I've got to say, possum and coon don't sound like they'll be on my top ten list of things to eat.
I also don't think I've heard of many people who drink wine while watching football. No reason why you can't I suppose. Guess I always thought of football as a beer sport.
Also, I've seen thingy (thingie) spelled both ways. I don't think the objection was to the spelling, it was to the use of the word. I imagine hunting forums probably don't play host to the word thingie too often. Although, in my defense, I wasn't the first to use the word. That should count, right?
