Who knew California had its very own racoon.
What I want to know is--which species of racoon did Davey Crockett wear? What species of racoon was in the coonskin cap I had as a kid? (Please don't tell me it wasn't a real racoon pelt.) Davey Crockett was big on TV back then. "King of the wild frontier" as the song goes.

some more cool raccoon facts - this one has always impressed me (wish cats could do this so they wouldn't get stuck in trees):

The raccoon has the ability to rotate their hind feet a full 180 degrees to allow for their ability to climb down from trees head first.

But apparently genital crabs are pretty much gone now that body hair is not in style (maybe just a small welcome mat instead of a full carpet, or nothing at all).

Agreed, but making you google raccoons is something I find amusing.

If men are shaving their pubes I don't want to hear about it.

Nextdoor comes through again:

Yesterday someone posts about suspicious painters in area, claims they pried open a window screen on her house.

Today, sheepishly admits that other signs on inside of house show that her dog damaged the screen trying to escape...

“The Florida raccoon, is found on the peninsula of Florida and in southern Georgia. It has been introduced to Grand Bahama Island in the Bahamas. This raccoon has a rusty patch on its neck and far fewer teeth than its Georgia neighbor. Its sinuses are usually inflated, giving its face a humped appearance.”

LOL

I was bitching about needing some new hats but I hate shopping. So my wife gets online and orders me a hat that says "cocaine and hookers". Love that girl. It should pair nicely with my Arrest me I'm a skateboarder shirt.

A guy I work with, mid-30’s, clears his throat while talking by doing the old man AHEM exclamation thing….so he’ll be droning on in a monotone and I’ll tune out and am suddenly brought back by a loud AHEM!

He’s apparently unaware that he is doing this.

Local Chinese place, called China King, answers the phone “China King! What you want?!” You read off your order, and then she yells “10 minute!” And hangs up.

Charming. Truly. Cracks me up every time.

Girl 1: Look at all the birds! It's like that Steven Hawking movie.

Guy 1: Steven Hawking is the guy in the wheelchair. You mean Steven King.

Girl 2: No, the movie is called The Birds, and it was Albert Hitchcock.

(Girl 1 and Guy 1 agree that Girl 2 knows what she's talking about)
