a well-fitting one on in the company of your ravishing wife and let her decide.

I had not thought of this!

I fear we will get to see Jamie in a full body cast after he breaks a lot of bones trying to boogie board. I am, after all, a good deaL older than Panache, but I do know that at 41 I did not bounce the way I did at 21. He sounds like a good candidate for a broken hip.

HEY!

...With all that being said...make sure your suit and fins don't make you look like a seal! And if you wonder why...go down to the little lighthouse museum on the overlook point and check out the board with the great big teeth marks in it. We love having you on the forum, so avoid those big whites

How does one "not look like a seal" ?

Finally, remember not to mix-up language conventions. "Dude" and "gnarly" don't see quite as appropriate at highland games

Does this work the other way as well?

I'm worried that I might seem out of place saying:

"Excuse me Sir, were you planning on taking yon upcoming wave? If not I should be quite happy to take this opportunity to take advantage of it."

$15 left....hmmm..... accessories...neoprene pith helmet!

Don't tempt me Robert!
