Accessories before the fact...

[Blu (Ontario)]

Gentlemen please tell me, is this how it starts?... etc. etc. Is this normal? Should I see a doctor or something?

Hmmmmm?... The onset of these symptoms has been so rapid! This could be serious! I should explain... You see, these are stage 2 symptoms and normaly tend to start after the kilt arrives. Lets see... Do you also find yourself waking in the middle of the night thinking about it? Have you been "practice posing" in the bathroom? Are you logging onto kilt websites at work yet?

(How much have you told your wife??)

My prescription.... daily "Xmarks" therapy sessions to help you through this tough time.

Thank you everyone for your understanding and (dare I say) promotion/encouragement of my new affliction.

Besides all of the symptoms already mentioned there's also the newfound torture of waiting for the kilt to arrive. I find it's very much like when I stopped smoking. Often during that time I could be found huddled in a corner, hugging my knees and rocking back and forth like something from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". However I do take comfort in the fact that the thumb sucking hasn't resumed as of yet.

The wait is always the worst part! But once you finally get your Kilt and have it wrapped around you the wait really doesn't seam so long after all. Here's me saying this knowing that I have Kilts on hand, so all I can do is pass words of encouragement to help lessen the pain of the wait. Good luck and it will all be good and right before you know it!

Does that make us kiltmakers the dealers?

Pssst! Wanna score some primo pleat? You ain't gonna believe the colours, man! Excellent flow. We got the casual stuff and the real deal. Come on, man! You know you want it!
Just try one kilt, that's all. Nobody needs two kilts. Right? You can always take it off!
You looking for something muted or maybe a Loud Macleod?
Sporran? Sure, I'll sell you a bag!
Tartan tie? No man, but I can get you one if that's your thing.
Hey, I'll toss in the hose for free, just to show you I'm a nice guy.
Got a new shipment from overseas I gotta go pick up. Some nice tartan, man!
So long, baby. I'll see you tomorrow.

Just remember not to pleat within 500 feet of a public school!

You're right, it is like quitting smoking. I was starting to call the company asking for "updates" several times a day to the point that they finally responded with "it's nae ready, an' donna call nae morrrrre"

A week or two before it came, I was even beginning to doubt that I would want to wear it, I was afraid it wouldn't be half as comfortable as people said, and I questioned my own reason at having ordered it.

Then it arrived, and I jumped up and down, hit my head on the chandelier, came to my senses, tried it on, etc. etc. Now I wear it about 50% of the time. It puts bounce in your step, makes you feel manly and confident, and people are more embarrassed by their own curiosity than you ever could be by the attention you get. My bowling score is higher, and my cholesterol dropped, and I feel a closer connection with God....etc.etc.

Once you start wearing kilts, you start to realize that EVERYONE else is probably going to be ooking at you. Wherever you go, you and your kilt are going to be in the spotlight. It's therefore quite natural to be concerned with your appearance (thus the accessorizing).

Hi, my name is Donnie, and I'm a kiltaholic!

Hmmmm. Kiltaholics unanimous with a 12 step program where each step calls for a new kilt. Might work.
