(Named because once I get cabin fever, it is not that far of a stretch for my psyche to become nuttier than squirrel shit.) Since those early days, my beloved co-author has placed the onus of the Super Sekrit Oath of Shut-Upped-Ness upon me and our joint foray into published proof of mental instability lest I invoke Her Wrath Almighty. (What the Hell do I know? This woman lives in upstate New York, and I figure that the only thing crazier than someone who lives in Central Texas and COPS to it, is someone who can claim French speaking Canadian Yeti\u2019s as relatives!)<\/p>\n<p>Thus, the fervor of Hint Dropping. Which, I have on good authority, is \u201csupposed to make waves stronger than a large turd from a tall cow.\u201d Again, I will claim willful ignorance. It\u2019s safer.<\/p>\n<p>There are those of you who KNOW that I have the reputation to drop metaphors so colorful they could show up a Pride Parade. Likewise with the creative adjectives of cussing. But, this Oath of Shut-Upped-Ness?<\/p>\n<p>Shit Fire and Save The Matches. This is harder than keeping your virginity at the Senior Prom and every available candidate to do the dirty with is not only available, but has been the subject of \u2018those\u2019 dreams for weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Almost makes me glad I\u2019m not Catholic. (Seriously, my imagination and the resulting confessions would have driven some priests into taking a vow of silence in a desolate monastery far, far away!)<\/p>\n<p>Ok, dammit all to Hell and back. I\u2019ll just look at the little sticky note that reads \u201cKeep Thy Mouth Shut\u201d but that little squirrel bastard? Oh he\u2019s gonna die a bloody, certain death very, very soon.<\/p>\n<p>As in, \u201che\u2019s gonna be Celtic Dragon Mama Poop\u201d verra, verra soon. Or I MIGHT recycle his little nut sack as a bladder for the World\u2019s Smallest Bagpipe\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Ah, the joys of planning his demise. In the meantime, let me just say that the Hint Dropping shall commence like mulberry fueled bird shit \u2013 It Shall Leave Stains Upon Thine Memory. &lt;Insert evil laugh here.&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Waaaaaaay back earlier this year, the heavens decided that my little part of the fetid taint of Hell needed to exit the current drought and all of Nature conspired to Make It So.
