Thanks everyone for giving it a read and commenting. As many of you have noted I misspelled Tom's nom de plume, which should be "tec tak." I broke it into for the slight pause.
JM The phrase "kill them dead" a provincial saying in the area in which I grew up. It kinda went hand in foot with "I'm gonna kill you deader than dead," and the ever popular, "I'm gonna kill you so dead you'll be sorry." I guess one would call it redundant hyperbole.
Yes, with a shotgun cracked open, and lying over your arm, probably wearing a hunting jacket full of fresh game bird shotgun shells. Yet when the missus asks what we are having tonight Tom replies, "Scotch and...zzzzzz"

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
