Hide and Seek

The perfect hiding spot. He’ll never think to look there.

[Found here.] That one’s for you, Possum. =)

Dress Sharp

Way beyond the Valley of Cool, and with all the necessary appurtenances in the background. The only real mystery is who they’re going Trick Or Treating as. I want to party with these guys.

A Call for Entries

After a lot of head scratching, tooth grinding and butt itching, we’ve decided to conduct a joke contest.

This is a competition for all loyal visitors to Tacky Raccoons. There is a nice award to be had at no cost to you, but we can’t tell you what it is. All we can say is you’ll like it, because the winner gets to choose from a wide variety of awesome prizes (and that’s a big ‘ol honkin’ hint right there.)

Here’s the deal:

Submit your best one-line joke in the comments on this thread.

Originality is a definite plus, so claim credit; but if it’s not yours, at least quote the source. Post your best one-liner here, on this thread, and we’ll choose our favorites for a greatest hits poll vote next week.

Keep it clean. –Bunk

[Update– This is a cool dealie. Added a button on upper right that shows visitors from all over the world. Click here.]

[Update 27 September: The prize is being sponsored by CafePress, and as part of the deal, we agreed to post this advert:

You can find millions of personalized gifts, hooded sweatshirts and 2011 wall calendars at CafePress – for any topic, interest or brand!

There you go. The wiener gets to choose their own prize up to $30!]

[THE CONTEST ENTRY WINDOW IS NOW CLOSED.  THE WIENER SHALL BE DETERMINED BY A POLL TO BE POSTED SOON. —Bunk]

Saturday Matinee – Hot Cats

Cats and croissants. [via]

I loved the Stray Cats’ retrobilly thang, and this was one of their finest moments. (BTW,  “Fridays” was a much funnier show than Saturday Night Live IMO.)

Speaking of Eddie Cochran, here’s Gene Vincent’s  “Be-Bop-A-Lula.”

Vince Taylor beat out The Who with this cover of Johnny Kidd & The Pirates’  “Shakin’ All Over.”

And here’s one of the greatest latter day rock and roll love songs in my opinion. Have a great weekend, folks, and may you all have pleasant surprises.

The .Gif Friday Post No. 144 – Raccoon Hops, Pool Surfing, Cat’s Balloons

700,000 PLUS!

WOOHOO!

Just took a peek at the stats and noticed that we’ve surpassed 700,000 hits since Tacky Raccoons done been borned! Thanks to everyone for stopping by.

[Update 24 September: Planetross offered his excellent technical advice for blogwhoring boosting traffic in the comments below, so we added a Justin Bieber .gif from here. Gag city.]


It’s Me Hot, Mon

Got yer Halloween costume picked out yet? No? Well here’s just the accoutrement for you, an inflatable tam, just like the ones popularized by real Rastafarians. One size fits most, so if you’re a fathead you can’t wear it, and anyone who wears one of these is by default a fathead. Rock steady, mon.
