Wonderful things
I clicked the wrong link and wondered why you’d flamethrower them. My bad
A former coworker found some really small baby possums on a mother that had died in their yard. I still have this pic she posted.
They were sent to a friend who rehabs them and they grew up and went to go live in the wild.
Good thing they let the possums imprint on those MotU figures. Had they chosen the one that smelled like a rancid skunk’s butt, the little critters would’ve grown up mighty confused.
Are you sullying the good name of Stinkor??
Fun fact - They used patchouli oil in the plastic to make him smell, so they might have had a fondness for hippies growing up.
That’s the chap! Funny, I don’t mind patchouli now but my memory was of visiting my cousins and having them ambush me with a horrendous olfactory nightmare in toy form. Guess my nose was stronger back then, or the idea made the smell more impactful somehow. Now I’m thinking less a bunch of baby possums imagining they’re skunks and more a bunch of baby possums enjoying Phish.
