| | | A momentous day
Let it be known that
today.............
I threw out my last pair of white kilt socks.  They wore through in the heel and I'm sick of darning them.
Yes, I still have Strings Outrageous Kilt Hose, but they're natural wool color...cream, not white. Still, every other pair of knee-length socks that I regularly wear with a kilt are now colored...oatmeal, charcoal, lovat green.
But all is not lost. Aye, I still have three pair of athletic soccer sox that I wear with my kilts!..yes, in bottle green, navy blue and bright red!

Congrats! I have gotten rid of most of mine, but I've saved my last pair so I can use them with my lederhosen, so I don't even consider them kilt hose anymore.

Alan, say it ain't so!  Are you pulling our legs? Is it April Fool's Day?
Hell must have frozen over! But wait; Keith Richards has given up drinking; it must be true then!

I still have a gleaming pair, which I will keep in case I join a band for a performance.
