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.

Maaaan, that's some good sh...

Nah, too easy.

UPDATE: I notice in my Friday morning blog stroll that Mr. Goldstein beat me to this punchline by three hours. What can I say? Great minds think alike (only some are very slow on the uptake.) And thanks to him for bringing up the vaunted Alabama Cow Pie Likker story. And as for the cousins, it's less worse if they don't have the same last name.
