Bunk Speaks

Folks,

We’ve noticed a few broken links on past posts. If any of you happen to notice videos that don’t play, images that don’t load, lettuce know, and we’ll do our best to fix ’em. YouTube is kinda notorious for pulling videos, and if they yank ’em, we won’t know unless you tell us. Leave a comment on the post with the damaged linkage and we’ll give it a bandage, because, after all, readers of TackyRaccoons visit this site for perfection, and you rock.

P.S. TackyRacoons made it past the first cut for January at www.iblogcup.com. 2nd elimination round is going on so vote once a day, but only if you really want to. Maybe we’ll win a cupcake or something. If so, we’ll share it with you because we like to share. It’s just the way we are. Sometimes.

[UPDATE: Tacky Raccoons came in 4th place in January, but there were apparently some shenanigans going on according to the webmaster. Sorry, no cupcake.]

Here’s to Your Nulls, and more…

Since this is SNTC Anniversary month, we offer this tribute.

Okay. Assume you’re a male bee and… oh nevermind. The allegory doesn’t work with conchs. Let’s move on.

Note the absence of TP. Note the presence of the sponge on a stick. Note that the sponge on a stick is not for cleaning the chamber pot. Note that the chain flushes nothing, but rings a chime.

Note that this is how very important people did it, and be glad that you didn’t have to answer the bell.

Nice western adaptation for the Turkish Toilet. (Bomb sights have since been added to this model. Roll up your trousers and keep your boots on.)

Thanx a load to b.b., jynx, Geezer & Donk for bringing all this to my attention.

It Jumps, You Die

It’s stealthy. It’s got a taser. You won’t hear it until it’s too late. You might innocuously assume that it’s the office cat, and the next thing you know you’re twitching uncontrollably on the floor and your computer screen displays the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH. Welcome to the world of hand-to-hand cyber combat.

Folks, I honestly don’t know what this is all about, but you can find a video of it in action at NoPuedoCreer. I’m carrying insulated tin snips and a thermos full of saltwater from now on just in case.
