As if Dropping the Carp Wasn’t Bad Enough…
By Tom Chandler on Jan 8, 2007 in Underground Entertainment
The collective outrage of the Undergrounders over the lowering of a Carp on New Year’s Eve (instead of a crystal ball) was palpable. (Well, actually, no one really cared).
But that’s all changed with this news:
Those sadists in North Carolina Lower a Possum.
“Dropping the Carp” has already entered the lexicon, and dare we say, “Lowering the Possum” offers an even richer euphemistic vein to mine.
And note the important notice at the end of the news story. Alcohol and lawn chairs are not permitted at the possum lowering.
How could one witness a possum lowering without alcohol?
Once again, the Underground brings you the outdoor news that really matters, though we wonder what other fish, fowl or marsupial is being lowered out there…

I went to a dry wedding once. ONCE. Arguably, the only thing worse would be a dry possum lowering.

Yes, without alcohol, the bridesmaids retain some sense of propriety.
I can’t say with any certainty the same is true of the possum, but it’s likely.
