Once again, I'm just typing for the lil feller, so I'll let him take it from here.

*************** ****************** *****************

Dear Friends,

First I want to thank all of you who supported me in getting my very own picture page on the Mudcat Resources site. I especially want to thank bbc and David for giving their time and talents and space. Catspaw says that I represent something, but I know I'm just a little clay possum, but I'm a very happy one to be a part of Mudcat. I was trying to think of a way that I could help out, and then just last night.........

Jeri and Catspaw were bantering with Max on a thread and Max said it would cost a dollar to talk to him at the FSGW in DC in October. Catspaw said he'd pay $20. for a picture of Max blowing up my rearend. Well I got to thinking that maybe this was a way I could help. What about a group shot of all the 'Catters who attend the FSGW, with Max in front, giving me a little puff? Now I know that bbc will probably put it in the picture pages, but wouldn't you like YOUR OWN GLOSSY COPY? Catspaw can pass the hat in DC starting with his own $20., but what about all of you who won't be there? Maybe you could put a dollar or two in an envelope and Catspaw will send you your own copy and donate ALL you send to Mudcat. Max may not want to do it, but I will.....and if he agrees, there'll be a little extra money for this place that's given me my life and my name.

It's awful hard for a little clay possun to help out much, but maybe I can do this for all of you and the 'Cat. Thanks again for my picture page.

Cleigh O'Possum

Uh, yeah......Well OK, I can arrange this I guess. The little guy's kinda' all fired up about it. In DC, I'll pass the hat, but for the rest of you, I'll be happy to work out the details if you want your own glossy copy of a big group of 'Catters with "Fearless Leader" huffin' on the possum.

Too much, catspaw--the way your mind works!!! All fired up, indeed! (bbc, shaking her head in NY). I knew it. Once you let your standards slip, where does it lead? Masses of people playing back-up to a 'possum blower! My, oh my. Take your mail orders before we make the picture public on the site, ok? More suspense.

love,

bbc (crazy in NY)

Do we each get to 'blow the possum' and get our own picture, or is it only Max who gets that honor?

Actually you can make a case for my mind NOT working!!! Just like a guitar, exposure to the elements and poor care has created sinkage and warpage which has ruined a once fine instrument.

I see I should have checked the threads before sending you the message Beebs..........no matter, Thanks again. And good idea on the pix. Let's also keep the glossies to 5x7.........I'll see what kinda' deal I can cut.

Hey Bert.....Cleigh says he'll make himself available to all for photo opps......he's an equal opps possum. But I think that were I not going to be there myself, I'd cough up a few bucks for a glossy group shot with Max/Cleigh in front...........

Dick - are you saying you'll blow a dead goat to raise money? Hmmmm? Or that you'd pay money to see it?

Folks-- Do remember where that 'possum's rear has been. Everytime you blow him, it's just like kissing spaw, Rick, etc., etc., etc. Art, have any ideas for us on this dilemma?

Hey, folks, stop worrying about catching anything from kissing that possum's butt: it's a holy icon--it cures diseases, it doesn't transmit them. --seed

oh, I'm sure there'll be SOMETHING there to dip it in between puffs that would disinfect a REAL possum!..

Catspaw, I will give 5 dollars for the photo and another 5 for the shock treatments which I feel that you are now in dire need of. For godssake the freaking possum addresses us in these humble and sincere posts that I feel certain you are incapable of even faking! That means A) There is indeed a possum who is addressing us, or B) This "possum" personna is a manifestation of what Freud identifies as the "separation of the personality", one of the latter stages of full-blown schizophrenia. I urge you to make haste in getting to the Psychotherapy Dept at the Young Center, strap yourself to the gurney, bite the rubber strap, and let Doctor Buzz Zapper and his little electrode pals do their work!

Deepest Concern, LEJ
