Thanks, Joe.

I got the idea for naming objects to mistake for a fox from a post by Herga Kitty in 2009. She had been at a festival and had heard a verse about the family tomcat being mistaken for Bold Reynard. For me, the rest was simply a matter of thinking up things that are orange.

The day I was writing it, the DH and stopped for burgers at a local bar, and Oklahoma State was playing football on the TV. Their Halloween-esque helmets fit right in.
