Ricky Granite Does Not Scare Me (He Scares Me A Little)

Ricky Granite said WHAT about me?! He said I do not belong in the squared place?! He said -- he ACTUALLY said -- that I am soft?! I am not soft! I am -- well, I am a little cold right now because someone left the loading dock door open, but that is NOT the same thing!

I have charted every single square inch of my backyard by hand! HAND! With a compass and a ruler that Momma does not know I borrowed! That is the kind of focus and dedication that Ricky Granite has never once had in his entire big loud life!

Ricky, I want you to know that I have been doing research! I have been preparing! I watched two and a half matches on the television before I fell asleep, and in both of them the man who looked confident ended up on the floor, which I think means something important for you specifically!

Momma said I would embarrass her here and maybe she is right, maybe she is watching right now and making that face she makes -- but I am DOING this, I am HERE, and when the man with the stripes raises my hand in that squared place, I just hope the crowd is not too loud because I have been having trouble with my ears lately, is that -- I am sorry, is that too much to share?
