P.S. “Desert Bus” references the most intentionally brutal computer game ever designed.

Post 2K! WooHoo!
This is the 2,000th post on Tacky Raccoons.
Just think of all the time I could have been doing something more productive than shirking my responsibilites. On the other hand, this blog has given me much enjoyment over the years because every post was the result of a trek, an internet safari to look for and post oddities that amuse me, or at least hold my attention for more than a few seconds.
It has had it’s benefits. I’ve learned about image manipulation and editing, .gif animations, and that there are some sites out there that no one should visit. I’ve also “met” people from all over the world.
One thing that’s always puzzled me is what generates traffic. Sure, putting up a post titled “Lesbian Amputee Dwarf Porn” got a lot of hits (it’s No. 15 on the list of most popular) but those who are really looking for it won’t find it here. With very few exceptions, I’m still running on Anita Bath’s blogging Rule No. 1: Don’t post anything that will cause a Pastor to block the site from viewing by his 12 year-old daughter.
In case you’re curious, here are the Top Five posts that garnered the most attention since we started in 2007:
No. 1 – Another Great Christmas Gift Idea
No. 2 – LOL FERRET: Episode 1
No. 3 – Um, Nice Stained Glass?
No. 4 – Capybara Lapwarmer
No. 5 – Batmobile Babe Magnet
Are those the best posts of Tacky Raccoons? Not in my opinion, but who cares. I’m having fun, and I hope you are, too.
The .Gif Friday Post No.230 – Party Cats, Snow Spaz & Hovercat Attack
1,200,000 Visitors
A short while ago our 1,200,000th visitor showed up and quietly LOL’d to him/herself. Whoever/whatever it was came from somewhere here.
I’ve said it before (at least I think I did) that Tacky Raccoons has a pulse. The hits drop off on the weekends, yet they perk up again on Mondays, with Tuesdays and Wednesdays generating the most traffic. The good news is that the spike difference amounts to only about 3%, and I think that’s a good thing.
Rock on.
The .Gif Friday Post No.228 – DoorScan, Blockhead & Bartisu
The .Gif Friday Post No.227 – Water Nymph, Fashion Ghost & REDЯUMp
That REDЯUMp .gif belongs to jaw-dropper Christina Hendricks. We’re told she had a birthday yesterday, May 3rd.
[An aside: Today is the 42nd Anniversary of something that went down on May 4th 1970, and it’s eerily similar to what’s going down today. Pay attention.]
