Well, now I've done it...

I mentioned the story yesterday about the wild hogs loose in Florida, suggested they call Billy Joe Bob's BBQ Emporium, and managed to get Cletus upset!!

[...] Cletus just came in from reading Mr. Possum and said that he thought that Mr. Possum was our friend. Bubba asked what made him think otherwise. Cletus said that Mr. Possum had insinuated that we used wild pigs for our barbeque. [...]

I never said no such thing, but you know how perception becomes reality if allowed to go on, so let me say one more time that Cletus and Bubba and Billy Joe Bob have no greater friend in the world than the editorial staff here at Possumblog, and that in no way did we intend to demean the fine porcine products so ably and tenderly smoked and flavored by the gentlemen at the Emporium. We regret any confusion over the intent of the comment about the news story--our only thought was to 1) point the authorities to someone better able to dispatch hogs with supreme efficiency, 2) dispose of the carcasses in an enviromentally-friendly and flavorful way, 3) allow Cletus and them the opportunity to go to Florida on someone else's dime, 4) provide the necessary basis for a long and interesting series of posts for the Compleat Redneck weblog, 5) such posts maybe being useful for the Emporium, its staff, and various and assorted hangers-on to parley into high-paying careers in the money-laden publishing industry.

In fact, should any of you wish to know some of the money-making secrets that have propelled Possumblog into the lucrative and exciting world of literature, please send me $20 (U.S. currency only) and a self-addressed stamped envelope and you will receive "Secret Get Rich Quick Ideas That Can Fit in a SASE!"*

So, boys, please accept my humblest apologies for any mistaken or mispoken words on my part.
