If You Love Something Let it Go

Hello, it’s me, Jaunty P. Quills, Porcupine Extraordinaire! Actually, I have a confession to make. That middle initial that everyone always asks me about…well, you haven’t asked me about it, but I know you’re wondering.

The truth is that my middle initial stands for Pirouette. That’s right. I’m Jaunty Pirouette Quills. I couldn’t tell you before because I was too embarrassed to admit my true passion. It didn’t seem…manly enough, but today I realized that I’m Jaunty Pirouette Quills, dang it!

I am porcupine. Hear me roar!

And now Vegas is going to hear me roar, baby! That’s right I’m going to Vegas to be a showgirl—er, showman. Feathered headdress? Who needs it when you got sexy quills like these?

Dear Quills, I hate to say it, but I’m out of here.

Take this job and shove it.

(Not that this was a job or that I could shove it anywhere, but, well, you get the idea!)

I’m too cool for school. So if you’re ever in Vegas, look me up, but don’t expect a backstage pass. Or an autograph. I know what those go for on eBay.

Goodbye, Jaunty Quills. Forever…

   Uh, Jaunty, are you trying to pull an April Fool’s Day joke on us? C’mon . . . Vegas? Sorry, my friend, but I’m not buying it.

   Okay, well, write when you get work… don’t be a stranger and all that. I was thinking it might be time for a change, and look at that! you’ve beat us to it. Perhaps we can fill those manly dance shoes with feet that belong to something else that has quills… like, I don’t know, maybe an ostrich with those gorgeous plumed feathers… feathers are used as quills to write with, so what could be more perfect? Jaunty, your timing is extraordinary!

   Hehe- I’m with Andrea… though slightly more gullible because I keep forgetting it’s April Fools Day! I think working in the legal system’ll do that to you.

   Jaunty, love, I’ve been to Vegas, numerous times and let’s just say it’s not the place for small woodland creatures. But nice try.

   Ya know… I think I heard about this in vegas… They couldn’t get Gene Simmons’ big band act for a three year contract… so they turned to Jaunty… it was the talk of Vegas while I was there.

   Ha ha! April Fools! Jaunty, you know we could never let you go! Although, I have been to Vegas many times so I can see the draw…

   Jaunty, there are tigers in Vegas. It is much safer for porcupines in Jaunty Town. Happy April Fool’s Day!

    You and me both, Jane… Jaunty, while you’re in Vegas, if you have a bridge to sell me, I’m probably buying…

    Ha! Got you! April Fool’s!

    Hmmm…Now that I read these comments, some of you seemed to want me to go. But I know the majority of you would be heartbroken. Vegas is calling, but for now, my sweet Jaunties, I stay with you.
