The exotic Variegated Loch Ness Buttberry should not be confused with the domestic Struttsiani Bunkisasi Buttberry, pictured below, as they are a distinct and separate feces.

Tron Turtle
I don’t recall where I found the link to Dave’s site, but this image jumped out at me. After I dried myself off, I axed him about the colors, and here’s his response:
“Thank you for the feedback! It is funny that you see amazing color where I see too much green and blue! I don’t think the turtle was fluorescent; and while I don’t recall it being quite as bright greenly splotched, the camera often sees things differently than we do underwater, particularly when a flash is used. This is because water “absorbs” the colors of sunlight, the deeper you go, and thus things do not look as colorful in natural light to the diver. However, if you are close enough to use a flash, the white light from the flash “adds back” the color that has been filtered away from the sunshine.”
Adjust your nitrogen level, Dave. It’s a great photo. Just don’t lecture me about ugly dogs, okay?

Bunk’s Money Saving Tips: How to Save Gas
Oil prices are up. Propane prices are up. Methane prices are going up, too, so save it for a rainy day. Don’t keep ’em bottled up inside, collect ’em all and cash ’em in! Register a brand name like I did (Jumpin’ Jack Flashizza™) and wait for the FartMart to open a retail outlet near you. Then you can barter your best SBD BarnBurners in bulk and get paid for your flatulence daily, weekly, or monthly as required.
Just another Money Saving Tip for loyal readers of Tacky Raccoons.

Saturday Matinee – Nobody Like Me + Slide City: Cooder, Raitt, Hooker, Block & Coetzee (and then the B-52s)
Before we get to our main feature, I found this at the last minute. For those of you that think the “Summer of Love” was all hippies and beads and tie-dye and bell bottoms and pot, check this out:
IT’S 1967 AND PITTSBURGH ROCKS!
(Note that the Dickies covered “Nobody Like Me” in 1983, George Thorogood covered it in 1982, which had been covered by the Human Beinz in 1967, originally recorded in 1962 by the Isley Brothers. As if you didn’t know.)
Ry Cooder is considered the greatest slide guitarist of the last 30 years. Here’s his version of “Jesus on the Mainline.”
The great Bonnie Raitt (also considered the greatest slide guitarist of the last 30 years) sleazes it up with the great John Lee Hooker (considered to be the greatest slide guitarist of the last 1,000 years) on “I’m in the Mood.”
Nice slide from Rory Block with her cover of Robert Johnson‘s “Terraplane Blues.”
Hannes Coetzee: No bottleneck git-fiddle here, just a soup spoon. [If it doesn’t play, try here.]
Who doesn’t like the B-52s, especially a catchy song with no rhymes at all? [Found here with lyrics.]
Saturday Matinee Bonus: Kelly Pettit
Aussie/Canuck Kelly Pettit sounds like the best of many bands I liked in the late 70’s-early 80’s, including the Beat Farmers and the Rave-Ups. He’s not unknown south of the equator, and he has a big following in Japan. Here’s a sampler link.
TGIF: The .Gif Friday Post 40 – Wet Kid Stuff
Rubik’s Cephalopod
Dorset, UK (Strutts News Services) – British scientists on an after-hours bender decided that the world needs to know if octopi are ambidextrous or prefer one tentacle over the rest. The problem was to decide on a procedure.
“If they’re so bloody smart, LET’S GIVE THE SLIMY BASTARDS RUBIK’S CUBES!” blurted one, and after another round of scrumpy, the panel agreed.
Once they recovered from their collective hangovers, they collected 25 octopi and 25 Rubik’s Cubes and let the games begin. Scientist Bonnie Phumph of the Sea Life Centre in Weymouth, Dorset, remarked, “It’ll be very interesting to see the results,” apparently referring to the government research grant money.
No news yet on the success of the cephalopod subjects’ cerebral solutions, although an early leaked report indicates that two of the tentacled brainiacs peeled off the colored labels in frustration, and a third dismantled its Cube and cracked the smaller cubes into fragments.

Abandoned Baby Survives Weeks on Nothing But Cheetos
Lengua Chucha, Mexico (Strutts News Services) – Standing a mere 6-inches tall at the withers, this lil’ pup was hatched a few days after his momma lost interest and wandered from the nest. Finding an open cache of Cheetos that had washed up on the beachhead, lil’ pup was found chowing down on the fluorescent orange morsels.
Since then he’s been moved to a foster shelter, where his diet has been augmented with Big Macs and Super Size Fries, and he is expected to reach 2,500 lbs. (average weight for his age) by the end of the month. Way to go, Lil’ Pup!

Heavy Weather Station
Although this was found on a Russian website, it came with this attached description:
The Tornado Intercept Vehicle just east of Kearney, NE, on I-80, May 29, 2008. The TIV is a vehicle specifically designed for storm chaser Sean Casey and follows Josh Wurman’s Project Rotate radar crew, currently being filmed for a documentary by the Discovery Channel.
Lesbian Amputee Dwarf Porn
Okay, a number of you folks dared me to make a post with that obnoxious non-sequitur of a title, and now you want pictures. Go visit your favorite regular mainstream lesbian amputee dwarf porn site of choice for LADP photos (the one you already have bookmarked) ’cause you won’t find ’em here.
Yeah, I know. It’s a shallow cheap plug for traffic, and it prolly won’t happen again. All in fun, folks, all in fun. Settle down… it’s still better than reading a parsing of an Obama speech, and you’ve got a captioned animal picture as a bonus.
Tell you what. Just for playing along, I’ll let you know how much the traffic on this post spikes with just those four little PG-13 words. You can play along, too, just by linking to this post with those same four little PG-13 words, and lemme know if YOUR traffic spikes up a tad as well. Or not.
