Yep, that’s where it all started. The original Avenues Crips, flashing lower case A’s. That’s the late Cuzz Tookie Williams on the right.

Speechless
I received an email this past week with a link to this image:
I forwarded it to a couple of friends who have websites, just for fun, and ALL of them posted it. Then I thought that I was being a bit hypocritical for not posting it here, on my own site, and I wondered why I hesitated.
The more I thought about it, the more it spooked me. The thought of posting it scared me.
I’ve been conditioned to avoid confrontation with ideologies that I don’t believe in, and to keep my political views to myself. Why should a grown man, enjoying the freedoms of the greatest country on the face of the earth, be hesitant to post an opinion on his own blog?
Tacky Raccoons is not a political blog, nor is it intended to be. There are many more knowledgeable folks than I who are entrenched in political commentary, and I have no business even trying to compete with them. On the other hand, I’m going to comment on political issues occasionally and freely without fear of repercussions.
If for some reason that image, or any other post offends you, let it go and wait for our next innocuous post. We’ll still be here with your daily dose of inane funnies and links, regardless of your political affiliation.
Cordially,
Bunk
Saturday Matinee – The Manfred Mann, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin & Sonny Boy Williamson Connection
Manfred Mann sings Dylan’s “Just Like A Woman.”
Bob Dylan sings Memphis Minnie‘s & Kansas Joe McCoy‘s “When The Levee Breaks,” but for now, let’s say it’s a Led Zeppelin cover.
Led Zeppelin rips off Sonny Boy Williamson‘s “Bring It On Home,” at least for a minute or so and for a bit at the end.
“Nine Below Zero” by Sonny Boy Williamson with Otis Spann, and they didn’t rip off anyone.
Have a great weekend folks.
The .Gif Friday Post No.121 – Spacebutton, Carjack & Mr. T
LOLBOAT Capsized NOT
This is clever, awesome and offensive at the same time. I bet the pilot gets a lot of visitors, as required by international maritime law. On the other hand the guy wastes a lot of time distracting harbor patrol and the coast guard from serious rescues.
But after all, he’s got a slip, and I don’t.
A Must for Every Household
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.
The Dork Falcon
The headphones say it all. Sometimes we find such a cool idea smothered in a such a thick blanket of lame that we just have to post it. But the question remains: What is it listening to?

After yesterday’s abhorrent fiscal atrocity that saddled our children and grandchildren with an unwarranted debt that they are going to be paying for for the rest of their lives, I can’t think of a better post than this to take my mind off of it for a day.
Here’s the car they’ll be able to afford. It runs on crap, 5 lbs. per mile. The majority of the U.S. Congress is already a public crap mine, so the fuel should be plentiful for decades to come.

Hot Links and the Temple of Doom
“Dylan Hears a Who” was a classic parody from 1997. The original website was promptly shut down by the heirs of the Dr. Seuss franchise, as if it were a threat to the profitability of the classic children’s book series.

Saturday Matinee – Fess Parker, Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone & stuff
Here’s to Fess Parker (August 16, 1924 – March 18, 2010).
When Disney’s semi-historical series on Davy Crockett ran out (Crockett was killed at the Alamo), Fess Parker had garnered a lot of fans. What to do next? Cast him as Daniel Boone, of course.
As Daniel Boone, Fess Parker’s costar was Ed Ames, who portrayed an Indian scout. Here he is demonstrating his famous hatchet throwing skills.
Have a great weekend folks, and R.I.P. Mr Parker.
