Not in the clamor of the crowded street, not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, but in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

REDIRECT ALERT! (Scroll down past this mess if you're trying to read an archived post. Thanks. No, really, thanks.)

Due to my inability to control my temper and complacently accept continued silliness with not-quite-as-reliable-as-it-ought-to-be Blogger/Blogspot, your beloved Possumblog will now waddle across the Information Dirt Road and park its prehensile tail at http://possumblog.mu.nu.

This site will remain in place as a backup in case Munuvia gets hit by a bus or something, but I don't think they have as much trouble with this as some places do. ::cough::blogspot::cough:: So click here and adjust your links. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it's one of those things.

R.E.M.'s Stipe tells trial Buck is a 'southern gentleman'
[...] "He's just not a person who is rude to anyone," Stipe told Isleworth Crown Court in west London. "Something that people don't often know about the American South, there is what is called a southern gentleman, and Peter is my definition of such. He is someone who is considerate of all people, gentle and polite. That is why this whole thing to me is absurd." [...] Prosecutors say Buck acted like a "drunken lout" after consuming 15 glasses of wine on the flight. They say he overturned a breakfast trolley, mistook a hostess trolley for a CD player, claimed a stranger sitting on the plane was his wife and tussled with crew members, covering them with yogurt. Crew members have testified they pulled Buck away from an exit door after he announced he was "going home" mid-flight.

Michael, I've seen Southern gentlemen, and I've seen drunks. Pete Buck is no Otis Campbell!
