Possum in a Barrel

Hey ma, I caught some vittles.

For the past few mornings when David and Matthew went to the shop to feed the cats they found this possum at the bottom of the barrel. They put a lid on it to keep it out, but it just kept on getting in somehow. Well, it shredded the sack and pooped in the catfood, and now the cats won't eat it, so we had to buy some new catfood. Well, anyway, here the cute little guy is. He's just a great big rat. Hey, maybe the snake will eat him. Let's try it. Herman wouldn't have to eat again for six months.

Joshy, Joshy, Joshy


Sometimes you just have to get away from it all, and a wood basket is such a nice place to hide.
Josh is such a great kid. He works hard, complains little, and keeps the family light hearted.

Who's the Alien?


The object of the game is to identify the alien. I thought it was a no brainer. Just look at Kelly. He was Agent Orange I think. Rachel was the cook, and she fed us well.

We had salad, pizza, and finger foods.
But then Josh, (But-Lur the butler) was a bit strange too.
He would come into the room every so often and anounce that the next course of food was ready, and would give us clues from time to time.
I think that I was the only truly normal one there, but as it turned out I was a weird fish creature with webbed feet and gills, named Speed-o Litener. I had Mary figured out. She was my girlfriend early on, but on one of our dates she morphed into some puffy thing and started going out with Klaus Encouter. I got even. I started going out with Endira DeWorley (Emma). We escaped to the radioactive Bikini Island.
Ammon was an interesting character. Dexter Terrrestrial. He had buttons on his shirt declaring his favorite causes. They read: "Make a friend, kiss a dog," "Stop global warming, eat more ice," "Free Shamu, cage Humans," "Habitat for Bigfoot." As it turned out, he was a trator to human kind siding with the shape shifting, puff-girl Alien.
David was Koushpa Tater, an apparent foreign exchange student from Lithuania. But as it turned out he was not.
Emma was a time traveler making a fortune by telling fortunes.
As it turned out, Mary was the Alien. All of us were strange in one way or another, but, Mary, she was the one.
Mathew was a nerd named, Roon Lite. He didn't fit in, but was in the middle of everything.


I think mom's costume was the best. She was Miss Ariel LeSalt, the bungee jumping, sky diving, wilderness freekshow, alien bounty hunter who had the victims brains sown into her but. Now if that's not suspicious. Just to see her with her hair pulled back, camo's, and sports vest and boots was worth it all.
Thanks Wheelers for a great time. We'll never see you the same again.
