    Oh no!

    So I've been going back and forth on my kilt length for sometime. The X-Marks Rocky made is 25" and I think it's perfect. The SWK's are 24" and I have to wear it lower on my hips and it just doesn't feel right. I have three kilts on order with Rocky right now (2 casual - 1 semi) I thought 24" would be fine, but I changed my mind with him for the 500th time and I'm going with 25". And of course none of this is the point to my post...

    After the last email on Tuesday with Rocky and putting in stone the 25" length he said one of my 3 should be shipped out within a week. So I tell my wife this. She does a double take and is like...wait a minute. "How many kilts will you have when all you've ordered are shipped?" I stop. Think, start writting down all my kilts....1...2...3...4......6.....8.....10....12.. ..13! Oh no, That's an unlucky number. I have to get another.

    She kindly reminds me of the one laying in a heap in our TV room that I'm attempting to sew myself. Wasn't that sweet of her?

    13 is by no means an unlucky number. It is my number no matter what sport I am playing, be it soccer or track and field...

    Not superstitious in one bit, but I needed an excuse to get another kilt

    And if you are not suspicious about 13, maybe about numbers divisible by 7, or maybe numbers less than 20, or numbers with a 1, or....

    See, plenty of reasons for anothe kilt.

    I'm downright superstitious anout the number zero. It is an evil number. Why? Because that's the balance in my "kilt fund " right now.

    I have to agree. I was born on the 13th - a friday no less

    13 is pretty much my number as well.

    If you're into rugby it's the last number before you're watching from the bench. Of course I can't even find enough for a 9 man team here in South AZ. O'Neille

    Another kilt is a good idea, especially since you are so comfortable having what you have.
    I got another kilt. But, not because of an unlucky number. It was because I can't own just one (more). I have an unlucky number. It's uhm,... ahh,... ohh,... well, I'll use a different one one 'cause it's luckier!
