Damn I thought there were a whole lot of these guys

DannyBoy , in Are you a real patriot?

If I'm a real patriot why would I support an opossum with a different country's flag on it?

What has my patriotism got to do with some rodent on another continent?

Real patriots love unique animals on any continent!

Fun entomology fact: The modern understanding of the word is directly connected to the people of that continent. But for the success of the American revolution, you might be deeply offended to be called patriotic.

There is one!

Ima edit in the info because my brain farted, but it's a cool short story I read back in the day in Asimov's science fiction magazine.

Edit 1: I'm not finding the damn thing in my files, and internet searches are so crap now that the results are useless, but I'll check on my pc in a bit and see if I can find it there. But first, a note. It's only one possum, he's just a one possum army of sorts

Edit 2: aha!

It was by Neal Barrett jr, and the title it's Ginny Sweethips' Flying Circus. I'm not sure if the story is in any of his published books or not, but the story exists on the various file sharing options, though you may have to dig, or find someone (wink wink) willing to send you the file via telegram

A "posse of 'possums" if you will.

LodeMike , in I'm beautiful

So well

weariedfae , in Best Hat

Want!

Anticorp , in Sounds great to me!

Remember that friends episode where Joey and Ross become nap buddies? Your post made me think of that.

pantyhosewimp , in Sounds great to me!

Send the dogs to a kennel so they can’t wake you up after 6 and half hours.

Fester ,

Remember to open a portal to hell to keep your cats distracted as well.

RamblingPanda ,

My dogs are very good sleepers, usually I'm awake way before then.

That sounds like bliss right there

Especially if a soft fluffy blanket is involved

psycho_driver , in The story of Butter, the sweet and loving rescued opossum

I wonder if they can be trained to go outside to use the bathroom like a dog?

samus12345 , in Aw, shucks! Thanks, guys!

What, you don't want to be in heaven with all the "loving" Christians??

Evil_Shrubbery , in Aw, shucks! Thanks, guys!

Aww, it is kinda wholesome.
