Some time ago, Aussie Phil requested more funny videos. I didn’t mean to ignore him, I just didn’t find much to laugh about after the U.S.S.A. U.S. Senate legalized Grand Theft approved taxpayer extortion the largest redistribution of wealth in the history of this great country the “Stimulus Package.” So here you go, bro.

Another Great Gift Idea: Etch-A-Line
Bryan, OH (Strutts News Services) – Etch-A-Line-X from Ohio Art promises to be a big seller this season, second only to Etch-A-Dot. This excellent version allows children with Y-Y comprehension problems to ignore the difficulties inherent in the original product. Etch-A-Line-Y, the companion toy, allows children to explore the Y-Y axis by scrolling the “etch” vertically on the screen, i.e., up and down.
For those children who might be uncomfortable with two dimensions, Ohio Art has the Etch-A-Dot, which cleverly replaces the non-user-friendly single rolling knob with a red “Press This Button” activation device. Press the Red Button, and you’ve got a dot. The “Dot” provides instant gratification, a minimalist work of art, and it’s clever as well, since the “dot” is ALWAYS at the precise center of the screen.
What the Future Holds: Production of the fourth companion product, (Etch-A-Line-Z) is on hold for now. Preliminary evaluations resulted in the temporary blindness of a substantial number of volunteers. Prototype Z is being re-evaluated for distribution in late August of the year after next before this one.

Koko Understands Sarcasm, Cats, Politics
“Koko the gorilla is famous for mastering more than 1,000 signs based on American Sign Language, which she uses to communicate with Stanford researchers.
“That’s not all she’s learned from humans. One day her attendants discovered that a steel sink in her enclosure had been torn from its moorings. When they confronted her, she pointed to her pet kitten.
“‘Cat did it’, she signed.”
Strutts News Services was granted an exclusive interview with Koko, and asked the following questions, in ASL:
SNS: ?Koko like vote who
Koko: ?koko like
SNS: ?Koko like who vote
Koko: koko. koko. koko.
SNS: ?Vote Koko

SNS: Fat chance, koko.
Koko: Bite me elect koko 2 elect koko 56 vote koko 12330o-84jmsvpow Koko last word heh loser
Bizarre Marketing Concept That Doesn’t Work
The great minds of the marketing department at Volkswagon have come up with this dealie. The idea is that you plug in your picture, and that of your spouse, and it shows you what your offspring will look like, all animated in the back seat of a VW something. Very odd, but here’s the link:
http://www.vw.com/vwhype/babymaker/en/us/
We at Tacky Raccoons took a test drive on this bizarre concept, just to see how it would run. Here are the results:
Experiment No. 1: Sarah Palin & John McCain
PLUS 
EQUALS
Experiment No. 2: Joe Biden & Barrack Obama
PLUS 
EQUALS
Experiment No. 3: Marilyn Monroe & Bunk Strutts
PLUS 
EQUALS
Results: A pairing between a dead sex symbol and a live possum appears to result in better looking progeny than those of the other candidates, and if I say any more, I’m just gonna get in trouble with the lovely Mrs. Strutts who’s holding a hot skillet and asking me what the hell I’m doing. Gotta go. Talk amongst yourselves…

Senator Joe Biden Stares Down Dictators
Wilmington, Delaware (Strutts News Services) – According to an amazing number of news sources, Joe Biden was nominated earlier today as Obama’s VP because he’s “stared down dictators” according to Barack Obama.
I imagine he did it just like this guy, and dictators all over the world collectively lost control of their bowels and changed their governments to democratically elected representative republics.
The world is a safer place because of Senator Joe Biden.
[UPDATE: Strutts News Services reports 19,500 hits for a google search of “Joe Biden stared down dictators.” Name one dictator that Biden “stared down” and the results of that stare down. The world is waiting.]

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?
