We probably don't want to know.
Opossums have migrated into the Lubbock area during the last few years. I nearly stepped on one of the disgusting rat-tailed varmints while I was taking the trash out the other night. It was literally playing possum, sprawled out on the ground watching me with those beady little eyes. Whoever figured out that you could eat these critters must have been awfully damn hungry.
