huge gigantic possum from hell →[More:]I just saw it... on the garage roof... so big you could put a saddle on it. Call me crazy, but I think it was toting liquid explosives cleverly concealed in a tube of toothpaste... I found myself pretending to be a bear... I growled fiercely and waved my paws. I figured a bear would beat a possum, right?
Footnote: possum just kind of casually strolled away... (sigh) guess I'm not much of a bear...

I'm imagining a possum with a saddle!

Never trust a critter with 50 teeth. That's more than any respectable animal needs.

That's what happens when you move to the south.

"I'm sofa king we todd it" is my new favorite nonsensical in-joke. Assimilate it, people.

OK - I give up - here's a link to the photo of this Islamafascistopossum...

The all natural toothpaste is a nice touch.

Does recoveringiowan.com have an RSS feed, oinker? I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Hi, danastuporstar! Wow, you would be my first subscriber! I should send you a fruit basket or mouse pad or something! Yes, there's a "subscribe to blog" thing at the bottom of the home page on recoveringiowan.com. I don't post every day and am still fumbling around with the whole "what to blog" thing... but please subscribe anyway! It would give me purpose!

posted by recovering iowan 17 August | 09:19

That's an email subscription? Ok, sure.

OK... BUSTED! Alas, I am old and tragically un-hip in the geekosphere... what is an RSS feed?

posted by recovering iowan 17 August | 09:26

An XML format that allows people to read your blog using a RSS reader, such as bloglines. Your blog software can probably be configured to provide one. Then the Adventures of Osama bin Possum would show up automatically in the reader every time they are updated.

But, noo, I would never bust you. In fact, I'm not affiliated with Law Enforcement in any way.
