My New Lamont Kilts!
After many months, if not years, of trying to avoid the considerable expense of buying new ones (like many men, my DNA also contains what I often half-jokingly refer to as the Cheap Bastard Gene), I have FINALLY acquired not one, but TWO extremely nice, very gently pre-worn, pure wool Lamont kilts, one Ancient, the other Weathered (Lamont is actually my given name, and my surname is a sept of Lamont--pure coincidence, mind you, I'm sure my parents had absolutely no idea). The former includes matching ribbon flashes, the latter includes a matching piper's plaid, and each cost only US$90.00! I am absolutely thrilled! God Bless eBay! Will try to post photos of myself in them as soon as possible...

I can't wait to see the pics! Perhaps I can finally catch you on a non-work weekend and have you over for a brew day and grill out, you could wear one of your new-to-you kilts! I'll be wearing my new Wallace hunting 5 yarder from Rocky I'm sure.

Lamont, that is amazing, your finding TWO appropriate kilts, so inexpensively.
Sir, 'appears you were treated by the infinite multiverses to a right-proper good karma-coincidence-reward.
Live well, kilt on and enjoy!

Arrgh. And congrats!
As another member of the Lamont Clan, I both celebrate your acquisitions, and covet them.
Please post pictures so I can work out my jealousy into enthusiastic well wishes.

P.S. I will be the bidder you are bidding against next time. . .
