Oh, uh, yeah. It's kind of cryptic for people not in my immediate circle of RL friends. Sorry about that. :)
Here's the quickie version: we (my RL friends and I) refer to our inner critic as Shithead. Thus, whenever the little voice pops up to tell us that we'll never make it, what's the point of even trying, etc., the proper response is: "Shut up, Shithead."
I took this a few steps further in conversation the other day, and declared that if Shithead didn't back off, I woud beat him up with my Baseball Bat of Awesomness™. At the time, it was a metaphorical bat. Then my friends suggested that I should get a real bat, and I figured that I could write "Baseball Bat of Awesomeness" on it with magic marker, and call it good.
Therefore, I asked the nice people of freecycle for a bat. They haven't answered my request yet, though, so I think I may have to cough up the money for one myself.
