Want to go down in History?
Hi All
As most of you know - the term "TANK" was immortalized by Jimmy Carbomb in 2005. It now stands as the term for an eight-yard, wool, hand-sewn, traditional kilt. Lucky Jimmy - both he and "TANK" will live forever in XMarks the Scot's FAQ.
I say fair play to Jimmy - but it dawned on me we don't have an equally groovy term to describe a well made contemporary kilt. So here is your chance to become famous by Friday. What term do you think we should use to describe a less than 8 yard - machine sewn kilt made from "contemporary" fibers?
Here's your chance to become an XMarks legend!

"Minivan Kilt"
Comfortable for getting around in, modern, low maintenance and no matter what you think or say, somewhat stylish.

"A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

I like DUKW myself. I'm not afraid to jump into a swimming pool with my Amerikilt on.
