Blogoversary II: Our 2nd Year’s Top 10
Whoa. Two freakin’ years (not counting the undercover ghost-posting stalking decades) and y’all are still with us, doin’ the Number 6, a-ridin’ into town a-whompin’ an’ a whumpin’.
Our first post was on Friday, 3 August 2007, but since we don’t wanna interrupt your Monday work schedule with all the hoopla, we turned back the calendar by a day. We also know, since we track the stats, that most of y’all check in here during your working hours anyway. Believe it or not, our statistics have a pulse. You have no excuse for not clicking through all 11 links below, because it’s still the weekend.
Many people have asked us about our now world famous TR logo. Once we’d decided on a blogname, we realized that we needed a mascot, so I doodled a raccoon that had just realized he’d blundered through a puddle of rubber cement. That was it. One shot. On a scrap of notebook paper. Serious history.
There are a lot of reasons why I like posting inanities on this blog, but I can’t think of any right now. All I know is it keeps me from oiling the chainsaw and putting the dishes away. Mostly I enjoy the camaraderie of my fellow blogheads and the opportunity to crosspost trash talk with relative impunity. Above all, comments from near and far keep me sitting here and avoiding “Dancing With The Stars” reruns.
So here are the greatest traffic producers of the past year, with the previous year’s ranking separated by an appropriate slash.
NR = no rating, indicating that the post either didn’t make rank or wasn’t posted last year.
My personal favorite for this year, Popeye’s Obituary, didn’t rank, but it’s barely a monthski old. A simple click on any image below will take you to the realm of the original coolness.
SO HERE WE GO:
No. 10/1 – Another Great Christmas Gift Idea
No. 9/nr – Lesbian Amputee Dwarf Porn
No. 8/4 – Faith Enhancer
[True learning experience here.]
No. 7/nr – LOL Ferret: On Watch
No. 6/nr – Southern California Fires October 2007
No. 5/2 – Nice Stained Glass
No. 4/5 – Pirates Attack Venice With Rabbit
No. 3/nr – Giant Wooly Bear Caterpillar Discovered
[Don’t miss the comments on this one.]
No. 2/3 – Batmobile Babe Magnet
AND THE NUMBER ONE POST OF THE YEAR IS:
No. 1/10 – LOL FERRET: Episode 1
Thanks to all you loyal readers, commenters and linkers.
Y’all make me feel like a hundred bucks.
Saturday Matinee – Ghosts & Vapors, Pink Dub, Midnight Animals Oil, Ramones California Sun
Ghost caught on video!
“Booo! Booo! Run for mayor somewhere else! Booo!”
[Found here. Don’t jump to a Beer Summit conclusion, there’s more to the story.]
[Found here. Welcome to Electric Pelosiland.]
No video, but the concept is great. Pink Rock Floyd Steady Dub.
Nice cover of the Animals’ 1965 hit by Midnight Oil. But here’s some trivia: The song was written by Barry Mann. (More about him here.)
Oh, yeah.
The .Gif Friday Post No.91 – Mona

It’s Beer & Blame Day!
Beards, Beards Everywhere. Beards, Beards… Made of Hair.
I’m not a huge fan of beards attached to my face, but I tend to rank the beards of others on a scale of “Oh, it’s a beard” to “I WANT TO TOUCH THAT BEARD.”
He looks like the kind of guy who’d sit in that chair, running a comb through that beard.
But maybe that’s just me.
Of course, many other people have particularly wondrous beards, large and small, but there’s just one that I don’t even call a beard.
By now, you’re probably starting to question my sanity. I am, too. And this is just my second post. So now with my mental stability in question, let us continue with the very GOD OF BEARDDOM. I am, of course, referring to the late, great Billy Mays Jr.
Well, I think this basically wraps up my beard-talk. Go ahead to this website for top quality beards from history.
But wait! One more addition! How could I have forgotten Chuck Norris and Mr. T? HOW? I do believe if I had forgotten to mention them in the post at all, my head would explode upon the publishing date. I’m glad there’s that categories bar within the range of my sight.
Do Andy Rooney’s eyebrows count as beards?
Anyway…

I am not worthy of this honor…
…but Planetross IS.
Things like this happen…
…especially when I’m bored and have a Sharpie Marker nearby.
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.
