Casual Friday at the office has taken a completely new direction.
So, I finally got a new job after being laid off for about 16 months. :cry: :D :silly: Yes, it's great to finally have a paycheck again. :bounce:


Just finished up my second week there. Today, one of the programmers wore...


















wait for it...




















A utilikilt! :woohoo: Sure made the day pass by a lot faster! I loves me some men in kilts :D

5. He works in the lab
so might as well be comfy crawling around pulling cable . :D

I think he was really proud of himself though.

An Englishman, no less. ;-)

11. This has possibilities
You should drop something like a dime and let it roll under his kilt. No, no. Make sure it's at least a dollar coin. Once it has reached its destination, you have to pick it up. Great time to do some inspection.

7. Hmmmm. That is a good idea
Is a kilt considered business casual? We have a no jeans policy and I need to find something comfortable to work in.

8. Dunno. Hadn't thought about it
before today.

I suppose it is, since technically it isn't denim.

Here's where I got the pic from:

21. Italian Priests in Custard?
My favorite is the Friends of the Free French Osteopaths.



Un, deux, trois. Un, deux, trois. Un, deux, trois. Un, deux, trois. Un, deux trois. Un, deux, trois.




They do this over 400 times a day. Nobody knows why.

Kilts are a guaranteed chick magnet.

He's not that handsome, but he does seem to have a great personality. And the kilt we... it did knock me off kilter!

:D

15. I like kilts too. I took highland dancing as a kid. Love the bagpipes too.
Never seen a utilakilt. Looks good on the model.

17. What a brilliant idea
Edited on Fri Apr-11-08 05:56 PM by unpossibles
I may have to try that.

If they tell me to wear pants, I'll just threaten a discrimination suit.... ;)




EDIT for vicodin

24. The question is....
Did he wear it traditionally, or did he actually have something on underneath?

31. I nearly bought one.
I've been told that I have legs for a kilt. Unless there was a Scottish fest, I'm too shy to wear one in public. Though I don shorts as often as I can.
