The Doctor is in, but where is Ellie Light?

These are the folks who search for stuff on the internest.  These are the same folks who find Tacky Raccoons by searching for stuff on the internest.  These are the top 20 search requests over the past year that these folks used to find stuff on Tacky Raccoons. Go figger.

  1. ferret
  2. wooly bear caterpillar
  3. batmobile
  4. motivational poster
  5. woolly bear caterpillar
  6. amputee porn
  7. giant bear
  8. babe
  9. motivational
  10. mission viejo
  11. giant caterpillar
  12. dwarf porn

  16. stained glass
  17. gif animations
  18. ninja cat
  19. ferret pictures
  20. pillsbury dough boy

None of this matters, aside from being a curious list, and that I’m honestly surprised that Igde Pshat didn’t show up;  not that anyone would google it, or that anyone would search for  fuldkommen gak either for that matter. We’ve got bigger ducks to fry. It kinda bothers me that neither phrase showed up in our most-wanted google list.

I’ll get over it. Meanwhile…

The big question today is, Who is Ellie Light?

We Got Weather!

This waterspout off the Huntington Beach Pier came ashore and flipped an SUV last Wednesday.  The pier is about 1/2 mile from my office.

Because they’re laden with water, they’re smaller than tornados that touch down on land, but they’re still magnetically attracted to trailer parks and boat slips.

NY Apartment Infested With Cats and Reptiles: NYPD Officer Uses Drugs

Police Officer Martin Duffy rappels down the side of 2430 Adam Clayton Powell Blvd. in Harlem to shoot a 400-pound Bengal-Siberian tiger, that was kept in an apartment, with a tranquilizer. The sedated tiger, named Ming, and a 3-foot caiman alligator were removed from the building. The animals’ owner was tracked down in Philadelphia and charged with reckless endangerment.

Merry Christmas, America. Hope you like crap.

Thanks. Thanks a lot, you gutless clueless corrupt morons.

From CNN at 11:40PM:

Washington (CNN) — Senate Democrats braved the aftermath of a blizzard Sunday to continue their push to pass a sweeping health care bill before Christmas.

Right. They were standing in the snow, shivering, while the Republicans kept the doors shut. Phew.

Saturday Matinee – Simpsons in Estonia, How to Make Candy Canes, Sleigh Ride, Darlene Love with the E Street Band

How candy canes are made.  Very cool. [Found here].

Bunky just can’t get into the Christmas Spirit until he hears the Ronettes’ version of  “Sleigh Ride.”

Unfortunately, the best vids of that song have been pulled, and we just can’t bring ourselves to post a video of a vinyl record spinning on a turntable, or worse, a picture of an album cover (losers).  BUT, we’re certainly willing to post THIS version. Screw the copyright Scrooges.

So here’s a compromise, a Christmas song with Darlene Love, backed by the E-Street Band (with video splices from, um, “Home Alone“).
