Buy a kilt save a marriage

Lighten up, folks. The listing is funny. True or not, if it gets attention, it has done its job.

What gets me is that people actually spend so much on those crappy utilikilts.

Anyone found guilty of disrespecting Utilikilts will be given 10 lashes with a wet noodle!!

I do a really great, gravely demonic voice that works wonders around Halloween. Well, one day when I was in high school my parents and I were watching TV. They were on the couch and I was on the floor.

Mom was complaining about something I had done (which were never really big deals anyway and even they admit that now) and claiming that I was pure evil. So, I turned around and said, in my demonic voice, "I am the son of Satan!"

Well, within seconds and without hestitation my father blurted out "Don't call your mother that!"

She started beating him up mercilessly, slapping & punching him.

Of course, I was rolling on the floor and laughing.

I thought the whole thing was a gas! If I had a wife and called her an unholy sea hag well you can imagine

How good it is to see somebody else is NOT a fan of these Utilikilts....(or should they be reanamed 'Usillyskirts'). They bear NO resemblance to a kilt, they look as if they are modelled on a ladies pleated skirt...and POOR quality too...
Just have a look at their website and look at the stich lines...the fabric rucks, doesn't lie straight, pleats do not lie straight. All of the kilts on their site look as if the need a damn good pressing. Judging by THEIR own advertising, NOTHING would make me part with MY hard earned cash for such a POORLY finished product.

Now all products are not for all people. Utilikilts were designed for what they are.
Their pictures on their site may not be the best visually for selling the product, but they are real.
Why should you slam a product that is not just to your liking?

I suppose only a custom 8 yd kilt, made of hand loomed wool cut from a crofter's sheep, sewn up by an aging grandmother as she sits in her rocker next to a wood fire in a small house on her son's croft in the Highlands will suffice to satisfy your high standards?

...or maybe you're so traditional that it has to be a Great Kilt in order to be authentic enough for you?

Some of us, however, have both traditional styles, and Utilikilts, and we wear whatever we feel like when we get up in the morning (including pants). We like to have something we can trash around in, and then throw in the washer and dryer to wear the next day. Some have been known to sew some patches onto theirs - or tie-dyed them - or used them to go rock-hopping across boulder falls above the tree line (canvas is great for that). We're not trying to look "Scottish," or look like we just came from the old country, we're just wearing something comfortable.

The point is, there's many facets in the world of kilts. There's no need to trash something just because it's not good enough for you; there's a place for everything - although I have to agree about the "Spartan" - you'd never get me into it.

SNIP
I've found the only negative comments are from illiterate drunks and 14 year old goths.

I've only ever gotten the occaissional "cool" from the Goth kids who've seen me in my tank, but I kinda wished one *would* say something so I could turn to the 4 or 5 of them standing together and call them "conformists" . I doubt it will ever happen though-the only rude people I ever meet kilted are drunks (like you said, Verlyn), and most of them admit they wish they could bring themselves to wear one.

Bryan...the problem with thinking up snappy comebacks is that you ensure you'll never need them...

I'm in the buckle of the bible belt...consrvatives are running rampant in the streets. I've got two options as to what is going on here

1. He married satan. He needs an excorcism as quick as possible to save the world from complete destruction.

or...

2. He bought the wrong size UK and can't return it for one reason or another.

I'll let the public decide this one.

Certainly the truth is being stretched. I wonder what kind of paint-ball gun you get for $500.

This kind, I guess. If the $150 kilt caused a problem with his "wife" at Christmas, I wonder what kind of problem this caused?
