The .Gif Friday Post No. 237 – Clam Licker, Nancy’s Trip & The Dance of the Triops

[Top inspired by CDR; 2nd created from this; Triops found here.]

Context is Important

A few years ago we posted that image in puzzlement, and we’re still mystified why a young guy in a skirt and a headband is so pissed at an older man that he needs a piece of furniture to take him down. I mean, look, it’s not a matchup between David and Goliath here. On the other hand, maybe Skirt Boy is playing a prank on the old man by stealing his chair right before grampa is about to sit down, but there’s no need to grab it by the leg.

More likely, the strong young man is going to aid his father and hurl the chair at someone or something out of the frame, like this:

That’s my best guess, Occam’s Razor and all.

The .Gif Friday Post No.236 – Psyche Ducky, ChocoLoLo & “STOP IT!”

[I stole the top one from here and messed with it. 2nd & 3rd found here & here. Tip o’ the Tarboosh to OddMan. ]

NO MESS WITH

Happy 18th Bunkarina!
Nice effin’ shirt.

The .Gif Friday Post No.234 – How To Walk & Victorian Cheesecake

   

Top .gif is actually three .gifs (1-2-3-2-1), modified and animated from this image. Bottom two lenticulations were created from a couple of Victorian era stereoscopic photos that I lifted from here.

[Update: I found the link to the Victorian bimbo pics at Gimcrack. Sorry for the oversight, nursem.]

The .Gif Post No.233 – Wavy Bears, The 10 O’Clock Nose & Thobbing Blob Fish

[1st one from here, the 2nd snot funny and the BlobThrob is mine.]

The .Gif Friday Post No.232 – Kraken Crackin’, Clappin’ & Flappin’

[Top and bottom found here and here. 2nd one was an experiment, animated from this.]

UPDATED 8 JUNE: TR & .Gif fan David sent this. It takes time to put these together, so I didn’t want it to go to waste. Besides, it’s creepy as hell and stacks nicely with the advert below it.

Post 2K! WooHoo!

This is the 2,000th post on Tacky Raccoons.

Just think of all the time I could have been doing something more productive than shirking my responsibilites. On the other hand, this blog has given me much enjoyment over the years because every post was the result of a trek, an internet safari to look for and post oddities that amuse me, or at least hold my attention for more than a few seconds.

It has had it’s benefits. I’ve learned about image manipulation and editing, .gif animations, and that there are some sites out there that no one should visit. I’ve also “met” people from all over the world.

One thing that’s always puzzled me is what generates traffic. Sure, putting up a post titled “Lesbian Amputee Dwarf Porn” got a lot of hits  (it’s No. 15 on the list of most popular) but those who are really looking for it won’t find it here. With very few exceptions,  I’m still running on Anita Bath’s blogging Rule No. 1: Don’t post anything that will cause a Pastor to block the site from viewing by his 12 year-old daughter.

In case you’re curious, here are the Top Five posts that garnered the most attention since we started in 2007:

No. 1 – Another Great Christmas Gift Idea

No. 2 – LOL FERRET: Episode 1

No. 3 – Um, Nice Stained Glass?

No. 4 – Capybara Lapwarmer

No. 5 – Batmobile Babe Magnet

Are those the best posts of Tacky Raccoons? Not in my opinion, but who cares. I’m having fun, and I hope you are, too.

Rat Rod Trike

Bunkessa spotted this Rat Rod Trike in front of the local Home Depot yesterday and thought “I know who’d like this.”

She was right. More Rat Rods here.

The .Gif Friday Post No.230 – Party Cats, Snow Spaz & Hovercat Attack
