The Doctor is in, but where is Ellie Light?

These are the folks who search for stuff on the internest.  These are the same folks who find Tacky Raccoons by searching for stuff on the internest.  These are the top 20 search requests over the past year that these folks used to find stuff on Tacky Raccoons. Go figger.

  1. ferret
  2. wooly bear caterpillar
  3. batmobile
  4. motivational poster
  5. woolly bear caterpillar
  6. amputee porn
  7. giant bear
  8. babe
  9. motivational
  10. mission viejo
  11. giant caterpillar
  12. dwarf porn
  13. motivational pictures
  14. steampunk
  15. woolly bear
  16. stained glass
  17. gif animations
  18. ninja cat
  19. ferret pictures
  20. pillsbury dough boy

None of this matters, aside from being a curious list, and that I’m honestly surprised that Igde Pshat didn’t show up;  not that anyone would google it, or that anyone would search for  fuldkommen gak either for that matter. We’ve got bigger ducks to fry. It kinda bothers me that neither phrase showed up in our most-wanted google list.

I’ll get over it. Meanwhile…

The big question today is, Who is Ellie Light?

[Update: Ellie Light is found.]

Saturday Matinee – Freedom, World Climate Control, Flo & Eddie, Neil Young (and A Poll)

Sure it’s simplistic, with the 1949 cartoon stereotypes and all, but that doesn’t make the message wrong. Worth watching.

Koko and Fitz try to change the climate.  Fleisher’s “Out of the Inkwell” series was nothing less than bizarre, and this is a good ‘un.

How ’bout some Flo & Eddie. Nobody got the joke, and the Turtles were fairly successful.

Neil Young’s “Powderfinger” was one of my favorites.  Never stopped to wonder why.

We don’t do many polls here, but we like to hear from you quiet ones from time to time. There’s no risk, your votes are completely anonymous. Just click as many as you like.  Consider it your contribution to the TR Steerage Committee.

We Got Weather!

This waterspout off the Huntington Beach Pier came ashore and flipped an SUV last Wednesday.  The pier is about 1/2 mile from my office.

Because they’re laden with water, they’re smaller than tornados that touch down on land, but they’re still magnetically attracted to trailer parks and boat slips.

Is anyone else getting tired of seeing this obnoxious internet ad or is it just me? Just wondering.
