“Wot’s ‘Taters’?”

Sunday, 23 October 2011


The Missus pulled up a weed last week. At least she thought it was a weed, but forgot we’d planted some taters in the garden, and now we have a home-grown po-tay-toh. The picture doesn’t do it justice – believe me, it’s awesome, almost as awesome as this vid from 1991:

Hot Lynx

Sunday, 16 October 2011

When I googled “Hot Lynx,” this came up. No explanation offered.

Cool illusion bro.

Gladys Knight sings her hit “Neither One Of Us” a capella. Here’s the original with the Pips.

Think you’ve got a good eye for colors? Try this hue test. (I got a score of 17.)

Throwable 360 degree camera ball has a thingy that detects the whatsit and takes pictures at the whatchamacallit so that you can look at where you were in 3D. If you get one, I want you to lob it into the polar bear exhibit.

(h/t to planetross for telling me something I should’ve told him.)

If you missed the linky quietly added to the sidebar, I’m on Twitter, and I’m collecting followers. No content, one single tweet, that’s it. Retweets will bring you good luck and stuff.

Cropped, but otherwise unadulterated screencap of today’s Drudge Report made me smile.

The Hotlinks Next Door

Too stupid not to share.
Slow to load; worth it for the lulz.

Penn Gillette speaks about charity, government and God.

Bizarre: Spammer arrested in Montreal.

Do Not Click This Link, especially if your speakers are turned on.

How to draw The Simpsons by a Simpsons Artist.

In Ten Words is a nice theme blog. Ten words max per post.

What kind of man follows Tacky Raccoons? Dan dances with dogs, but also shreds the blues.

Attack Waaaaatch!  Can you imagine the msm outcry if any GOP candidate put up a website like that? The whole Big Brother concept of “Attack Watch” is so ill-conceived and smarmy, I’m stunned that Obama’s reelection campaign staff would even consider such a bone headed stunt. Regardless of your own political affiliation, you’ve got to admit that the video is funny.

Our cat just hacked up a fur ball, and dissed the President:
“Brak. Braaak. Barrrraaack!” I’m gonna snitch.

The ScenicBruiser: Another One Rides The Bust

Wednesday, 17 August 2011

Roll up for The Tragical History Tour of all 57 States on The STIMUBUS!

To be fair, that’s the tour bus from when Obama was campaigning for President Senator Governor Mayor Teacher Community Activist, and we apologize for the innocuous snark – NOT. It appears that he’s envious of someone else’s bus tour (whose name we won’t mention, but her initials are Sarah Palin).

Doug Ross@Journal posted what is purportedly a sketch of Obama’s ScenicBruiser, but it’s intuitively obvious to the casual observer that the image was cropped [view original here; click on the image below to enlarge].

The original image was definitely cropped as it eliminated the trailer labeled “Fox” at the rear. At first we thought that it might be Michelle’s private trailer, but everyone knows that her caboose is much bigger. Therefore it must refer to FOX News, installed as a design afterthought, with a hydraulic pin to make it easy to disconnect. (And, yes, the steering wheel is on the wrong side, as Obama cruises on the left.)

Hot Links of the Beat Generation

Geese Teeth here.

Zoom Zoom Zoom” by Jimmy and the Barbarellos is great a capella.

Wow. I’d never heard of “Action Park.” This amusement park was so dangerous the owners were forced to buy additional ambulances for the local hospital.  Lemur King mentioned it here, with additional links here, here and here.

Holy Poop! We’re Four Years Old!

Thursday, 4 August 2011

Yes, you got that right. On 3 August 2007, Tacky Raccoons belched itself into the blogosphere with little fanfare and a mere handful of hoopla. Now it’s 10PM on the eve of this auspicious occasion, and I’m caught with my pants down and my skirt over my head trying to figure out what to do with only two hours to go, so let’s do this.

Yeah it’s fuzzy until you click on it and see that we’re over 906,000 sharp views, and most of those are prolly Chinese and Russkie bots, but we’re holding strong at about 20K per month despite school being in recession. I don’t know wtf happened in October 2009, but I’ll roll with it.

Oh wait. I know. Let’s have another rundown of the most popular posts for the last year, just like we’ve done for the past three years.

So here are the Top 11 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.

This year, we’re gonna start with No. 11 because it’s only been up for a short while, but got a wad of hits.

No. 11/nr- The .Gif Friday Post No. 185 – 80 Beetles

No. 10/nr – The .Gif Friday Post No. 145 – The End, Near Miss, Cat Attack

No. 9/nr -Pre-ChatRoulette FAIL

No. 8/5- Lesbian Amputee Dwarf Porn

No. 7/3 -Giant Woolly Bear Caterpillar Discovered Near Las Cruces, NM, Predicts Global Warming for Decades to Come

No. 6/nr -The .Gif Friday Post No. 93 – Cat Fish Robot Jam

No. 5/nr -The .Gif Friday Post No. 108 – Eat It, Walk It, Pump It

No. 4/nr -Death Row Barbie

No. 3/4 -LOL Ferret Episode 1

No. 2/2 -Amy’s Motivational Poster Collection

No. 1/nr – Capybara Lapwarmer

I gotta tell you, I’d never have guessed that Ms. Capylady would make the top ten, let alone make it to Number One on the 2011 Tacky Raccoons Hit Parade.

I’ve traded a couple of emails with Ms. C since this was first posted, and I congratulate her on her meteoric rise to the coveted position on the TR Top Ten.

And that’s exactly what makes blogging fun.  In four years, I still don’t know what’s gonna get a hit. I just toss out whatever amuses me, and I’m happy that some of it amuses you, too.

64.7% of Non-Registered Eligible Voters Support a 3rd Party

Tuesday, 10 May 2011


[via]
According to a recent survey conducted by StruttsPolls™ a large majority of 22 year-old white male non-registered eligible voters would support a 3rd party because they couldn’t remember the first two.

64.7% of the non-registered voters polled in Rudy’s backyard last weekend said that they’d register to vote if the Party Party was established. The remaining 35.3% wavered between the Toga Party and the Hot Chicks Naked In Jacuzzis With Beer Party.
