Tyler and his Spear

I was trimming the trees and this opossum popped out and hissed at me. It scared me to death. I called Tyler at work and he was home in 5 min. I laugh every time I watch this even though it freaked me out.

Steve and I have watched this 3 times. I have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. You've made our day! Tyler is awesome and I'm so glad Karen brought out the video camera to get the event on film. We have a mouse problem in our house, Tyler can you help spear them???

I keep watching this over and over...and then I come back to watch it again...that's awsome!! Do I dare ask what happened to it after??? I think that you've got yourself a new Orkin man!!!

Honestly, you would be famous if this got out to the entertainment world! At least put it on you tube or something! That is the Tyler I know! I love it!

You know Tyler, I heard that the California Opossum is an endangered species. You could be jailed or at least incur a substantial fine for your barbaric activities. Save the animals! Save the elves!

Mike wants to know if you bbq'd it or made opossum stew? Yuk. I am grossed out, and Heather laughed so hard she almost cried (and she is sending it to friends.) You were very heroic. ;-)

Tyler, Wow! I just have one question. How did you convince your wife to go out and trim the trees? We have a couple of coyotes around here that could use a good spearing.

Okay, so as I watched in horror, I totally got sick to my stomach. Afraid I might puke, I held the trash can near and kept watching because I was RIVETED!! Then I called PETA. ;) Your bravery is stunning.

My wife and I watched this video over and over again. We thought this was joke! You being a goof ball and all. I even jumped off my seat when you stuck the opossum in the neck!! And we laughed so hard we were on the ground for at least 10 minutes, crying our eyes out! LOL! Amparo loved it!! You are freakin hilarious!! Karen is lucky to have such a heroic husband to save the day!

Did you actually stab it? I just watched it again- with Lolo- and she's the one crying now. Oh...watch out, Lolo's mad! She said "He's so RUDE!" "That opposum can come to my yard, I'll let it in our house, it can hang everywhere."
That is kinda sad Tyler. Haven't you heard of catch and release???
Oh...I forgot to mention I was on the board of GreenPeace. Your busted buddy!




Just kidding.
