Make sure to use the Axtell Possum with your dominate hand. Real possums have sharp teeth!

Good tip Regan! And make sure you know which one is the Axtell, before putting your hand in the dominate place!!!

James, you keep saying "O-possum'. Are you gettin' uppity on us? You are from Slapout, Alabama. I have been to Slapout and I am pretty sure that you are intentionally adding that 'O'!

Glad you got that spelling, Chris. Thanks for the possum offer, too, but you had better train them for me. Otherwise, all they will do is hiss at me. Better yet, get one of their upcoming babies and train that little one. The babies are adorable and once you have bonded,'O', you will love that possum!

Bob, this year at your Magic Valley Ranch, I would like to see an award called "The Golden Possum" for close-up, parlor and stage magic. I can see it now...a golden possum with a little pointy hat, doing cups and balls and a big possum grin. Nice, eh?

There is that "o" thing again!

As an alumni from Magic Valley Magic 1, may I suggest an Alabama Armadillo Award (AAA?). Then, maybe I can compete even though I've moved away. That way, using Bob's analogy of Alabama armadillos, if I'm lucky enough to win, the award will fit easily into an envelope!

Very clever!

I just acquired a possum today and hope to find appropriate music for my possum zombie. Might as well do real down home possum magic. I'm also taking suggestions for a name for the little critter. I don't know what sex it is. I thought of Marsi, for marsupial. Any suggestions?

I'd go with Larry; who wouldn't love a possum named Larry? And don't forget to make a little fez for him cause fezzes make all critters more loveable.

LOL Shriner Possum Larry! Cute.

Autumn,

When I first got on The Magic Café some people had a problem with my dialect, so I have tried to help out all the unfortunate souls who are not from the South. You know the people from the north and the far west.

The correct word is Possum without the "O".
:coolspot:

I used to tell people I was from LA and they would say Los Angeles and I had to correct them and tell them that was "Lower Alabama".

You knew it would just be time until Possum Magic took over at the Bunny Heart Theater at Magic Valley Ranch.

Is that a ZOMBIE cloth??????? I can see where this is going!!!!

Hmmm...I don't know about this... Just the thought of Zombie possums gives me the creeps!

Night of the Playing Dead?!?

LOL!!

Your zombie foulard looks like a tablecloth! Oh, MY! Hmmm...How about this for your possum zombie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2d-D1qM9dY

That's right! And if there is a lot of company to feed we can always add a couple of boxes of "Possum Helper" to help spread the possum to feed more folks.

Just when will y'all be here?

The possum is practicing. I sure hope he's a quick study.

From the looks of the roads out here, "QUICK" is NOT a possum characteristic.

Oh! I know, it's their trick to see if they can get the buzzards hit by a car!

Now I know why Lucy did buzzard magic first.

Bob

PS --- And she really did do buzzard magic first! (They are much too big for a good zombie and won't play possum.)

OK, now you guys are just making me hungry...
