From: GUEST,Cleigh O'Possum As a longtime icon and mascot of Mudcat, I find this thread very offensive to me and my brethren. I hope someone can find these atrocious words quickly so that this thread will go away. That nasty Cletus has already been making fun of me and were it not for Catspaw's intervention, I fear he would have done me harm. The last ime I was this offended was when the thread ran asking for a song called "Five Pounds of Possum in my Headlights Tonight." |
