Oh, possum


I chased it down the stairs. Then I thought better of that decision.

  1. I always picture possums being little romantic creatures with tiny clothes, good manners, and drinking tea in children's story books.

    I sometimes forget they look just like the subway rats of NYC.

  2. That's why they have to be romantic and well-mannered, sipping tea with their tiny human hands.

  3. Did you at least try inviting it for dinner?

  4. Yeah, I was having sauteed garbage, but I guess the bastard was shy.

  5. When I was 9 yrs old, I came flying in from trying to take out the garbage and told mom that a possum was in the bottom of the trash can "with its guts hanging out" turns out mama gave birth -- they were moving around in the pouch -- guess she figured it was as safe as place as any...we did not move her. On a weird note an acquaintance had one as a PET -- THIS CREATURE WAS OBSESE -- not potty-trained. Extremely disturbing. Fortunately I only went to the house once. That was enough for me...
