Beijing, China (Strutts New Services) – On Thursday, the People’s Republic of China revealed that they have perfected an audio-animatronic version of Ex-President Clinton’s daughter Chelsea.

On conditions of anonymity, Chelsea Clinton responded, “Eeew. That’s not me. That’s like my Mom, you dork. Like ‘DUH.'”

The robot giggles incoherently, serves tea, and pets the servants when directed, exactly like her mama does, but without the head butts.

The animatron correctly responds to up to ten questions with pre-programmed responses.  These responses include, “I don’t remember,” “I don’t recall,”  “Are you serious?” and “GTF out of this office.”

Doris Troy wasn’t singing about this.  Or maybe she was.

Since Phil posted a TW vid, here’s a reposte.  Tom Waits never sings the same song the same way twice.

One of the prettiest songs ever sung.  Oh Yeah.

Specious country living at its best.  Surrounded by woodlands and meadows, this economical residence provides all the rustic utilities you look for in a pristine rural setting.  Campfires every night!  Far from the bustling city, the lot provides ample opportunities for pursuing both game and fish, and has sanitary facilities adjacent to the creek a mere 150 yards away.  You’ll never have to mow the grass again.

This Little Piggy

This little piggy went to market;
This little piggy stayed home;
This little piggy had roast beef;
This little piggy had none;
And THIS little piggy went, “OMG! WTF! Hey Guys! Check this out!”

[IMPORTANT UPDATE!  We cordially welcome a NEW and IMPROVED addition to the highly esteemed blog team here at Tacky Raccoons.  Put your hands and feet together, and give it up for  Aussie Phil Cordery!

Phil and I have been stealing cross-referencing  each other’s posts for some time now, and I axed him if he’d be willing to toss one in occasionally.  Of course, this may be his first and last post here, but that’s entirely up to him.  Don’t forget to check out his blog, Phil’s Phun.  It’s excellent. –Bunk]
