Hmmm. I thought this was obvious. It's what Ghillies wear when they dress up. Tie is optional.

Thanks Spark and Co. It has been really nice to post about a Busse for sale last night and not have e-mails and posts wanting to trade for a "silly suit". I did feel sorry for the "kid" "guy" whatever but it just got kinda really old really quick. I only hope that other members do not make judgements on those of us who make mention of our faith in correspondence, we are not all like that anymore than any other group we all have our "challenges" so to speak. I would also mention to Gunner if he is lurking that I haven't seen it suggested but if you are so strapped for cash and want the education, you might look into your armed forces-they pay you to train and you will get real experience and maybe respect if you can do it. If you can't then maybe the Survival community is not for you at the level you seek. God Bless-paul

Okay PhilL, ya got me. All I wanted was some of your finest "Compost-flage" and I end up with a face full of feathers.

Man, I'm sure glad you didn't send me to the tar site first.

Ghillies are a type of shoe traditionally worn in the Highlands of Scotland. The gentlemen in this photo are wearing ghillies:

If anyone ever asks you what you're wearing under your kilt, the correct answer is: "Ghillies." Not to be confused with Wee Gillis.

Stop when you get to bone.
 
So now you have removed the automatic BTTT function for Busse sellers

P.S. More accurate to say GTTT (Ghillied To The Top)
 
Dew, it took me a second to figure out...Oh, yeah, LOL, I get it! Thanks.

David, really? You play bagpipes? That is simply astounding! Bravo to you!

OK - We've vented now. Time to move on?

rfrost, I was thinking that already. He is also here under a similar name.

I sent him an e-mail asking him what he'd trade me for my gurkha kukri (which I don't have). We'll see if I'm offered a ghillie suit

Peoples names change all the time on the net but i've noticed in reading usenet for a long time that their writing style usually gives them away.
 
But you know when I figured out your wife was a bigfoot gus, was when I took your kids fishing. We were in the boat an they dropped their fishing rods and dunked their heads in the water. After a few minutes they came up with fish in their mouths. Then they looked at each other and said Goony GooGoo. What the F@#$ is Goony GooGoo Gus?

 
Wow, I never realized how annoying he was! I just thought it was really funny how persistant he was to trade his ghillies for knives. Sad to hear he went bad and pestered some of you guys.
 
Excellent! Prom is in a month and a half. I've decided that a tux is simply too expensive. I want to wear a ghillie suit to the prom
smile.gif
! I could be a dancing pile of compost
biggrin.gif
! How should I go about making one (I will not trade any knives for it)? Could I just go to the compost bin on the side of my house and get a big fishing net and glue as much compost as I can on it? If I actually decide to wear a ghillie suit to the prom I'll be sure to post pictures when I'm done.

Sure Chang, you could make one yourself, but this is your Prom, you don't want to look silly, do ya?
Come into Ghillies R Us, let our professionsl Ghillie tailors make you a Tux that will make you the envy of your whole class. It really doesn't cost that much more to own the best. Just think about it, stop on by, you'll be glad you did.

Say, do you make them gilley suits in big and tall? It's not for me, it's for my mother-in-law. She's a bigfoot.

Goonie goo goo.

And what does Mickey Gilley have to do with compost anyways?

Phil, may I suggest a way to expand the market of Ghillie-R-Us and their haberdashery (sp?) services?

A compost tux, once worn for the prom is ABSOLUTELY RECYCLABLE AND COMPLETELY BIO-DEGRADABLE! Wear it until the funk gets obnoxious, and bury it in the yard. Add a weeding agent or those time-release nitrogen-rich fertilizer spikes, and your vegetable garden would be the envy of the whole neighborhood.

Think about it, Phil, it might just work, and if you make a million bucks, you'll owe me a couple of "barley pops".
