Possumblog

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.

Via Marc Velazquez, the website of Mr. Fred Reed. Fred represents everything all civilized people aspire to "Good Lovin,' Better Dogs, and Really Low Dives. Guns, Trucks, and Triple Integrals" ::sniff:: I know his mama's proud.

Marc suggests that Mr. Reed be given an place among the pantheon known as the Axis of Weevil, given his tenure in his tender youth here in the Cotton State (where he learned about the wonders and benefits of powdered magnesium.) Who could deny a man of such depth, such caring, and such appreciation for large caliber firearms, a place among us? And, given the fact that he is a real journalist, he might even be able to swing press credentials for us so we can attend important stuff like political conventions and the Miss Nude World Competition.

It is then with great pride that the Goldenrod Sport Blogging and Baking Society Board of Registrars and the Alabama Department of Corrections does hereby confer upon one Fred Reed the high and mighty honor of membership in the Axis of Weevil, with all the rights, privileges, discounts at selected pharmacies, and heartache pursuant thereto. Mr. Reed will be receiving the world-famous Axis of Weevil Gift Pack, consisting of: Dreamland ribs, gallon jug of Milo's sweet tea; a G-Lox Wedgee 2 Gun rack from Mark's Outdoor Sports for his pickup; a package of Bubba's Beef Jerky (according to Dr. Weevil, this is homemade and is available only at the gas station at the end of Highway 82 in Bibb County); three piece, 24 ounce box of Priester's Pecan Logs; a box of Jim Dandy grits; one quart bottle of Pilateri's Steak Sauce; and a coupon for free Kool Seal for the roof of his trailer (Jimmy, who lives next door and has a condition, does this for people as a method of expressing his artistic side.)

Welcome, Gyrene Reed!

UPDATE!--Upon receiving his e-mail notification of his entree into our hallowed ranks, Mr. Reed responded with the following:

Beats hell out out of a Pulitzer, and the company is obviously better. If I had time, I be happy to participate. In any event I'm honored to the gills.

Best,
Fred

Rest assured, Fred was quickly informed that his contribution need not take the form of a daily blog (due to the invocation of the Calvinball Rules) and that his pithy columnar contributions were more than adequate. So, thanks once more for your continued fight against all that is stupid!
