Recalibrating the Paradigm.

[pdcorlis]

Its bizarre I tell you! Just so you know, I'm a daily kilt wearer but yesterday I decided to wear a handsome new pair of corduroy pxxts to work. Now, I teach at a college in northern Idaho - Idaho which is literally at the end of the road. Much to my surprise all H E double hockey sticks broke out! Students looked confused - one even told me she felt betrayed. My colleagues stared at me as if I had sprouted a third arm and even administrators wondered what was happening. After all, as one of my bosses pointed out, it wasn't Halloween.

Have I done it? Have I cracked reality wide open? Am I suddenly living in Bizzaro world? Have I managed to recalibrate the paradigm to the point where kilts are "normal" and pxxts are "strange?" If I have, doesn't that mean that you can too?

Boy I sure hope so...

Uuuuhhhhh,yup. I think you turned the world upside down today. Please wear a kilt tomorrow so the rest of us don't fall off becasue we are just barely hanging on right now.

I have had similar thoughts of extending my fashion choices by including trousers for occasional office wear, and I anticipate the same response. Any more I get no responses to the kilt except If I sport a new one.

Come December 20 I will have not worn kilts to the office for 3 years. Funny, because I do wear pants at home. Sometimes I change out of a kilt at the ned of the day and into pants. go figure.

Cool, yes...but not Bizzaro world...look at it as a return to normalcy.

When you consider the basics of a man's anatomy, p@*ts ARE strange!

I get the same response whenever I am seen wearing those unmentionable bifurcated garments.

Me too...

My favorite response was exclaimed in a CROWD right before a '50's dance' here in town. I was wearing a pair of jeans with a white tshirt and a pack of cigarettes rolled up in the sleeve. While on our way to the dance, someone stopped me, in a crowd and shouted 'I've never seen you in PANTS before'. Parnets pulled their children in closer and people's heads turned with cocked brow to see who the 'weirdo' was.

I have disturbed my little corner of the world.

I think we should start mapping these "disturbances" globally to see if they are effecting quantum mechanics yet...

I kilted full time, one semester... tried wearing p@nts once, and it went over like screen doors on a submarine. People were shocked; had I just worn a kilt that day, I wouldn't have recieved a word.

All it comes down to is the human fondness for predictability- When something out of the ordinary happens(whether it be seeing a man in a kilt, or seeing a man in p@nts), people just want to get back to what they're used to.

I am not sure but for some reason, I believe December 21, 2012, will be a day everyone will wear p@nts and throw the Earth rotation into a new wobble cycle...

Rode my motorcycle to class last night, as it was a tad chilly I passed on the kilt. One classmate said "what no Kilt?" that was about it, but I am not kilted all the time; best to leave em guessing.....
