All possums, please move to the water cooler

[Architecht]

Possums will now live in the water cooler, thanks.

 

In the meantime, all of you excitable people. My recommendation, for whatever limited worth it may have, would be to sweat less of the small stuff. It is occasionally amazing to me what can set some of you guys off. What are we talking about here? A couple of days of posts by a possum who baited a few of you into playin g his game? (low whistle) I can see how that has ruined everything. (cough cough) I don't want to sound like I'm setting myself up as any kind of judge... but man, sometimes I have these paranoid suspicions that sometimes there are intentionally severe reactions used as a device to bring more immediate attention to things that bug you.

 

Nah. I'm probably imagining things.

 

In any case - the possum is in the water cooler now. He is there because he's spamming the boards with his single issue posting.

Friendly neighborhood moderator

Anyone seen any possums around?

[keithdagen]

Thanks Arch!!

 

I leave for 3 days and this place disintegrates. I'll try to post a schedule of my absences in the future.

[IrishMike]

Yep you have a wondering imagination Arch. Try to control it will you.

A couple of years ago we saw a possum walking around our yard. Boy was it ugly! But, I thought it at least had character until it chewed a hole in my roof over my garage. We discovered the hole after it rained. Now I just think possums are ugly.

You can tell when somebody didn't grow up among several siblings, they don't know how to ignore the annoying things life (or siblings) have to bring. As the only girl sandwiched among 3 boys, I learned how to ignore them and their bad habits, it was either that or go crazy.

 

Ok, maybe I did go crazy, but that was by choice, not out of necessity.

 

Anyway, anybody know about world coiuns, especially a possible Coronation token/medal/medallion issued for Queen Elizabeth II coronation in 1953?

[Architecht]

Yah, that's right. I blame YOU for all of this, Keith. No more leaving.

Three brothers? You poor soul. (grinning) I should make YOU the moderator, it seems like between the three brothers and the three labs you probably have the hands-on-experience to keep this crew from wigging out.

Thanks for moving said possum. I got carried away this weekend, and I apologize to one and all.

Hey, I resemble that remark

[a2labmom]

Nah, I'll just ignore them, Arch. Let them sort it out and whoever is left standing at the end is the one who gets dinner, or in this case is the winner.

[keithdagen]

Will be abset this weekend starting Friday morning and extending to Sunday evening. Please appoint a designated troll hunter, as I will be hunting deer and don't have dual tags.

[Architecht]

 

You'll need a note from your doctor stating that hunting is necessary to your health, or else we'll have to doc your pay again.

[keithdagen]

Arch,

 

Here in Texas, you get a floating holiday to go hunting. It's like a state requirement.

[davefperry]

Possum hunting after you bag a deer? I hear they're good eating if you cook them right.

[kenwin1]

Possum Pie and Squirrel Stew! YUM-YUM !

[a2labmom]

I hear they're good eating if you cook them right.

 

Which is good eating, possum or deer?

[Gunsmoke]

I remember Granny used to cook up a mean opposum stew - yum

[davefperry]

Yup, possum stew never seemed to hurt Ellie May at all. Jethro is another story but he was a cousin or something.

Insert East Kensyltuckia joke here.

Me too EVP, I know better and will try to ignore petty personal attacks. This is a pre-New Year resolution.
