Did y'all see the possum stop play at Alex Box just now?

[CadaverDawg]

Haha, only in Louisiana or Mississippi does a possum get loose during a baseball game. Awesome

Yeah, someones dinner escaped.

Yep, escaped from a stewpot in the tailgate area.

Gotta love Ben McDonald saying on National TV that he's eaten possum before. I like McDonald

Followed up with how he has also eaten a raccoon as well.

Coon is good, man, seriously. Just make sure a paw is on the carcass, and you're good go go!

oPossum? Nosir. Not even trying that.

[Skydawg1]

Followed up with how he has also eaten a raccoon as well.A few games ago he was talking about going to see grandma and found some chicken feet in the gravy. I live in Central MS and do see chicken feet in some of the grocery stores. They have lots of flavor, so I hear.

Little known factoid, the North American marsupial is actually opossum. However, the possum does exist as well hailing from Australia.

I'll show myself out, thanks.

It's amazing to me what some people will eat. Might be some sort of genetic holdover from Colonial times when they had to eat just about anything to survive. You even still see what appears to be pickled eggs in some small country stores, along with other disgusting things. But regarding eating a possum or squirrel ... I'd just as soon eat a rat.

Haha, thanks. I knew the proper spelling was opossum, but as a Mississippi boy that has seen many "possums" in his day, and pronounces it "possum"...I just can't bring myself to spell it with an O at the beginning.

I knew it was opossum (or actually o'possum, isn't it?) but didn't know there's an actual animal legitimately named "possum".

[DancingRabbit]

Maybe this guy lost one of his pets.

I just always assumed it was your typical Mississippi shortening of a word. Ya know, like "Missippi."

Squirrel is damn fine eating. Squirrel and dumplings is the tits.

He didn't exactly dress up for the game, huh? They must not have a dress code. Looks like maybe he hasn't had his monthly bath either, and his jeans have a few miles on them. And that could be a purple wife beater he's wearing. I'll bet that gal next to him in the red is a real beauty too ... got her sleeves rolled under to fully show off her flabby arms. Probably a pack of Camels under the left sleeve.

No kidding...and she didn't shave either...I thought Northern Miss fans had some sort of a dress code?

Interesting. I suppose, given the highly educated and scientific makeup of members of this forum, we should from now on refer to the thing by its correct name, the "opossum". It doesn't make the animal any more attractive, but it does lend a hint of sophistication to any discussions thereof. I wonder which term the boys from UMiss use ... since they're essentially "Harvard' educated ....

[the59dawg]

Tis good. Can't find it anymore. A litle coon in those dumplins ain't so bad either. Good flovor.

[RocketDawg]

Ha. You're right ... "she" didn't shave. Or maybe its a shadow. Or could be he identifies as a she under the new laws .... Regardless, he/she is ugly as hell.

[RocketDawg]

LSU is about to win the game in the bottom of the 9th.

[Percho]

You could smell a skunk outside Dudy Noble today.

[DownwardDawg]

I would politely decline an offer to partake.

Do you eat deer or rabbit? Squirrel is the best wild game you will ever eat. I'll eat squirrel over deer or rabbit any day!!!!

[starkvegasdawg]

Yeah, someones dinner escaped.

He's in a corn dog now.

[dawgoneyall]

I can hear Mainieri saying today "This gumbo tastes different. What did you do?"

BTW...I have eaten possum. Once.

[dawgoneyall]

Both marsupials but name is about the only thing they have in common. With a degree in Zoology I call it opossum just to differentiate and prevent confusing anyone thinking I am talking about George Jones.

[trob115]

Squirrel is damn fine eating. Squirrel and dumplings is the tits.

Fried is good too.

[starkvegasdawg]

Squirrel gravy on some homemade biscuits.

[Bully13]

I want no part of possum, squirrel or coon. I prefer to just let those animals be.

[BulldogBear]

Squirrel gravy on some homemade biscuits.

I still like my tree rat battered and fried

[DancingRabbit]

When I was a kid a buddy and I were out exploring and came upon a dead cow. We tapped the carcass with a stick and out comes a possum from the cow's ass area.

BTW, I've never eaten possum.

Eaten coon once or twice at a deer camp cook-out. Squirrel, rabbit and venison lots of times.

[dawgoneyall]

They do....picture doesn't show the pink socks.

[Duckdog]

Hell yes! Squirrel brains and grits for the win. Anybody trying to dog on pickled quail eggs isn't a man.
