ONE YEAR! ONE MEASELLY FREAKIN’ YEAR!
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?

TGIF: The .Gif Friday Post No. 41- HoverDucky
Paranoia Sweater
You can’t ignore me forever.
I’ve hidden your straw.
I’m gonna play “Everything Is Beautiful” over and over and over if you don’t come out.
I can still see your toes.
There’s a spider above you.
I’ve locked the bathroom door.
I’m still sitting here, and I’m watching you.
I’m going to be very quiet now…
Bunk’s Money Saving Tips: How to Save Gas
Oil prices are up. Propane prices are up. Methane prices are going up, too, so save it for a rainy day. Don’t keep ’em bottled up inside, collect ’em all and cash ’em in! Register a brand name like I did (Jumpin’ Jack Flashizza™) and wait for the FartMart to open a retail outlet near you. Then you can barter your best SBD BarnBurners in bulk and get paid for your flatulence daily, weekly, or monthly as required.
Just another Money Saving Tip for loyal readers of Tacky Raccoons.

TGIF: The .Gif Friday Post 40 – Wet Kid Stuff
Rubik’s Cephalopod
Dorset, UK (Strutts News Services) – British scientists on an after-hours bender decided that the world needs to know if octopi are ambidextrous or prefer one tentacle over the rest. The problem was to decide on a procedure.
“If they’re so bloody smart, LET’S GIVE THE SLIMY BASTARDS RUBIK’S CUBES!” blurted one, and after another round of scrumpy, the panel agreed.
Once they recovered from their collective hangovers, they collected 25 octopi and 25 Rubik’s Cubes and let the games begin. Scientist Bonnie Phumph of the Sea Life Centre in Weymouth, Dorset, remarked, “It’ll be very interesting to see the results,” apparently referring to the government research grant money.
No news yet on the success of the cephalopod subjects’ cerebral solutions, although an early leaked report indicates that two of the tentacled brainiacs peeled off the colored labels in frustration, and a third dismantled its Cube and cracked the smaller cubes into fragments.

Lesbian Amputee Dwarf Porn
Okay, a number of you folks dared me to make a post with that obnoxious non-sequitur of a title, and now you want pictures. Go visit your favorite regular mainstream lesbian amputee dwarf porn site of choice for LADP photos (the one you already have bookmarked) ’cause you won’t find ’em here.
Yeah, I know. It’s a shallow cheap plug for traffic, and it prolly won’t happen again. All in fun, folks, all in fun. Settle down… it’s still better than reading a parsing of an Obama speech, and you’ve got a captioned animal picture as a bonus.
Tell you what. Just for playing along, I’ll let you know how much the traffic on this post spikes with just those four little PG-13 words. You can play along, too, just by linking to this post with those same four little PG-13 words, and lemme know if YOUR traffic spikes up a tad as well. Or not.

Babe Magnet: Blew Flamer
Been a while since we had a good Babe Magnet post, and I’d completely forgotten about this one (forwarded by the lovely and talented Jen of Casual Slack several months ago).
What can we possibly say about this excellent example of Babe Magnetage that isn’t intuitively obvious to the casual observer? More than you might think.
If I’m not mistaken, this Vehicle of Vapidity is a 1989 Nissan 4-dork that was originally silver, until Bonnie Phumph’s little brother Dirk took over the ride when Bonnie left for animal husbandry school in Middlevale last year. Dirk went on a yellow spray paint rampage.
Puke Yellow Bile is not an attractive color for any Japanese import, so Dirk took it a step further with the LameFlame job. But of course, just like any proud owner of a newly created Babe Magnet, he couldn’t stop there. Nope. He used the rest of the blue dork-spray paint to stencil “Dirk is King,” “Dirk Rules” and “Dirk Rocks” in Tolkien runes on the door panels just underneath the windows.
But he didn’t stop there either. Enter a poor rendition of Marvin the Martian on the left rear quarter panel. This work o fart just screams “Dirk is a complete moron!” And just so anyone missed the message, Dork managed to knock off his rearview mirror in the Dairy Queen drive-thru and repaired it with, yep, you guessed it, duct tape.
Pure efficient genius.
