DRTvini:<\/b>\tApparently, they make yarn out of New Zealand possum fur<\/a>. Clearly, I need some.
\nTessima:<\/b>\tYou do not.
\nDRTvini:<\/b>\tI do so!
\nTessima:<\/b>\tNo!
\n
\nDRTvini:<\/b>\tHow can you resist something called “Superwash Possum Worsted?”
\nTessima:<\/b>\tWho are you going to pawn that off on?
\nDRTvini:<\/b>\tYou don’t want a scarf in Superwash Possum Worsted Eggplant?
\nDRTvini:<\/b>\tMaybe I can give it to someone, and AFTER they wear it, i tell them it’s possum.
\nDRTvini:<\/b>\tBesides. It’s only 30 percent possum.
\nTessima:<\/b>\tAnd what’s the rest?
\nTessima:<\/b>\tHigher or lower on the food chain?
\nDRTvini:<\/b>\tIt’s sheep.
\nTessima:<\/b>\tSheep and possums should not exist together in a garment.
\nDRTvini:<\/b>\tThey don’t mention whether they scrape the possum off the road<\/a>, but I’m betting they don’t.
\nDRTvini:<\/b>\tOooh! Now, you know you want something made of “Possum Fingering.”
\nTessima:<\/b>\t… no.
\nDRTvini:<\/b>\tAll the cool kids are wearing it?
\nDRTvini:<\/b>\tYou’d wear mohair, wouldn’t you? That’s brushed from goat bellies!
\nTessima:<\/b>\tI don’t like mohair, either! Itchy.
\nDRTvini:<\/b>\tAlpaca?
\nTessima:<\/b>\tYou want a petting zoo.
\nDRTvini:<\/b>\tA dead, spun petting zoo that I can re-form into my own garments of the damned.
\nTessima:<\/b>\tWhat a cozy thought. Just what I think about when I think about a woman with knitting needles.
\nDRTvini:<\/b>\tDid you know that a baby alpaca is called a cria<\/a>? Making the act of giving birth… yes… criation?
\nTessima:<\/b>\t…
\nTessima:<\/b>\t[Tvini]!
\nDRTvini:<\/b>\tI could not make that up.
\nDRTvini:<\/b>\tYou disbelieved me and looked it up, didn’t you?
\nTessima:<\/b>\tI didn’t!
\nDRTvini:<\/b>\tDon’t mock the woman with needles!
\nDRTvini:<\/b>\tPossum hater.
\nDRTvini:<\/b>\tI want to livejournal your possum hatred in this conversation.<\/p>\n

She was afk, but so incensed was I by her blatant anti-possum bias that I livejournaled it anyway!<\/p>\n

All I know is that somebody’s gonna get a little possum present under the tree this year. Count on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
