    Have y'all heard that story about the little boy in Shepard's town who cried "WOLF!" the other day? The whole town come running out to see what was going on. Turns out, he was just trying to get a rise out of everyone -- no wolf. He did it again after that, too! Third time he did it no one came running -- too bad there really was a wolf that time and all the sheep got ate.
     
  2. Sadly, I spend too much time on the Backstreets message boards myself. But you're right. I don't think the years I've been checking that site (mostly for bootlegs) could have prepared me to write a story like that if it fell to me (or I was so bored to pitch it).
