Possums and Puds? Really? February 18, 2009

Posted by Lipstick in Ducks, Travel.

There’s a problem with too many possums in New Zealand, so they’ve figured out a solution –  make possum socks for me:

possum-small

I’m afraid to put them on in case they propel my feet out to the garbage cans of the neighborhood.

But I really don’t know what this is all about:

The larger question is why you would buy bright red socks?

Pud licker.

2. Tushar - February 18, 2009

Puds? Do they sell em by the pound, or do you have to pound them yourself?

3. kevlarchick - February 18, 2009

Put those socks on, missy.

Or at least bring them to the IB party as a “hostess” gift for Michael and Cathy. The dogs will chew them right up.

I left a contribution to the IB vs Hostages thing here
It is #5 so you do not have to read it all

So there are enough possums in Kiwiland to make, what, three pairs of socks for Lipstick?

6. Cathy - February 18, 2009

Cad burys Puds, huh?

7. skinbad - February 18, 2009

That chubby Santa brought a sleigh full of confidence and a sack full of puds.

8. wiserbud - February 18, 2009

You know who really loves to lick chocolate puds?

Rosetta.

9. Lipstick - February 18, 2009

Brewfan, I got the red because I’m just going to wear them around the house to keep my freezing feet warm.

10. BrewFan - February 18, 2009

Hey! I thought Dave in Texas posted this!

*face turns same shade of red as socks*

Sorry Lipstick, I know you’re not a pud licker!

11. Lipstick - February 18, 2009

Sorry Lipstick, I know you’re not a pud licker!

Not in the Urdu sense. (Ugh, just looked that one up!)

Where’s Musli when you need him?

13. Muslihoon - February 18, 2009

Well, technically, “fart” in Urdu is پاد paad or پادھا paadha.

In Punjabi, a “fart” is ਪੂਦ pood indeed.

14. eddiebear - February 18, 2009

^thanks for clearing that up.

Now I know what to put on my cafepress shirt

15. Vmaximus - February 18, 2009

What? no comments on Tat’s it is boring here?
I have FAILed!

16. Lipstick - February 18, 2009

If that.

17. TattooedIntellectual - February 18, 2009

Aww Vmax, they’re just unappreciative.

18. TattooedIntellectual - February 18, 2009

And those Pud things are friggin’ delicious.

19. Wickedpinto - February 19, 2009

Lets hope they stay in NZ, and not AU.

BTW, I picked up and held a tasmanian devil.

They ARE viscious, but they are much louder than their bark, and I started to climb a tree to retrieve a Koala, but I was warned that T couldn’t cary me out of the zoo we broke into.

Really, I love that story, because, I keep trying to say to myself that we didn’t break into a zoo, but, no, we really did, and it was HER idea, not mine.

Not to mention I hate australian animals, I hate them, except the koala.

okay, okay okay, that wallabe’s liked me, but the roo’s just loved T’s hair.

There’s something to be said about breaking into a zoo, cuz if you just walk through a zoo during open hours, you don’t see a red and a grey get into a fight over who gets to touch an american’s girlfriends hair.

Please, expand, go into detail, and include video.

I got to hold a baby kangaroo at Wings Wildlife Park in Tasmania.

22. wiserbud - February 19, 2009

My wife and I got to feed kangaroos and had our picture taken with a koala bear while in Melbourne. You have to be very careful around a koala, because they have no rib cage annd you can crush their hearts very easily.

We then visited an old gold mining town, where I ate kangaroo stew.

23. daveintexas - February 19, 2009

A koala tried to punch me in the pud once.

ONCE.

24. Lipstick - February 19, 2009

That’s interesting, wiser, I didn’t know that about koalas.

What does kangaroo taste like?

25. wiserbud - February 19, 2009

What does kangaroo taste like?

chicken.

Actually, it was kinda like beef, but it was in a stew, so it was kinda hard to notice any difference.

26. wiserbud - February 19, 2009

That’s interesting, wiser, I didn’t know that about koalas.

Well, that’s what they told us. It may have just been their way of keeping us from trying to steal one.

27. BrewFan - February 19, 2009

I shot a koala in Reno once, just to watch it die.

28. Lipstick - February 19, 2009

Hey now!

You probably just gave it a squeeze and broke its little heart.
