You are right, Bubba. I have a fine diploma awarded to me for just that!

I went from a standing start with ZERO kilts in June to having 17 kilts in October...
"Eccentric with an addictive compulsion" fits for me.
Damn proud of it too.

There's an old story about a the Sheriff showing a new deputy around. It's about freezing out, and they chance upon an old man standing stark naked on the side of the road. As they pull over, the Sheriff says, that's ole crazy Charlie. He does this every so often and we arrest him and keep him in the jail until his folks come and get him.
The next day, they come upon another old naked guy standing by the road in a different part of the county. The deputy looks and say's "Look, Sheriff, we got us another crazy old fart to run in". The sheriff, says, "no no, that is Mister Smythe, his family are all millionaires, he's not crazy, just eccentric." Now since I'm a long ways from being a millionaire, I guess I'm just crazy.
"A day spent in the fields and woods, or on the water should not count as a day off our allotted number upon this earth."

Well, I, for one, am both pleased an proud to be a "kilted eccentric". I never thought I'd have enought money to be considered "eccentric". I thought I was stuck with "Weird"!

Good one!! I like that! I'll be crazy too, as long as we don't get locked up for what we wear - I'm happy.

Eccentric is fine by me!
Imagine how dull the world would be without eccentrics to brighten it up.
We Englishman are noted for our eccentricity, and I'm proud of the fact.
