I really have no choice.

I'm like the little town on the side of some highway that got bypassed by the Interstate. Before it opened (or before Google decided Possumblog was unworthy), I could count on a pretty steady stream of traffic wandering by--sure, they were all hopelessly lost--but even if they happened on Possumblog by accident, at least there was something here they could use to help them along in their daily routines. Stupid made-up facts, weak jokes, manatee recipes, pointing and laughing at Democrats, daily feedings at the reptile farm AND rattlesnake venom milking--it's all still here, but since they opened up that next section of expressway, it's like a ghost town now.

Since it seems I now have completely lost any chance of being able to rely upon the once substantial amount of happenstancical traffic that used to stop in, it's obvious that I only have one option left if Possumblog is to survive.

Thus, I would like to announce that I am releasing my very own rap album!

Hmmm, what "songs" will you do?

1. Plain White Rapper (oops, covered by Vanilla Ice)
2. Go'sum Possum?
3. Ban the Fee for Manatee (it's hard to rhyme for "manatee")
4. The AlGore Eco-Score
5. Goin' Back to B-Ham
6. Sweet Home Abalama
7. Weevil in da DeeVille (see note on 3)
8. Volvo Stylin'
9. All My Homies Are Old Chubby White Guys
10. Daddy's Got Broke (or Da Kids in Da Wallet Again)
11. Bloggin' Blues (this is the one where you pour your heart out over the slowdown in hits to your site)

I have to have song titles!?

Dern.

This is going to be harder than I thought.

Calendar! You need to put out a calendar.

Hmmmm--I do have a whole stack from the Rexall Drug store down the street that I could use. Of course, I'd have to paste on my own pictures, and they are from 2002, but other than that, they're in perfect condition.

Hmmmmm....

I knew traffic would drop when you got rid of the drunk cat pictures. That used to really drag them in off that internet super highway.

I'm going to do a calendar of drunk cat pictures to include with my rap album.
