Once, my neighbor’s kitten was trying to play with a possum. I used a folded up chair to try gently nudging the possum into leaving. It rolled over and held its paw as if it were broken, and I felt awful. Then I realized, oh, that’s why they call it playing possum.
I’m an introvert who actually likes going to parties (as long as they’re not TOO LOUD). I can usually find a fellow introvert there to sit off to the side & people-watch & talk with. Some of the best times have been when that fellow introvert is the host’s cat (which made people think I was drunk on my butt even though I wasn’t – staying with ginger ale so I could drive home), but I’ve been known to get into such deep convos with fellow human introverts that we end up being the last ones there (& helping with cleanup, of course!)…

Oh he’s good. Drop dead and didn’t spill a drop.

Yep. You can tell by the fact that the win’s still in the goblet.

He did’nt have a cigarette to suck on or a phone to swipe. Felt too akward to converse.

Impossumable behavior.

I can’t do that anymore, at my age they think its real and call an ambulance.

Love the the wine glass is still upright . . . a dedicated introvert.

…or when he’s had enough alcohol.
Saddenedby Premium Member over 1 year ago
have to remember this for the next party – I think I’ll spill my drink though to make it more realistic

Like how he’s keeping the wine glass level.

Very nice move.

Can I have his wine? LOL

Reminds me of the character in Jurassic World who is running while keeping his 2 margaritas from spilling. Anyone know who played that character?

I’m outgoing and sociable, but most parties finally end about 45 minutes after I’m ready to leave.

And didn’t spill a drop so you know he’s faking it.

I took a nap on the floor at a wetting-down party in Japan. Next morning, worst sake headache of all time. Gave up drinking as a hobby.

The giveaway was that he wasn’t going to spill his wine if he wasn’t really dead.

And he didn’t spill a drop!

Seen that before……

WHAT?!?! That works?!?! I gotta try it.

As do I. Takes me, oh, 15 minutes.

How I feel when the TV is on too long and too loud!
ars731 over 1 year ago
Have to try that some time.

He does have the presence of mind to keep his wine glass vertical while he’s horizontal
l3i7l over 1 year ago
I’ve done that a time or two. Even dozed off while holding a beverage. Was woken up when somebody tried taking the drink out of my hand.

He’s just playing possum.

he’s not really a party animal…
