Is this some sort of metaphor for Whites and niggers?

They eat their bodyweight in ticks and don't carry lyme as they groom the ticks off so fast. Need to have more of them around. I use to hate on them, but now I realize the good they do and as an emergency food source, they're an easy high protein meal.

"This fat fucker abducted me, gave me a warm house, hugs, kisses and fed me! I'm gonna kick it near that place all day."

Possums are great to have on your property because they eat a shitload of ticks and other insects and they eat snakes.

My friend asked if he could leave his truck bedliner at the edge of my field and that he'd get it later and I said sure. I went down there one evening and was gonna pick it up and move it and as I picked it up I felt something standing on my boot. Looked down and there was a fat momma possum with some babies gathered at my feet. She wasn't the least bit shitty with me although I've known of them to bite the fuck out of people. I just sat the bedliner back down and she stayed there all winter. I bought a bedliner that I didn't want. lol Later after she was moved out I moved it into the edge of the woods and possums and coons use it. I anchored it down with cinderblocks because i know the autistic fuckers are wondering.

I picked up and held a juvenile opossum I found in the front yard. They are pretty chill and they're super soft too. They're pretty cool, ugly as hell but I don't have a problem with them.

Domestication is not the same as taming. You can tame all sorts of wild creatures. Domestication is a process that takes many many generations, possibly hundreds of years and changes a species on genetic level to be more useful to humans. Cows are the result of domestication from aurochs. Dogs are the result of domestication from wolves. Elephants can be tamed. Elephants have never been domesticated. The more you know.

They shit everywhere, even where they sleep.

Raccoons and possums are vermin, rodents, not pets.

Get a dog you uncultured swine.

Neither raccoons nor possums are rodents.

Regardless, dog, every time.

You forgot to preamble your comment with "Actually".

ACKSHYUALLY, possums and opossums are marsupials, and raccoons are procyonids.

Wasn't sure how to express the proper amount of phlegm and spittle via text, however.

Thats the type of response I was aiming for, A+.

That didn't happen and obviously you don't know anything about opossums. I won't say it's "not" possible to domesticate them because this one already is.

Opossums are nocturnal animals so if you see one in the day time SOMETHING IS WRONG with it. They also smell like ass because usually they just ate the ass out of something. And you would not just pick up a wild opossum holy shit no.

The couples skit is cute and that's what this is, cute.
