    Is this a cult?

    So I am walking our dog Friday morning and am already dressed for work, which that day was my Ireland's National, black shirt, hose, and belt, and low rise boots. As I was on my way back home, I cross by the driveway of the condo parking lot near my home, and a car was approaching at the same time. The car stopped, and I continued on by (and I was on the other side of the street, so no reason for the car not to continue). I kept waiting to hear the car come up behind and pass me, as I needed to get back across the street. I realize that is has been longer than expected for the car to pull out, then I hear it coming slowly up behind me. As it gets next to me, I see that the driver's window is rolled down, and an older lady is driving. She stops next to me and says "I like your outfit.". I thank her and then she asks, with a slight stammer in her voice "Are you a member of a cult?". Not sure I heard right, I asked her to repeat herself, and she then says "errr, are you a member of a club?". I smile and say no, and then good morning and she drives away.

    Very unusual question. Does anybody else feel like this is a cult??

    Of course we're not a cult. We just a bunch of people who share a new form of enlightenment. We share a common form of garb. We encourage others to join us. We look to long time members for guidance. We .....

    Well, maybe I spoke too soon!:rolleyes: I guess we need to pass out the bagpipes and drums (we would never use tambourines).
    Lose something valuable to you and don't know who can help?

    Um, I think to be a cult we'll need to meet deep in the woods around midnight under a full moon and dream up some rituals.

    Hmmmm, perhaps our ancestors already did that....maybe we are....sort of...

    LOL: Got the kilt, half-way there on the shaved head! Just need to get rid of the hose and put on my sandals. Do you think I could get enough donations for another kilt? Might be worth it.
