Awesome Town is Awesome.
Nobody lives in Awesome Town. There is no plumbing, no electricity and no air conditioning. There is no city council, no Police Department, no Fire Department, no Post Office. There is a jail where no one will be incarcerated. There is no telephone service and no weekly trash pickup.
Awesome Town has no industry, no farming, and no business.
There are no stores or restaurants in Awesome Town, but there is a 5-story hotel. Nobody has ever checked in to the hotel and no one ever will. There are no gas stations because there are no cars, and children are not allowed in Awesome Town.
There are no newspapers in Awesome Town because there is no one to read them. There are no medical facilities or pharmacies either, and there is no hospital. There is no internet service or broadcast radio or television.
Awesome Town is located on San Clemente Island, California. It is a Military Operations on Urban Terrain (MOUT) Training Complex.

Awesome Dog Is Awesome.
Awesome Clock is Awesome.
I assume that it chimes on the hour with the BunkkiddaBunkkiddaBunk of an idling 1942 Harley-Davidson.

The .Gif Friday Post No.100 – Look At These Photos. Look At This Dog. Fear This Cat.
Official Announcement
I, Finicky Penguin, have resumed somewhat regular posting at my blog. It’s like a stallion on steroids running into you at the speed of sound!
So stop on by. You’ve got nothing to lose. Oh wait, you do. It’s your mind.
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.
