"Skunked" was a word used in Bob Clark's 1983 classic, "A Christmas Story" and was used when Ralphie went to check his mailbox to see if his Little Orphan Annie Decoder ring came in the mail, and it hadn't. "Skunked" is getting like getting "denied" or in some cases, getting "owned" (although the latter is more rare). In any case, I've used this word before knowing exactly what I meant, but no one seemed to respond. I don't think anyone knows what "skunked" means.
I got skunked today.
I wish I could be honest with everyone who reads this, but I really can't. It's out of line, and silly for me to lay out a spread of intimacy on something as public as this. I can only be cryptic and hope that you guys have enough of an imagination to surmise that Dan has girl problems.
I think I'm really good at being silent. I'm either really patient, I have lots of faith in Omnipotence sorting out my quandries, or I'm of the opinion that my enigmaticism is flammable enough to get some sparks going without any direct effort on my part.
Well, tomorrow the eyes will open again. The muscles will fill with blood as dreams are wringed out of them with a good stretch. And I'll have another day to say the words.
