It's some kind of animal, isn't it?

Possums are small marsupials with brown or grey fur, ranging in size from the length of a finger to the length of a forearm (brushtails and ringtails). All possums are nocturnal and omnivorous, hiding in a nest in a hollow tree during the day and coming out during the night to forage for food.(wiki)

It's okay,Jake..I think you could say it was self defence.The cops will understand.

cina said...

Yeah, I mean for god's sake, it could have been a blatant stalker in action!

He could hit me if he wants to. I volunteer!

Possums are small North American mammals that are fequently found dead on the side of the road because they don't scurry along fast enough.

They have gray fur, long narrow snouts, sharp little teeth and bare, snaky, rat-like tails. They are fiendish-looking, but actually rather harmless creatures.

They like to root through one's trash for food.

They're also known as opossums but it's trendy if you're from the backwoods to take off the "o." It's OK Jake. There are a lot worse animals to run over. They have really nasty teeth.

NOOO! I LOVE HIS AVIATORS!! The Blindes are fine too, but I think he looks drop dead sexy in his aviators. :-D

Becky Heineke said...

Very reckless and devil may care- he'll be staying out after midnight and skateboarding in the middle of the road next.

Who knows where this whole throwing-caution-to-the-winds spree of his may end up?!?!

I have only two words for you, Jake.

Donnie Darko.

Agreed. I like this new look too - it's kind of grown up, suave, confident and not a little SEXY

i personally think he did it on purpose!like... for fun. :) After a while we all tend to hate litlle, not fast enough "things". way to go!

*poor possum, after all, Jake was a bit to harsh :D

I believe that Jake's the type that would feel bad if he ran over a possum.

But he's a real city boy.

So I don't think he's the type to throw it into his trunk, take it home & cook it for dinner.

Or toss its carcass back to the dogs for a play-toy.

Nah, too sensitive.

Well, it's the possum's fault now, really, isn't it?! I mean who ever heard of a possum trying to cross a busy street in Malibu! The pedestrian traffic is bad enuf! The damned possum should have known his place. I mean even when he's out cycling, Jake weaves and circles to avoid running over random grasshoppers and spiders and field mice. I worry that this will affect him. He's probably filled with guilt and remorse now.

I once saw a TV program about a British old man who ate roadkilled animals. It didn't matter if they were all bloated and full of maggots, and he ate anything - badgers, foxes, birds... I don't think I've ever seen antything as repulsive in my life. And can you believe the man was married?!

That was my Dad.

I should have known. ;-)

Joyce,

I drive in flip flops all the time. They're safer than you think!!!

But I appreciate your concern for Jake.

britpopbaby said...

My Mum tries to yell at me when I go out with my flip-flops. She says they could get caught in the floor and I might not be able to hit the break. WTF? Has that ever happened to anyone, ever, in the history of time??!!!

Anonymous said...

^^Yes, but they didn't live to tell about it.

I wonder if Jake only has that one pair of flip flops. That type of footwear never seems to rotate like his Nike's.

Anonymous said...

He has more footwear than Imelda Marcos. lol

I love when he wears flip flops so his less than tan feet can have some exposure to the sun.

JadziaDragonRider said...

He might slip his flip flops off to drive.

This seems like a very Guilded Moose entry. That's not a dis. I love GM. Not more than JW though! *kisses*

Oh Joyce, trust me. Flip Flops pose no threat to others on the road. I am an excellent driver.
