I don't normally go in for this type of humor, but I was checking out www.joecartoon.com and in the middle of one of his cartoons it flashes to a couple of guys who are referred to as "former NASA scientists". I choked on my beer, because the long haired hippie on the right is my rockstar cousin. Talk about being surprised.

You have to wait for a 20 second commercial to run, then the cartoon starts. Kinda funny in a Southpark sort of way. Lots of other weird **** there too.

Well..... that was...... different. Weird that they got a hold of a picture of your cousin.

 

I tried calling but 1 800 GET SUM isn't enouf numbers. thats not rice "its like car jewlery with a purpous" Dude I didn't know your cousin was a fourmer NASA scientist. JK... Awesome find. I use to watch joecartoon when I was younger. I didn't even know it was still around.

Really if I had a big *** truck I'd so buy that if it were a real product. But possums are hard on the radiator.

 

I talked to my cousin just a bit ago, and it turns out the Joe is local to me and he has hung out with him on occasion. I guess that explains the photo. Supposed to be a pretty cool guy, so maybe I'll meet him sometime. Can't say I really dig his humor all that much, but I'm sure somebody, somewhere, must.

 

My appreciation for his humor is one of the dark secrets of my life.

Until now, I guess.

 

Those animals have always had a special place in my heart, they're just tryin to eek out a living just like you and I, lol.
I have friends down the street from me that had one fall through thier ceiling at night,(yes, I live in the ghetto) the husband had to put a box, or bucket on it to contain it, and remove it from the house. I saw a dead one in the road on the way to thier house one time, and joked that the wife ran over it on purpose.
Here's some pretty cool pictures, not quite as cute as the cartoon. http://www.aaanimalcontrol.com/opossumgallery.htm
