Open Mic Opossum

“True story. Okay, so I’m like sitting on State Route 4 enjoying some midnight road pizza, minding my own business, and this car comes outta nowhere and BAM!

“I’m like, ‘Dude, didn’t you see me eating that dead crow? Are you blind?’ They always say the same damn thing as they help you up:

“‘Sorry, I didn’t see you. You were invisible.’ Meanwhile, blood’s spewing out my ears like a Bronx fire hydrant on a hot summer day. So I bit him.

“I’m like, ‘Sorry, your hand was invisible. Ever had rabies?’

“So, yeah. I bought him 21 shots that night and he never even thanked me.”

Best Cookbook Ever.

Mickler compiled these rural recipes of great artery clogging goodness. Be sure to check with your doctor first before trying them, and no, there aren’t any possum or squirrel recipes. For those you need a copy of The Foxfire Appalachian Cookbook.


[Found in our kitchen, reminded of it by Amy Oops.]

The .Gif Friday Post No. 440 – Shoe Drops, Kinkajou-fu & Funky Fungi

Shoe Drops

Kinkajou Fu

Funky Fungi

[Found here, here and here]

I think the second one is a possum (not an opossum) and not a kinkajou. No idea what that last one is, but it reminded me of this.

Saturday Matinee – 5 lbs of Possum, Trombone Shorty & Blue Mother Tupelo

“Five Pounds Of Possum” may be the greatest roadkill song ever.

Trombone Shorty (age 13?) kicks it at 01:20.

Serious Swamp Rock crankage from Blue Mother Tupelo.

Have a great weekend, folks. Be back here tomorrow, and remember that all you have to do is cook out the bacteria.

New Axe Cop animated series! (If you don’t know why Axe Cop is pure awesome, you haven’t been paying attention. CLICK HERE and follow the links.)

A fun holiday song (that Bunkarina named “dafuq?”).  Watch for the possum.

Have a great weekend, folks. There’s more awesome coming to a blog near you.

Possum Yawn

Haven’t seen our ‘possums around here lately, and the slugs and snails are missing, too.  Coincidence? Nah.

Hungry, Hungry Hot Links

That’s our juvy possum who comes around every night to clean up the catfood messes that the cats leave behind. Not counting the tail, he’s about a foot long, maybe about a year and a half old. Although they don’t see very well, after a few camera flashes this one was seeing nothing but red dots when he trundled off.

Small town crime: troublemakers in New Castle Pennsylvania 1930s – 1950s. Mug shots were rescued from the trash, and the blogger researched the stories from newpaper clippings.

Nice time-lapse video of the preparation of a space shuttle launch.

Interesting documentary on Michael Larson who in 1984 won over $110,000 in a single day on a game show by beating the system. Part 1 of 11 here.

What it’s REALLY like to work in a music store [found here].

11′-8″ is the critical dimension, and a bridgecam records canopeners.

“Baltimore Clap” is an odd animation. Might be disturbing for the young set.

Find out what woodworms sound like here.

Clever interactive video time waster (with NSFW/K language).

There’s a website for everything on the internest. This one is an archive of images of  dead armadillos.

What kind of man reads Tacky Raccoons? Here’s one of  ’em.

Possum Haiku

These marsupials

Make me smile and grin a lot.
