Before you license these sweet little possum things you should know that possums have very nasty teeth. Apparently their teeth are really dirty, too, lots of bacteria, so possum bites are bound to get infected. I learned this from an animal control officer. Up close and personal they are also rather nasty looking in the opinion of many people, that long hairless tail I guess. Although that shouldn't put Janice off as she can just think of them as giant ratlings.

I tip my hat at someone gracious enough to winnow honor out of my random associatin's. But fer shurr, my intentions are (almost!) always honorable. Cabbage Patch Possums ...or... in California's high north, where the skunkweed doth grow... Ganja Patch Possums I gotta admit, the possums I've seen back east are surly characters. They don't growl, but they do hiss up a storm. Sleepy in a curmudgeonly way. They have that slow irascible way about them like a sourtempered grandpa who's just been unceremoniously roused from his Barcalounger. Turning these ornery varmints into cute totwear emblems will require an aggressive marketing stance. Possum Market. Yes indeedy. Comatose and hanging by a ratlike tail right over a hungry bear. Bye-bye cash.

"Possum Market: Play-Dead or Real?" Whine-O-Rama quarterly results: (NASDAQ:BTCH) I'm getting suspicious. Sniffing the air. Checking my tail. (Nope, still there. Woah! Where's the hair!) I am, finally, beginning to wonder, why I thought getting into the stock market would be "kinda easy, interesting, and profitable." Is it my IQ? (Well, getting in was kinda easy.) I hear someone say, "Well, it's gotta stabilize, we're approaching our two year low." Great; maybe we'll land. Let me off. Anyone 'round here "involved" with the ever-adorable disk-drive sector? Check out a chart of WDC. We know computers have hard-drives, but maybe they don't. Really; because 4 or 5 giant, advanced companies, what control the market and complex technology, can't sell them at a profit. It seems the CPU and the HD are two fairly essential ingredients of a box, but the entire industry will spend a year making them for free. And they did this same thing three years ago. And said they'd learned. Maybe they thought it would be kinda easy, interesting, and profitable. Bunch of "loosers". Sorry. Now returning you to your regular scheduled de-programming. Mickey Mouser
