That problem was the no alcohol was involved. You can't shoot 'possums sober.

This guy should consider turning one of his chickens into a dinosaur. That would give the opossum a night to remember.

[crossgirl]

never take a gun to a chicken fight.

I'll bet the possum went back and bragged to all of his little possum friends about it.

Assassin.

Ev-ar.

I had a teacher in high school who put two possums in her trash can. She thought they were dead. They were just, of course, playing possum.

Her husband had to reload a six shot revolver when he missed repeatedly.

This is not news...it's more like a farside cartoon.

That Tenbrink is clever, tryin' to play possum.

"It’s sore, but if you don’t think about it, it doesn’t bother ya,” Tenbrink said.

Having been shot a couple of times when I was a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, I can attest that it is "sore". Frankly, more "sore" than h3ll...

And I DID think about it, and it DID bother me.

Apparently, my booze consumption at the time was much less than this guy's current consumption...

'nuff said

Should've used a car instead of a gun.

You'd think it would be easy to peg something that plays dead.

I wonder if he has as hard tough a time with beaver.

[Marvin]

He should have tried jumping in the river first.

I see an appeal by Plaxico Burress in the near future.

Have you ever SEEN a cornered possum? A mouth full of nasty, sharp needle-teeth...
