Furman at Mississippi Negative Nancy

[FUTex]

Quick question to help build the mojo for the Ole Miss game:

If Clay Hendrix and Seven-of-Nine had a baby, what position would it play?

FAMNNT BATT CCLOT

[Davemeister]

There was a possum walking along my neighbors fence early this morning. My dog was losing it she wanted to get at that possum so bad. But she is only knee high and stout so she can’t jump that high. I kept waiting for that possum to vomit on the dog but it didn’t. It just hissed real loud and went down into my neighbors yard. I wonder if it knows Madine?

I fear for Madine's safety. Danger lurks at every turn. The stakes are high!

She must have Secret Service protection.

[FUTex]

Did anyone interview that possum on Cave's fence? Does anyone know where it went after it went to the neighbor's yard?

Here's the point - Madine does not have the best security right now. Its not 24 hour protection, at all. She's sitting in a dog kennel on my back porch (covered). We don't have cameras back there.

Your porch must be slightly sloped…thus, impossible to protect.

I asked my neighbor if he has interacted with the fence walking possum. He looked at me funny and asked what did I mean? I went on to explain marsupialization, possumry, mojo and meth addicted possums to him. He seemed to look at me like something was wrong. He didn’t say a word but went into his house, closed and locked his door and closed his curtains. Really strange.

DPLOT.

This is my other neighbor. Not Isaiah who left the morning off the Western game and ain’t back yet. We’ve taken care of his animals though. Funny how I have never seen a possum on his property. Ground hogs yes possums no. Goats, chickens, an emu and a duck that thinks it’s an emu. I keep waiting for him to show back up.

[FUTex]

If I had a goat I'd return for it.

Madine had some bad days. She appears on the mend now. I need to keep her in proper trebuchet shape. It just wouldn't do to hurl a sickly possum.

[cavedweller2]

The goat is cool. Keeps the grass cut, though it’s not a uniform height, and the bushes trimmed. Environmentally friendly. Emits occasional methane and free fertilizer.

[FUTex]

That does indeed sound like a cool goat. A real jim-dandy. I think AP would like to hear more about this goat you speak of.

As a side note, I have a theory that the reason UFOs visit our planet but rarely stop to make contact is due to the build-up of goat methane. Its just too much.

[Davemeister]

We should use goat methane as fuel. It's renewable energy.

Peabody Hotel, where ducks come to the lobby's indoor fountain every day. 70 min from Vaught/Hemingway Stadium & 15 min from Memphis Airport. Devoted Furman at Mississippi Negative Nancy-ers are expected. Word is out that some guy will bring 6 ducks from Furman's Swan Lake as guests for the event event. Do not miss.

Though swans and ducks have learned to coexist somewhat peacefully, possums are the natural enemy of both.

FUBeAR smells trouble a-brewin’ in the King’s hometown.

I’ve been to the Peabody. I’ve seen the ducks. I’ve seen where they hang out. It is distinctly possible to catapult a live possum from the roof of the Peabody through the air into the Mississippi River. Or into the baseball park across the street. Or turn the catapult away from the Mississippi river and launch Madine over the top of not only the duck house but the Peabody itself. Right into Beale Street.

[FUTex]

Cave, it is nigh upon impossible to launch a possum from the top of The Peabody into the Mississippi River using medieval siege engines. The distance is 1,492 feet. We would have to disassemble a mighty catapult or trebuchet, haul the parts up to the rooftop, re-assemble the contraption, and hope our engineering is sufficient to hurl Madine into Old Man River over 3 football fields distance. We have to be realistic here.

Likewise, Beale Street is a distance. And we'd have to have the arc really high to clear the buildings and hit pavement right on Beale. We wouldn't want our Madine to go crashing through a bar window. Well, maybe we do. That's a tough call.

BUT, we could sneak a smaller device up to the rooftop and chuck Madine into the baseball field. That's doable. We'd have to clear the stands right behind home plate. Having Madine splat onto the exterior of a baseball field just won't do. That would be tacky.

Also, Affirm or somebody mentioned bringing some Furman ducks to The Peabody. Great idea, yet it won't play out well in the execution. A Furman duck would stalk and kill every last one of those Peabody ducks. Furman ducks are not to be trusted. They're vicious. And the swans are worse. Bitter, hateful hateful waterfowl. Ungrateful turd factories.

I had an incident with a Furman duck back in 1980. I got the short end of that exchange, let me tell you. Its enough to say I did not go back in the ring for Round 2. A few weeks later I liberated some Cesium from Dr. Trubeck's chemistry lab - it was in a jar in kerosene because Cesium hates water something fierce. I unscrewed that jar and tossed it on the nesting thingy where my nemesis duck was abiding. WHOOOOM; it made like a yellow colored dome eruption a good fifteen feet in diameter. F you duck, and F you swan.

I understand consideration is being given for possibly moving the Furman at Mississippi Negative Nancy convention to another venue relatively close to but not too close to Vaught/Hemingway Stadium or The Grove at Ole Miss. Moving it would alleviate all concerns and all thoughts about the Furman ducks. I understand that nominations for another venue are being taken. No offense intended to Memphis or to The Peabody or to The King or to Beale Street, etc. but the convention /social event probably needs to be within Mississippi anyway. No offense to Mississippi either.
