Call me crazy.. but I brought home a baby possum from work today and going to try and tame it as a pet. Many say they are ugly critters.. but I guess that is in the eye of the beholder. From what I have read, it is not difficult to domesticate them. If anyone else has tried this, I would be interested to hear about it.
6:00pm Update..
Wow.. this thing seems to think I'm its mother. It's been chilling on my head for over an hour now. Doesn't try to bite and seems to love grape jam.
By the way, I'm sure possum taste great.. but this one will be spared from the BBQ.

When I was a kid my cousin found a baby possum and tamed him. Little thing would hang upside down from your finger, and it followed him around for several months as I recall until one day it finally waddled off into the woods and disappeared. Call of the wild.....
I like grinding up the meat and making tacos. Ahh yes, Possum Tacos, they ain't your mommas Tacos.
