    Thumbs up Utilikilts at ThinkGeek!

    I just got an email update from ThinkGeek.com. Imagine my surprise when, staring up at me from the pixelated page, is a Utilikilt!

    Here's a link, and here's the description:

    Call it a skirt, and ye'll feel the back of me hand!

    What are ye starin' at, ye wee girl?! This be no skirt, this be a Utilikilt! Fashioned after the traditional garb of the Celtic warrior. Now of course ye know, William Wallace has ne'er worn a kilt - they weren't invented until Willie had been stone dead for nearly four-hundred years, but they're still all about freedom!

    Made from a poly-cotton blend so it's durable and yet soft. It's got lots of pockets for your crap, so you can carry a cellphone, or screwdrivers, or a beer should the need arise. Big riveted snaps keep everything safe and secure, including your manhood.

    Even geek demi-god Patrick Norton proudly wears his Utilikilt!

    Now, PAY ATTENTION! Those pants you're wearing - odds are the waist size is a lie! If you're used to wearing size 34 jeans, it's likely you'll need a size 36 Utilikilt. Oi! You! I said PAY ATTENTION! Get out a tape measure and measure your waist with yer sissy-boy pants ON! See that number? That's the size you need. I don't want to be hearin' any of you crying to yer mum, "Oh, I bought the wrong size!" Man-up, ye precious thing and get it right the first time!

    Product Features:
    • Made from durable yet soft poly-cotton blend
    • Stainless steel snaps
    • Wears low on your hips
    • MAKE SURE YOU MEASURE BEFORE YOU BUY!
    Looks like kilts are beginning to catch on!

    Thanks for breaking the news, Coemgen. This is great. It should give UK quite a wide exposure, as I believe Think Geek is a very popular site.

    I hope it doesn't make them too popular though -- I quite like being different!

    KP.

    If kilts are starting to catch on, then I need to find something else to wear!

    Their blurb reads like the script for one of the latest round of Mockumercials for some reason...

    And the idea of a circuit board kilt pin is hilarious!
    Lovin' the breeze 'tween m'knees!
