    Joined the Isle of Skye Club

    With Rocky and Kelly at USA Kilts now offering the Isle of Skye in polyvicose, my fingers walked across the computer keyboard until the screen said order complete. Strange that - how your fingers can completely take over. They ordered a semi-traditional Isle of Skye, matching flashes, a Rampant Lion kilt pin, and 3 pair of colored hose.

    Anyone else have this affliction, where your fingers become possessed, but it only seems to happen randomly at kilt makers websites?

    Lately that happens to me at kiltmakers sites, or of course ebay, congratulations on the ordering your Isle of Skye, mine is still near the top of my favorites list.

    I need to get an Isle of Skye tartan kilt as the pipe band I'm joining up with wears it...

    Oh yes. A couple weeks ago I managed somehow to place three nearly identical orders at one site. At the time I thought it was a senior moment, but the narcotic nature of kilts may have contributed to it also.

    .
    Do the language laws in Quebec really require you to hire a mime who doesn't speak French if you hire one who doesn't speak English? Could a mime who doesn't speak either fill both roles at the same time? (Thanks to Calvin Trillin.)

    What a beautiful tartan! Very high on my list.

    I have the same problem. Just yesterday my wife came in and saw me looking at a few sites and gave me that "hey what ya lookin at?"
    You know, one that says "it's almost Christmas so don't order another kilt this month!"
    ...I picked up the MacRae from SWK earlier this month...
