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.

Maybe I was just blocking...

...but I JUST remembered something from Monday when I was at home, taking a break from painting. Since it was a weekday, the normal television fare consisted entirely of reality courtroom shows (Judge Judy, Texas Justice, etc.) and the advertisers consisted entirely of pawn shops and ambulance chasers. One ad in particular caught my eye.

It was for Alabama Title Loan. Their spokesman?

Gallagher.

GALLAGHER!! Wacky Seventies icon, prop comic and inventor of the Sledge-o-Matic. (Which he used to smash a computer-generated image of high pawn fees, as well as a watermelon!)

Either pawning the title to your '82 Fiesta generates enough serious dough to attract nationally-renowned comedic stars of the highest caliber, or we have determined a reliable indicator for when it may be time to discuss a career change with your agent.

(Although the former is most assuredly true, in this case I believe the latter is equally accurate.)
