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.

Richard Gere Wins Waffling Prize for Giraffe Quote
LONDON (Reuters) - Actor Richard Gere's animal magnetism has won him the unwelcome accolade of being declared the year's worst celebrity waffler by Britain's Plain English Campaign.

Once voted the World's Sexiest Man, Gere Wednesday carried off the campaign's Foot in Mouth award for 2002's most baffling celebrity quote after comparing himself to a giraffe in a newspaper interview.

"I know who I am. No one else knows who I am. If I was a giraffe, and someone said I was a snake, I'd think, no, actually I'm a giraffe," he told Britain's Guardian newspaper in June. [...]
Wow. You know, if I was a possum, and someone said I was a giraffe, I'd think, no, actually that's that moron who gets millions of dollars for being a movie star.
