Well, it’s the last day of me wearing a kilt for a good cause, and here’s an actual action shot:

That’s me changing out a turn signal light on my mom’s car at the local AutoZone.

Speaking of a good cause, it’s not too late for any of you to chip in for prostate cancer research.  All you have to do it click this link, hit the box stating that you’re donating as part of a fundraising team, select “team Oddball,” and filling out the rest.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a linkable video for this song, so I’ll just leave this link here.

Well… we’re in the final stretch of Kilted to Kick Cancer month, and… um… I’m nowhere near the top of the list.  Of course, this is about raising money for a good cause, and every bit helps.  Hell, I’ll just pretend that the donations that weren’t assigned to anyone were actually mine and feel better.  🙂

Speaking of throwing money at a good cause.  If you’ve got some spare cash to donate to prostrate cancer research, I’d appreciate it if you did so by following this link, clicking on the “team donation” check box, and selecting Team Oddball.

And on to the fun stuff.

Fun fact: my wife (then girlfriend) spent 4 years pestering me to buy my first kilt.  I now own one for every day of the week.

And with this shirt, I have to post this song:

By the way, Marc Gunn is an great musician and an awesome guy.  If you’re interested in filk or more traditional Irish music, check him out here.

Third week and, well… I’m on the board, but not very far.  Oddly enough, not many folks have actually asked me about the kilts.  Of course, part of that is that I tend to disappear into the background anyways.  And since I’m not particularly photogenic, we decided to throw one of my cats in for this picture.

And, of course, can’t let this month go by without posting this song:

All the fun stuff aside, I am doing this for a serious thing.  Roughly 1 in 6 men will get prostrate cancer.  The good news is that there’s a high chance of successfully treating it if it’s caught in time, so, if you’re a guy of a certain age, go get checked.  Also, if you could, please donate at this link (http://kiltedtokickcancer.org/donate/) to help support research on how to better treat it.  If you do, please mark off that it’s part of a team donation and choose Team Oddball.  Thanks.
