taleyaYou know, it's a quiet day. I'm puttering about, cleaning my office.
Let me tell you, when you're sitting there watching The Hound of the Baskervilles, cleaning your keyboard, minding your own business, right up in the list of Things You Do Not Want To Happen is while watching the start with the death of Sir Charles on the moor with the howling and theme music and the spookiness and the dog leaps then a GIANT FUCKING POSSUM FIGHT ERUPTS IN THE WALL BEHIND YOU.
Jesus fucking christ.
Fucking brushtails. They hiss. They screech. They do these fucked up guttural coughs, and I'm sorry non-Australians, but there's no real way to portray the unearthly horrifying KWAAAAAAAAAAAAA-A-A-A-A-A noise they make in the middle of the night that even IF you've grown up around them makes you go "JESUS FUCK WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK WAS THAT?.
The ripping noises of their claws INSIDE MY HOUSE also do NOT help.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Date: 2010-02-22 05:48 am (UTC)These are possums, not Opossums, so very different in look. Brushtails (http://www.jennifermarohasy.com/blog/archives/possums%20blog.jpg) are actually kinda cute, if you don't know what utter bastards they are. (and they're fucking huge.)
The gorgeous ones that live in our garage are ring tails (http://home.vicnet.net.au/~wildcare/Ringtail-Possum-on-fence-HA.jpg). Much smaller, and they just sit there, eat fruit and look insanely cute :D
