Wide open garage door, angry dude with pitchfork, and the possum was more interested in hissing and hunkering behind the lawn mower than running for obvious freedom 2 feet away.

No joy. Eventually he was going after it like it was a piñata. It only left when he kept hitting the head and it couldn't get a bite of what it was after. -- Drew

"It is illegal to be a possum in the state of California" - (Andrew Grygus) - (21) - May 30, 2013, 09:54:56 PM EDT

Yeah, it's understandable, but still disconcerting. - (Another Scott) - May 30, 2013, 10:07:05 PM EDT

Would never have considered a possum stupid. - (static) - (15) - May 30, 2013, 11:08:48 PM EDT

They also have a long naked tail like a rat . . . - (Andrew Grygus) - May 31, 2013, 06:09:09 PM EDT

If your attack is going too well, you're walking into an ambush.
