Drunken Pumpkin

I ordered a Utilikilt the other day. Apparently I slipped in just before a big article ran on them and they became incredibly popular for a day or two.

I knew about them through my martial arts instructor and some random nutjob that I met at a wedding about 4 years ago. But it wasn’t until recently that I felt committed enough to take the plunge and order one.

Utilikilts look pretty snazzy, but they are a little on the pricey side. Of course, that was one of the main factors for not ordering one for a few years. But I’m working at a job that pays a fair amount of cash, so I felt okay about that. However, I did spend the rest of the day muttering to myself that I had just spent over a hundred dollars on a skirt.

The reason I’m writing about this is that it’s scheduled for delivery tomorrow and I’m pretty excited about that. I have a sneaking suspicion that pictures of me in it will end up on the site at some point. Especially since my wife knows the password to the admin section here at the Pumpkin. So, if you see a man in a skirt, don’t be alarmed, I’m not really a cross-dresser, I just play one on the internet.

Tune in tomorrow for more hijinks and a report from the “Ask a Trucker” recording sessions.

Humility is the embarrassment you feel when you tell people how wonderful you are.

Human beings make life so interesting. Do you know, that in a universe so full of wonders, they have managed to invent boredom?
