The Manly Blogger Guy Award
I never turn down awards, even from Archie. He and I don’t see eye-to-eye on basic economics and politics.
I don’t recall exactly, but I think we had a cordial discussion on whether a janitor should be paid the same as the owner of the company that employs the janitor, and I said no. Regardless, Archie’s basically a good guy with a cool blog.
Since I don’t wear perfume, I’ll pass on this prized and coveted award to:
Amy Oops
Raincoaster
Nurse Myra
VE
Feng
and Nick.
[Thanks, Arch: All in fun, dude!]
Donald Tyler’s Contribution to the World
U.S. Patent No. 7,488,244, filed in April, 2007, by Donald Tyler of Cadiz, KY. Abstract:
“An apparatus for skinning a squirrel that is easily manufactured, portable, quick and in which the apparatus can be mounted to a variety of surfaces. The apparatus comprises a base plate connected to toggle clamp in which the toggle clamp is engaged to press two metal tubes tightly together. The base plate is bent at an angle and secured to a stationary object. The tail of the squirrel is placed in the apparatus in between the two metal tubes and the toggle clamp is engaged to secure the tail. The skin is pulled from the uncut skin of the tail thereby removing the skin from the body in two pieces of skin.”
In other words, it’s a toggle clamp. Very cool.
On the other hand, `Mr. Squirrel® looks like a lot more fun. It comes with TWO attached key rings and a handy braided thong so that The Squirrel Hunter in your family can wear it around his/her neck when not in use. What a deal!

Hey, this video is kinda funny.
This is a cool visual search dealie [found here].
Guess the nationality. You have 10 seconds per image. (Bunk did amazingly well and miserably poor at the same time.)
I’m sure we posted this must-see before. Here’s Penn & Teller debunking global warming and environmentalism in general from several years ago. Forget the language warning, let your kids see it in its entirety. Click here.
Here’s a potentially life-changing video to watch (before you click here).
Best first page of any book ever (found here). The book’s got some great reviews here.

Quick. What’s the Capitol of Brazil? Wrong. Ivan busts some of the stereotypes.
Military Magazine is a great non-glossy newsprint publication, filled with current affairs and commentary that doesn’t appear in the mainstream media. Order a free sample copy, and tell ’em Bunk sent you.
Things like this happen…
…especially when I’m bored and have a Sharpie Marker nearby.

Procol Harem’s 1967 hit, Whiter Shade of Pale, was a great song even if nobody cared what it meant.
Brownsville Station double header. I give credit to any three-man power group that can pull this kinda stuff off, even if they were only remembered as a one-hit wonder.
Welcome Finicky Penguin, Guest Poster
[Folks, FinPeng has been around the blogospheart at least as long as I have, commenting and blogging with some of the best. Several months ago he went scooters and abandoned the whole blogging thing… and now he’s back, as a guest poster.
He’s got a different style of posting than we do here at Tacky Raccoons, but we’ll put a bowl of kibble in front of him and see how it works out. So let’s all give a round of applesauce to Finicky Penguin! YAY! –Bunk]
Howdy, anyone who reads this first sentence or further. I’m Finicky Penguin, and you probably don’t know me from my old blog, Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Soda, now an archive of awesomeness. I’m not sure why I named it that. I never really liked The Beatles.
Anyway, if all went well, this is on the site and I’ll be making guest posts from time-to-time.
So, what is awesome?
- Wikipedia says something awesome inspires awe.
- Urban Dictionary calls it something Americans use to describe everything.
- Wikipedia in Svenska says awesome kan ha flera betydelser.
But I, above bulleted lists, prefer to not put awesome into words. Instead, I prefer to show awesome in picture and video. Now, tell me this isn’t awesome:
(Found it here.)
See that thing? It’s a bear. With chainsaw hands. You’d think it’s impractical, but look at it this way–
bears = awesome &
chainsaws = awesome, so
bear + chainsaw = double awesome (doubleawesome).
It can seriously dice your body so it can eat your fresh meatcubes. But what could make it more awesome? Sunglasses and a motorcycle, but if someone tried to construct a picture like that, their head would explode. I mean, there are several pictures of bears on motorcycles, but they lack the sunglasses and chainsaw hands, and that merits less awesome points than all three combined and the chainsaw picture, but more than the sunglasses.
This is the kind of stuff you get from me.
So anyways, hope to post again sometime. Sayonara.

Dang. Forced to sit between Smiley Guy and Habitual Neck Scratcher, AND caught on camera. I’d be the one sitting behind him flicking peanut shells down his collar.
