Happy Holidays
FOUND by Slash Coleman
I found this during lunch at work on the break room table. I think it fell out of a co-workers lunch bag.

I'm only here for the eggnog.
I love that Nicole named the possum. George is a great name for a Christmassy critter.
"Possum" is spelled wrong;)
I wish he would visit my house.
The pumpkin pie, George... don't forget the pumpkin pie!
Loofa: Actually.. it's spelled correctly, unless they meant opossum, but they're two entirely different creatures. Ask wiki!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Possum
Actually, "possum" is the correct spelling. In some areas, it is referred to as "opossum".
I'd ask him to visit my house, but after that woodchuck we had a few years ago, I don't think he'd be welcome...
who cares how its spelled?
We have yet a Christmas gopher come to visit us once yet every December at the machine shed. He brings us Pepsi and revells in his little teeth. We do so much yet enjoy his coming. Obah yo!
I hope no one cornered George at the snack table.
We used to have a possum who summered with us near the Jersey Shore. His name was John Walter.
Don't listen to them, they're all wrong. How would you like to spell "possum" honey?
We care how possum is spelled. If you're going to name us the WRONG name, then you damn well better spell our species correctly.
And I'm a GIRL, stupid Nicole. How about if I just call you Richie?? Huh? how do you like that?!
I'm sorry, I'm a little cranky. You didn't leave the eggnog out on the porch like you promised.
Mike, seriously, you've got to do something about this possum.
yeah I had a unlce George that used to stay in garage for the holidays too... my mom used to call george sly as a possum.
and who are these people fighting about spelling... get a life
This is a statement and response note. Nicole advised Mike of the possum and Mike clarified the situation. Note the g and y differences.
"I'll hug & squeeze him and call him George "
At least he won't eat much of the christmas feast
people who pretend to be possums in driveways and garages are freaks. so are people who know the difference between possums and opossums.
I think it is so strange how people call weirdos with no name, and animals George. I'm glad that my name is not George.
This note is so cute, but did Nicole write the first part about seeing George, and then did Mike respond?
Sounds like 2 different people. Mike named the possum, right?
Mike seems like a fun guy. Rather than feed Nicole's unease about the possum, he made the situation amusing.
Meanwhile, Alan the raccoon seems to be spending Thanksgiving and Christmas in my neighbor's tree, and Monique the rabbit has been driving my dogs crazy because she's been having her relatives staying in my shed for Hanukkah.
Well, I see I was wrong. Opossum is North American and possum is it's Australian relative.
"...every year the Great Marsupial rises from the most earnest trash bin to deliver presents to all the good girls and boys..."
Bri, invite the rabbits to stay 'til spring. Nothing like rabbit stew for Easter. (The kids get a bit sad, though.)
Mike's not very funny, That possum bit my grandma and she died of rabies, so we won't be having a very merry christmas. Mike will, with his new friend George
Word up! Possum is the singular possessive present of the word posse. (Like curriculum and curriculi or alumnus or alumni).
So, what went down could have actually been a gang related incident like a home invasion, ya' know.
Possums are Australian. Ever read the book about the Possum and the Vegemite? Anyway, I like this note - it's cute. I want a possum called George to come live with me.
This just keeps getting better. I don't get to have a "pet" for Christmas. :-(
Have fun, Mike and Nicole...
Possums is good eatin'. At least dey don't stink up on yer like dem skunks. Come get yer possum pie!
We had a nice couple of resident raccoons when I lived over on the isthmus - Baron Alphred vonDumpshterdiner and his lovely wife Gertruda. When the pickin's in the trash can weren't good enough, they would knock on the door.
i'm not gonna lie about it, my favorite part about this site is (often) the comments. you all should be commended for your cleverness.
Uhhh Rollin' with my possum we're gettin' kinda' bored--
there's not another possum with more points scored--
My possums on broadway-- possum up!
we have a possum around our suburb...it like the bush outside my window...its the most scary, gross sounding creature. it is even scarier when u are half asleep.
wow.
my day was shit
and i found this site from PostSecret.
this note made my life worth living again some how...
Gosermer, you made me laugh so hard I inhaled a peanut.... seriously I have permanent lung damage....
I love this find, because my name is Nicole and my little brother's name is Mike, and we grew up out in the country where things like possums, woodchucks, skunks and all kinds of little critters were often sighted. This seems like a note we would have written...me scared to death of the EVIL POSSUM THAT WAS GOING TO EAT ME PLEASE GO GET IT, and him being a smartass as always. Heeheehee.
