That'll teach you to drink soda. Beer wouldn't have left you so willingly.
I didn't even catch the double entendre until I was proofreading my post. At that point, I had to let it go. We do have standards to maintain here.

"That's a Utilikilt isn't it? I really like those!"

I don't wear UKs, But I do wear BKs as well as wool kilts. I am over here in between AJ and east Mesa, and most of the check out people at the stores and just people in general say something like "Nice Kilt" or something. I know there are other BK kakhi wearers out here because people tell me that they see them from time to time at the Homedepot and Lowes. I do get asked if I'm Scottish a lot, but that's OK... I guess I kind of am through the family past. It's very nice to have someone tell you that you look good in a kilt while standing in the grocery line or something.
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

I actually live in Queen Creek but do most of my shopping in Gilbert because Queen Creek is too new to have many stores.

I get asked ALL THE TIME if I am Scottish. I was in a checkout line at Target and the lady checker asked, "Is that a kilt?" I answered, "Yes, but I'm not Scottish." She gave me a blank look and said, "I didn't think you needed to be Scottish, I thought guys just wore them because they were comfortable."
BLESS HER HEART!

Bear Kilts? or Buzz Kidder's? I seem to recall that you've mentioned the latter once. If that's the case, you might try something like BzK, since BK is already taken.

Your wife seems to have a very tolerant attitude towards the woman who was performing an ongoing kiltcheck

If I had been your wife I might have been more possessive, but I've never been good at sharing.
