Opossum, please (spelling nazi alert)

Possum is the Ozark spelling. I live in the Ozarks (actually the northern edge of it, but still in it). When I move to someplace fancy like New England or California I may start spelling it with an O, but if you're going to read an Ozarker's post you'll have to deal with Ozarker's spellings.

And I hope Kaz isn't even remotely possum like. I'll admit, the Australian ones are cute, but have you ever seen a North American possum up close after it's had its head inside of a carcass (sometimes its own kind)?

No possum that comes across my property leaves alive, unless I'm too busy or too tired to take care of it.
