THERE'S NO LONGER A OPOSSUM IN MY GARAGE!!

Postby CAJUN LADY » Mon Sep 20, 2010 1:55 pm

And I think its been in there all night!

I was just outside cutting some wood to make my Redneck antenna when something caught my eye to the left. Thinking it was my neighbors cat who hangs out with me I brushed at it telling it to get out of the way. It moved over and it wasn't the cat!

I swung the board at it but now it's hiding somewhere in my garage. I'm not afraid of them but it did startle me...a little bit. :oops:

The reason I think it slept there is there is poop on top of a box that wasn't there before and one of my coleman canisters was on the floor on the other side of the garage. It was on a camping shelf and the only wayi it could get knocked over is "something" had to try and pass between it and the other camping stuff.

I left the garage open hoping it will just get the heck out of there.

Damn opossum.

Possibly a better use:

Creole Possum
1 slightly injured possum
1 cup mayonnaise
8 cups pig fat
2 cups buttermilk
2 fresh green peppers

Method:
Slice green peppers and mix ingredients in a large bowl (exclude possum). Cut possum into chunks or thin strips. Mix possum chunks into bowl. Transfer contents of bowl into a casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees for two hours. Remove from oven, let sit for half an hour, and serve. ENJOY!!

If you left the door open he probably called all his kin to come on over.

Go to the hardware store and get a bottle of red chalk for a carpenter’s chalk-string box. Very carefully sprinkle a thin line of the chalk around the inside perimeter of the garage.

Possums drag their tails as they walk…that’s why their tails are hairless. Sooner or later, he’ll walk across the chalk line…get the red-a$$, and leave.

:lol: Y'all are too funny!!!

The opossum has hauled opossum a$$! Brian came home early to help me chase him out. We had to take a lot of stuff out of the garage because it kept hiding. Finally it ran under my SUV, jumped on top of a tub/bin full of fishing poles and stuff and stayed there.

Well, we moved the bikes out of the way and turned around and we couldn't find it. So we started all over going through the garage and in the meantime, I start to carry the Rubbermaid bin full of fishing poles out of the garage and the damn opossum pops his head out.

I dropped that bin so fast! Brian and I pushed it to the street and knocked it over the varmit took off waddling across the street.

I won't be leaving my garage open anymore. :no:
