Sunday, 4 December 2011Crispness is clumping, the geezer’s getting flat, and here are some gift ideas for friends and family. Everyone knows someone who needs a coffee mug, a sweatshirt or a totebag with at least one of these classic, trendy and timeless designs by that Bunky guy.
My favorite is the one at top left.

How can you improve upon improvised pirate swords?
“Bobby! Let’s play pirates!”
“Great idea! I’ll go get the Plastic Guards! I’ll be back in an hour!”
Clever idea, but it won’t fly. Any kid who grew up near fallen branches could tell you that swords of the windfall variety don’t last long, and once your weapon has broken you need to find a replacement fast, otherwise you’re declared dead by default. Stopping to change your guard guarantees it.
Oh, well, it’s the thought that counts, and I wish I’d thought of it first.

How To Win At Hoseface
Wednesday, 26 January 2011
Oh, man, this is a game I’d fight to get in on. I don’t care if it was manufactured and sold by Hasbro, Milton Bradley, Ohio Art or Whammo, the pure psychological strategy of this simple game is awesome.
First step is to show up to the party early. Then get the ante to a decent level, and once the pot is there, that’s when you talk about how you practiced with the set earlier. Of course you don’t remember which color you practiced with, as you start sniffling and hacking a bit. (Complaining about a slight fever helps.) Then start the game immediately, and without hesitation, hock up a loogie into the trash can.
Gentlemen’s rules say anyone who quits forfeits the pot. INSTANT WIN!

Merry Christmas, and I hope Santa brings you what you wish for.
Another Great Stocking Stuffer
Monday, 6 December 2010So you’re getting your daughter a Heathkit stereo preamp for Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Other, and you need some ideas for stocking stuffers. Strippers and dykes are always handy for working on electronics, but she’ll flip when she finds a My Little Pony Soldering Gun in her little Doc Martens that were hung by the chimney with care.
Consider it a safety measure, as she’ll no longer have to heat up a piece of bent coat hanger wire over the gas burner with your needle nose pliers in order to solder resistors and diodes, and she can move her projects off of the kitchen counter and into the living room next to the Christmas non-denominational holiday tree. (Don’t forget the fireproofing!)
This holiday gift-giving hint is just one more benefit to all loyal patrons of Tacky Raccoons.
Frank Tends The Machine
Tuesday, 30 November 2010
For those of you who have never run across the artwork of Jim Woodring, you’re missing out on some of the most surreal (and sometimes disturbing) pen and inkwork that I’ve seen. Woodring based a lot of his subject matter on hallucinations he had as a child, and decided to record them on paper.
His most recognizable character is Frank, a good guy who goes on bizarre adventures, often accompanied by Madame Pupshaw (sort of a cat) and Pushpaw (sort of a dog). None of the characters speak.
We’ve posted some of Woodring’s work previously. He did me a nice favor once, so I don’t mind suggesting that you visit his store for unusual gifts for the hard to get folk.

Tip o’ the Tarboosh to Savage’s Girl of The Blogmocracy for bringing this must-have product to our attention. Not much to say about it, but I don’t think I’ll be shaking hands with Mr. Boudreax any time soon.

Toys that feel and act like snot are always welcome in Bunk’s House. Almost as much fun as the real thing, too.

According to this website, it’s a “Falcon Ergo Grip with the little gapper item,” and it’s only $30! Whatta deal! I’m gonna order “the little gapper item” first, just to make sure I like it and that it fits. You’ll be the first to know.
