@cleokaya Re: my clip. It was for a 48 hour film challenge – a 6 minute film written, filmed and edited within 48 hours, which also had to include a designated character, a prop and a line of dialogue, with the genre pulled out of a hat. This was my only scene.If you go to the actual youtube page, you should be able to scroll down and find the full film in that playlist.I just refrain from directly linking from this account or putting my name in indexible text to skirt around the google beast’s bots.
And while I’m on a commenting roll… I’ve just remembered: I ran into Emery the other day (the hula hooping busker), and you’ll be happy to hear that he’s grown a massive, awesome beard that he kept in a knot under his chin.
I used to live in a mobile home. Every once and awhile possums would move in. I didn’t let them stay long though as they would spend all night moving around and rummage around my heating ducts which made an awful clanking racket. I bought a humane trap amd would catch them with dog food, then haul them several miles away.
I’ve got to agree with the comments about eBay and PayPal. I’ve used both services frequently, because thus far there’s nothing better out there for the small businessperson or average curio-seller, but every time I use it, I feel like I’ve been boinked in the bung. Sometimes you can get free insertion (ha! ha!) but there’s always the end (ha! ha!) value fee, which also includes the shit uh, shipping fee, and then PayPal comes up in the rear (ha! ha!) and takes their own shot. Half the time I realize it’s not worth my time to sell something for a buck, what with the listing, and packing, and shipping effort.
Possums are disgusting! Ever since I saw one crawling out of a dead bloated cow’s ass, I run over or shoot every one I see. Since they moved northward to Michigan about 15 tears ago, we have less partridge here . They are a menace to bird life, as you have stated.
I’m opossum-neutral but for the haters, some small comfort might be in knowing they have a very short lifespan relative to similar sized animals. They also have tiny brains for their size so the French taunting is true for them (except maybe the part about wiping bottoms).
Chalk me up as a ‘possum hater. We lived in Detroit just after we got married, and our house had a grape arbor over the drive and part of the back yard. Gawd, those grapes were a supermagnet for all things wild. We had every kind of bird, opossum, raccoon and coyote in there eating the things (but surprisingly, I never saw any rats). One winter I was out shoveling snow in the drive when I heard rustling in a garbage can. I opened the can to have a ’possum jump out and start ambling away. I smashed its head with the shovel and scooped him back in the garbage can. Shocking but true, I’m an unrepentant killer.

Welcome back. Not quite sure what your avatar is, but I think you may be boasting just a little bit.
Now, is there anyone else who should be reinstated?

Re: Logical word for fear of one’s comic strip characters…
comoediapersonaephobia?
Comoaedia : Latin for comedyPersonae : Characters in a play or novel
Having no actual knowledge of Latin, I had to wing it.
