ABSTRACT
P.S.: I received an email from the editor of Journal of American Folklore saying she really liked this piece [originally published online at Bruce Jackson’s website] and asking permission for her to publish it in the Journal. I wrote back immediately saying she was welcome to reprint it. I didn’t hear from her for a while, so I wrote and asked when it might appear. She responded that she wanted to thank me for submitting my article, but the editorial board didn’t think it was appropriate for Journal of American Folklore. Why do you think the feet got cold? I bet anything it was “squoze” that did it. They never liked words with funny spellings, that board, not one bit.
