I call the big one Bitey!

This is what Hugo Chavwez referred to as "21st century socialism."

But do you eat them?

I know two guys in GA that do after a few weeks on the cleansing diet.

No. You don’t eat them. Nasty animals. I think they’re probably even listed under unclean animals in the Bible. I’m not eating them. - Not gonna mistreat them; but also not petting them either. They will tear a housecat up.

They should send in our akita. She nabbed a pretty good sized one just last night. They’re coming in to feed off the wild cherries and slugs.

Actually, I don’t have much against possums. They are ugly and stupid, but they don’t chew up the house, dig holes in the yard, or invade the attic. They ignore everything unless they get cornered. They generally are disease-free, and they eat pests, too. And they don’t spray our dogs when they get barked at.

They get extra points for being marsupials and those prehensile tails, too.

My old copy of Joy of Cooking includes a section on how to prepare Opossum. The newer editions, unfortunately, have no such reference.

Well these two guys in GA that referred to in my previous post do.

I wouldn’t either. Heard it’s real stringy though...

If you were in or around DuPage County last summer, you would have heard the SCREAM!

My wife was talking with friends near the door, the dog wanted in. Unnoticed was the dog's new toy!

The SCREAM came when she entered the house, to find both dogs and the new toy, a live opossum in a hot pursuit.

Being Australian Shepherds, they did not want to eat it, just play.

By the time I got a shovel from the shed, they had it cornered and the possum was playing possum.

Took weeks for things to return to normal.
