    I have been branded a wierdo for wearing my kilt

    My co-worker Mr. Doe, who really likes the look of my kilts, was told by his wife not to hang around with that "Wierdo who wears kilts to work, Stay away from Kilt Boy".

    Well personally I like being the wierdo in a crowd. Normal is soooo boring.

    Anyway what I want to do is slip into Mr. Doe's office and 'decorate' as much of as I can in "kilts". By that I mean, make little paper kilts and put one around his coffee mug. And unfortunately I've run out of ideas already. He has a really good sense of humor and I know he'll be delighted in the merriment.

    So what ideas can the rabble help me out with? Nothing malicious, just good natured silliness please.

    Thanks

    I am a weirdo too.

    Right on man. Davini and Michelangelo were called wirdos. Plus chicks dig me in my kilt.

    You could get one of those kilt towels for him to wear home to the misses.

    Cheers!

    Pens and pencils would lend themselves to being kilted. Not to mention placing the "waistband" of one 'round the bottom cushion of his office chair. Wastebasket? Does he have a keyboard drawer from which one could hang? Phone handset -- so you have to part the aprons to speak!

    Can you tell I'm sitting at my desk, supposedly working?

    You probably won't win her over with reason. Treat her husband with respect and treat the kilt-wearing as something fun and comfortable. Couples tend to judge people on how people treat their significant other... so be sure to invite the guy for guy's night out and remember birthdays.

    I have no intentions of winning her over. I've known Mr. Doe for two years. He LOVES to laugh and have a good time. I know that "decorating his office" will bring him hours of delight. I'm just looking for good ideas! And I'm sure that this will be skads more fun than cleaning up the cup of coffee I dumped on his desk.

    Just because you wear a kilt doesn't mean you aren't a weirdo. Perhaps it's not the clothes....
    Just kidding. I think this could be a lot of fun for you. Have at it. It will of course, be harder than wrapping everything in aluminum foil, which is about as wild as it gets around here.

    Booya baby, aluminum( aluminium to you EU folks) kilts. What could be better? Inexpensive, easy to make, recyclable, low carbon footprint. The perfect solution.


    Let the merriment begin.
