Rear Exit No.2
“Daddy! Daddy! Were you watching? I’m an elephant poop! Watch me! I’m gonna be a BIG elephant poop! Watch me!”
Climbing up into its butt and being elephant vomit just can’t be nearly as much fun.

Mannikin Hotel
“Crispy decapitated amputees and fuming black males: 1st Floor;
Full-scale Barbies, accessories and original packaging: 2nd Floor;
Miscellaneous torsos and body parts: 3rd Floor;
Tanning Party on Four.”
You REALLY don’t want to know what’s on the upper floors, and the basement is just disgusting.

“Ah, er, Honey, I think the dough has risen…”
ONE YEAR! ONE MEASELLY FREAKIN’ YEAR!
Here’s TACKY RACCOON’s Very First Post from 3 August 2007. I didn’t know what I was doing at the time, and I’m still not entirely sure that I know now.
The image of the laughing (?) raccoon is from (appropriately enough) SayNoToCrack, Anita Bath’s original clean humor website. She got me started on all this absurdity, then I stepped in it and tracked it all over the carpet.
Thanks gobs for all your encouragement, help, and stuff, and especially for all y’alls comments and linkoids. Do we keep on keepin’ on?

TGIF: The .Gif Friday Post No. 41- HoverDucky
Paranoia Sweater
You can’t ignore me forever.
I’ve hidden your straw.
I’m gonna play “Everything Is Beautiful” over and over and over if you don’t come out.
I can still see your toes.
There’s a spider above you.
I’ve locked the bathroom door.
I’m still sitting here, and I’m watching you.
I’m going to be very quiet now…
Sushi for Squirrels
Sometimes you’re just hungry enough to eat it.
One story I read about the phrase “to eat crow” claims it went back to the War of 1812. Because there were no grocery stores on or near the battlefields (let alone anywhere), an occasional cease fire allowed the combatants to go hunting, while at the same time respecting the battle lines.
Seems that one of the rebels crossed that line while hunting for food, and shot a crow. A Brit caught him at gunpoint in British territory and disarmed him. The Brit, commenting that the Yank was not respecting the ceasefire, told the Yank to get the bird, and take a bite. The Yank, at gunpoint, did as directed.
As the cease-fire rules were still in effect, the Yank commented on the Brit’s firearm, that it appeared to be of very high quality, well machined, good stock, etc. The Brit, honoring the cease-fire, was flattered, and allowed the Yank to inspect his weapon.
The Yank then turned the weapon on the Brit, presented the crow (with one bite out of it) and said, “Okay. Now finish it.”

Variegated Loch Ness Buttberry
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?
