They Ran A FLea FLicka

Dear Voodoolawyer:
It seems like not so long ago that "not so long ago" was not so long ago.Now, whenever I say "You know, it was not so long ago..." then I realize that whatever I was about to say was actually pretty long ago.
Like, it was not so long ago that everyone read this book, "My Flea Flicka." I just can't remember if it was about a football playing horse, or a horshoes playing flea. Anyway, Flicka died but the flea flicka lives on; life's funny like that.
Thanks for being there, in the swamp, I mean.
