Sluggies and buggies and road kill, o my

[melanie2]

Sighs..so we dealt with the slug problem..and i only see the occasional slug out back once in a while..and the bug problem also has been dealt with..although saturday morning, for some odd reason, a bee was crawling on the living room carpet, (which is burgundy) nearly dead i think, yet i almost stepped on it..i scooped it up in the fly catcher thingie and took it out back..i could have gotten stung on the bottom of my rather sensitive and soft sole..eeks..

This morning though...while kissing the hubby off to work..as he was going out the back door..what do i spy over in the shrubs, but a possum again...sighs..hubby had patched up the hole in the fence..and we thought that was the end of it..possums don't belong in the backyard of civilized people, who live in the south part of town...possums belong out in the country, by the side of a road...where they will meet their inevitable fate by becoming road kill..who on earth would eat such an evil looking creature? I swear, looking into the face of an adult possum is like looking at the Devil himself..i never saw such a sneaky, evil face in all creation..only baby possums are exempt..sighs..

Well, you never know, Izzy, with the proper stuffing and spices, a possum could turn into quite a delicacy. *gets the knife and fork ready*

 

[David Presents]

I've never eaten possum. I had alligator meat once, though. It was pretty good!

 

[melanie2]

Duke you would want to eat one...ack

DavidPresents...hmm well an alligator doesn't seem nearly as repulsive as an opossum...

Hey, not all bugs are bad Izzy 😉

 

[QueenBeeBeeMari]

Well,that would just be horrible.Thank goodness you did not get stung;then your little footsies wouldn't be ticklish for a while and that would just suck.I wonder if anyone keeps possums as pets.I know some keep raccoons and foxes and squirrels.

 

[melanie2]

Well,keep one as a pet Izzy.They must be so adorable and I'm sure they would be happy to keep you company and play with your kitty.They could become good friends hehehe.

Good news Izzy lol.

 

[melanie2]

[QueenBeeBeeMari]

OMG what a vicious looking little thing.I am laughing now but if I saw that I would run so fast lol.

You have to watch out for the slugs...they're notorious for tickling bare feet in the grass,so bring along some salt shakers and watch them melt away!!!!!

^Let's face it we have possums in our neighborhood too. ^

BTW: Have you ever attended The Roadside Kill Cookout over at Elkins????

I had a friend in college from inner city Chicago that had relatives in Kentucky. They served her possum once and she loved it. Any time her family visited from that time on, they made some just for her!

Plus, as Jerry Clower used to say, armadillo is just "possum on the half-shell"...
