Bunk’s Facebook

These are the best ones. The other eight faces suck. [Found here via here.]

BTW, now that the New Year is sputtering to a start, we’ve started a Tacky Raccoons FaceBook Page.  I’m new to the FaceBookage, but staff is assisting me with this new timewaster. See you there!

Babe, er, Chick Magnet

Babe Magnet Rooster

Nope, unh-unh, no way does this count as a Babe Magnet. It doesn’t even try to look cool, and it succeeds in its uncoolness by a factor of Stoopid. Given the intentional lack of cool, this could only be a pace car for the Dorque County Picnic Parade, decked out with pure efficient genius.

One can only imagine what hoofed beasts followed in its tire tracks, and we’re referring to the populace. (To be fair, I grew up on the outskirts of Dorque County. We had to dress up a mule instead.)

Dinosaurs slept with their eyes open.

Norwich, England (Strutts News Services) – A long-debated archaeological mystery has apparently been resolved by researchers of  the University of East Anglia.

The excavations of the River Yare floodplain in the early 1970s unearthed numerous fossils which gave creedence to the theory of  reptilian insomnia.

Saturday Matinee – Reptilicus, Rob, Roches & James Gurley


The Day after Christmas.  Quick! What’s the first word that comes to mind? “Reptilicus! An annihilating mastodon immune to all known weapons of warfare!”


Where’s Rob? Simple premise, funny result, and the ending makes it all worthwhile. [Found here.]

Cbullitt sent an email link to The Roches’ version of “The Hallelujah Chorus.”  It reminded me of the first Roches’ song I ever heard, “Mr. Sellack.”

Here’s some serious retroness from 1967. From the Utoobage:

Janis Joplin with Big Brother & The Holding company perform live on San Francisco TV program called “POW” that had Rolfe Petersen as the host on KPIX.

Big Brother & The Holding Company’s guitarist James Gurley recently passed away at the age of 69.

The Three Wise Guys

Moe, Santa, Larry, Santa and Curly.

This is the greatest Christmas display we’ve seen in at least 12 months. Two Santas and the 3 Wise Guys, and they’re all life-size, too. Pure efficient genius. (I know where I’m gonna go busking.)

Curly, Larry and Moe.

Curly, Larry and Moe.

Curly, Moe and Larry. Some folks display the 3 Wiseguys year round, just like God intended.

Cool Crafts: AK47 Paper Model Kit

“Each AK-47 Paper Model Kit comes with all the materials and instructions to construct this amazingly life-like paper model of an AK-47.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a very detailed project, requiring some attention to detail and time.”

Paint it flat black and it’ll get you arrested in the daytime.  At night, unarmed intruders will soil their chonies when they see the business end pointed in their direction.  As for armed intruders, it’s kind of a death sentence… for you.  It’s still cool, though, cuz u kn poze n stuf wit ur blng.
