Saturday Matinee – Oddness, Beat Girl, Hang & Guitar, Procol Harum & Brownsville Station

[Found here by way of somewhere else.]

Procol Harem’s 1967 hit, Whiter Shade of Pale, was a great song even if nobody cared what it meant.

Brownsville Station double header. I give credit to any three-man power group that can pull this kinda stuff off, even if they were only remembered as a one-hit wonder.

Welcome Finicky Penguin, Guest Poster

[Folks, FinPeng has been around the blogospheart at least as long as I have, commenting and blogging with some of the best.  Several months ago he went scooters and abandoned the whole blogging thing…  and now he’s back, as a guest poster.

He’s got a different style of posting than we do here at Tacky Raccoons, but we’ll put a bowl of kibble in front of him and see how it works out.  So let’s all give a round of applesauce to Finicky Penguin!  YAY!  –Bunk]

Howdy, anyone who reads this first sentence or further. I’m Finicky Penguin, and you probably don’t know me from my old blog, Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Soda, now an archive of awesomeness. I’m not sure why I named it that. I never really liked The Beatles.

Anyway, if all went well, this is on the site and I’ll be making guest posts from time-to-time.

So, what is awesome?

  • Wikipedia says something awesome inspires awe.
  • Urban Dictionary calls it something Americans use to describe everything.
  • Wikipedia in Svenska says awesome kan ha flera betydelser.

But I, above bulleted lists, prefer to not put awesome into words. Instead, I prefer to show awesome in picture and video. Now, tell me this isn’t awesome:

Chainsaw Bear HiJinks 0701129

(Found it here.)

See that thing? It’s a bear. With chainsaw hands. You’d think it’s impractical, but look at it this way–

bears = awesome &

chainsaws = awesome, so

bear + chainsaw = double awesome (doubleawesome).

It can seriously dice your body so it can eat your fresh meatcubes. But what could make it more awesome? Sunglasses and a motorcycle, but if someone tried to construct a picture like that, their head would explode. I mean, there are several pictures of bears on motorcycles, but they lack the sunglasses and chainsaw hands, and that merits less awesome points than all three combined and the chainsaw picture, but more than the sunglasses.

This is the kind of stuff you get from me.

So anyways, hope to post again sometime. Sayonara.

Dang. Forced to sit between Smiley Guy and Habitual Neck Scratcher, AND caught on camera.  I’d be the one sitting behind him flicking peanut shells down his collar.

You just can’t make this stuff up.

“So I told the genii…”

“… I said, ‘Genii, for my second wish, please return my manhood to its previous size. Now for my third wish, I want a small house in a beautiful valley, with a fireplace, running water, an unlimited supply of cold beer, and with fishing nearby.’
God I hate geniis.

Pay No Attention: Redux

stinky-people_moonbattery-090526

On 27 May 2009, Tacky Raccoons offered a creative challenge that apparently stumped all of our readers, except for one.  That challenge was met by  a man of good honor, obsequious habits, and great initiative.  Above is the original image from here.  Below is the excellent modified and annotated image from VE:

Of course, I gotta add my own snarky takes as well, below the break.

Saturday Matinee – Possession(?), EMW, Rex, Howlies, Demitri Martin & Harry the Hipster

Interpret it as you like. Found that here.

[Cool video found at Ivan’s Place.]

This one’s been around, but I found it again via the Divine Ms. C.

The Howlies had an excellent video of  “Aluminum Baseball Bat” that was pulled from the Utoobage.  They’ve resurfaced with this new one that’s ALMOST as good as their original.

Demetri Martin is Steven Wright minus 30 years, but with a guitar.  The Question and Answer Song was improvised…  (I’m certain that I posted some of his stuff before.  If not, let him know.)

Who? I suspect Harry the Hipster. (Thanx for the fin, Feng.)

Face.
