New surface support uniform...

Now I have lived here in the Pacific Northwest area for 6 months now. I have grown accustom to the oddities here, such as the rain, coffee shops everywhere and the liberal slant towards politics in the area.

Being a fairly conservative/manly guy myself, I was a little curious when I saw a news clip on CNN a few months ago about a “new” fashion fad that had also started in Seattle, called the UTILIKILTS : American Made Utility Kilts for Everyday Wear. I mean the website alone mocks me for not wearing one of these. Sure, it’s a little steep, but so are the assorted regulators, BC and drysuit that is too small for me (I swear it shrunk in the wash). Of course... my wife hates the idea, but my kids think I look like Mel Gibson from Braveheart, except bald and a little out of shape.

So for all you PNW divers who frequent the Kitsap Peninsula, keep an eye out for this new kilt-sporting diver (did I also mention that I am also getting a boat, but that is for another post).

BTW, what does this man-skirt diver wear under his kilt? Flippers.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... I couldn't really think of a good ethnic slur for an Australian at the time... sorry, that was the best I could come up with on such short notice.

Besides, I have a friend who would get upset every time I called him that and Pom

I couldn't agree more... What the hell? Are there men out there actually WEARING these things? In public?? :11:

I know several guys who wear kilts. You could try and take their man cards, but their claymores might deter you.

a new ceo took over the little hospital i was working at. craig & charlie, the maintenance dudes, were told they had to cut their hair & trim their mustaches. craig had the yosemite sam kind, and charlie had more the salvador dali or hercule poirot type, complete with mustache wax. there were new rules for appropriate clothes, too.

so they got utili-kilts. nothing in the new rules about no kilts!

Glock trumps claymore.
