Buy a kilt save a marriage

Creative advertising!

Just what we need on ebay!

I think it should be listed factually, and hopefully sold. Yes you need to stand out, but that story, true or not, is a bit too much.

WOW What a great way to set your item apart from all the rest. He'll probably get more bidders than the rest simply because he came up with a unique byline to sell the kilt. I applaud him for that and hope he gets what he needs for the kilt. Nice to see humor on eBay instead of all the blah, blah, blah of how wonderful and rare the item is

I wonder if he has thought of throwing in the squirrels in the shed as sporrans?

What a puzzlement.....

If the wife is really that way then keep the kilt and dump the wife...the kilt will attract a much better woman...

...and a better class of women, River.

She is obviously afraid that if he continues to wear a kilt he will start to assert a level of manliness that she is unable to cope with. Then what will happen to all the non-alcoholic beer, vegetables, and chablis she has stocked up on. She could forget about that little hybrid vehicle she had her eye too. Yes my good fellows, a few days of wearing the kilt that floral sofa would have been replaced with leather and the liquor cabinet would be absent several bottles of sissy liquers and replaced with some excellent single malt and fine cigars.

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?

[Pleater]

The subtleties of this situation seem to have passed unnoticed - HE asked HER what she wanted for Christmas. This might seem to be a pretty straightforward request for information - but of course it is not - SHE - obviously can't say that she WANTS anything at all because it is not demure and modest to WANT - so of course she HAS to say that she wants NOTHING.

Of course, SHE is relying on HIM to realise that by saying that SHE wants NOTHING, SHE now DESERVES something, and something which shows that HE is aware of her quality in not WANTING anything, so naturally HE will be sensitive to every subtle nuance of HER behaviour which will indicate to HIM just what it is that HE ought to buy for HER.

By believing what SHE said and failing to realise the true situation HE betrays HER.

By buying himself something which SHE does not understand HIS need to own HE is undermining the fundamental basis upon which all marriage is founded, which all women understand but naturally are baffled by the inability of men to comprehend.

It is SO SIMPLE - HE has only to understand that what SHE says is not what SHE actually means, except for those times when what SHE does say exactly what SHE means.

IF only more men understood this simple concept there would be far fewer misunderstandings.

It seems like whenever I'm home alone, every time I turn around, there it is. Mocking me.

Duh, it's a Mocker.

Pleater, old chap, I'm sorry to say that we're all being mocked for buying, making and wearing kilts. And, as icing on the cake, it's all couched in the language of a TV sit-com, pitting fictional man against fictional wife. It is, as mentioned earlier, a creative way to draw attention to a commercial enterprise, but this fella has tarred two groups with the same brush - kilt wearers and couples. It's almost enough to make me "GO POSTAL!"

[Cinnabar]

Hmm...I really can't feel too bad for the guy: A) Everyone's wife says they don't want anything for X-mas but unless you've spent your life in a box you know that translates to "Just give me your credit card a few days at the mall" B) He bought himself something for X-mas instead. I mean come on. Ever seen the Simpsons episode where Homer buys Marge the bowling bowl with his name engraved on it.. Enough said. C) He calls his wife an "unholy sea hag" and gets away with it! If I did that, I wouldn't be able to walk for three weeks or even have children.

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

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?
