Seems to me that it would’ve been cheaper to order a hamburger with a couple of toasted extra buns, but that involves a lot of planning and logistics, not to mention the aggravation of travel time.
I’d have sent it back because the beef is not on the left half side, just to see how the pizzaman resolved the problem without using Elmer’s. Of course, if I did that, pizzaman would block my phone number. Not worth it.

Cool photo, especially because it allows me to generate blog traffic from all the pervs with another great post title. [Image found in here.]
I think it’s a male. [Found somewhere in here.]
Patchwork quilt pattern generator for folks who want to generate patchwork quilts. Great gift idea [via The Presurfer].

According to this nonsensical website, the energy used to load Tacky Raccoons could power a 100W light bulb for 30.731 seconds! Woohoo! [via Woosk.]

Cleverbot is amusing. I went as far as I needed to, starting with:
“Who is Cleverbot?”
“I am, what are you?”
“What am I?”
“Yes, what are you?”
“Cleverbot?”
“Ah yeah…”

Interview with ice sculptor at Orange County Fair 2010.
Haven’t had any Leon in a while. When he was on the Tonight show, he didn’t know what Diddy Wah Diddy meant… or so he claimed.
Ry Cooder covered Diddy Wah Diddy, too.
Here’s Captain Beefheart’s version of a different Diddy Wah Diddy, and with that we’re out until tomorrow. Have a great weekend folks.
[Update 7 August 2010 - Forgot to add that The Fabulous Thunderbirds did a great cover of Bo Diddley's "Diddy Wah Diddy." Couldn't find a video for either versions.]
Sure it’s a funny picture, but the story is anything but.
Spectacular project of Sebastian Errazuriz in 2006 (“Memorial of a Concentration Camp”, Santiago, Chile):
“A 10-meter magnolia tree is planted in the center of Chile’s National Stadium where dictator Pinochet in 1973 imprisoned thousands of political prisoners who were tortured and killed.
After planting the tree, the stadium doors are open to the public as a park, offering a space to stop, look again, and remember.
An impossible, cathartic soccer match played before 20,000 people, closes the project after a week of activity.”

Wow. Didn’t think we’d still be around this long. Mostly, we didn’t think at all, just got up did it, starting on 3 August 2007, and we’ve since passed 671,000 views!
The year certainly had its highlights. We had our busiest day, 18 October 2009, with over 20,500 hits. I was invited to post on both AmyOops and The Blogmocracy. Amy’s site is kind of a cornocopia of oddness, and The Blogmocracy is more about current events where I provide innocuous fodder for the Overnight Open Thread. It’s all a lot of fun.
We opened up The Tacky Raccoons Store for TR paraphernalia. Our new FaceBook page was hacked and deleted, but it’ll be up again soon. Thanks to all who logged in.
This post is a retrospective of our past year, listing the Top 10 greatest hits of Tacky Raccoons from August 2009 to August 2010. Previous years’ greatest hits are here and here.
So here are the Top 10 of the past twelve months, with last year’s rankings separated by an appropriate slash. NR = no rating, indicating that the post either didn’t make rank or wasn’t posted last year. Click on the images to see the original posts.
