+#title Behold the Mighty Kilt
+
+* Lust
+
+Once upon a time I went to see [[http://eluveitie.ch/][Eluveitie]] on a little tour called
+[[http://www.paganfest.net/info.php?lang=usa][Paganfest]]. The bassist and piper of Eluveitie were wearing kilts and
+they looked mighty fine and metal; thus began my lust for a kilt of my
+very own.
+
+* Goodbye Money
+
+A few months later I decided to purchase a [[http://www.utilikilts.com/index.php?page_id=30][Workman's]] [[http://utilikilts.com][Utilikilt]] as it
+appeared to be the most practical kilt for every day wearing. After
+much fretting about sizing and ordering such an expensive piece of
+nonreturnable clothing I finally ordered one in August 2008 and had it
+in my hands the first week of September. Luckily, it fit.

+
+The kilt is made of very heavy canvas (it weighs about four pounds)
+and was of quite good construction. I'd say it was worth the pretty
+penny I spent for it.

+
+After unpacking and gazing upon the glory of the kilt I donned it upon
+my waist and decided that I should never wear pants again. Everything
+they say is true: the pockets really can fit a six pack of beer, it is
+quite comfortable, it doesn't look dumb (ok, perhaps that is
+subjective), and it *is* handy to have my tools on my kilt when working
+on my [[My Bicycle][bicycle]].

+
+I first wore the kilt in public about an hour after getting it, and I
+must say that I find it amusing that people would fret about wearing a
+kilt outside of their house. I now have a new problem: I want more
+kilts so that I no longer have to wear pants.
