an article in today's la times quotes whitehouse spokesman bill burton's take on the situation thusly, "The presence of unauthorized raccoons gives us great paws."
burton also noted the national park service is, at this very moment, attempting to trap them using peanut butter (what don't kill em makes em stronger) in hopes of a racoon rendition to someplace other than where they're at now.
for the first time in my ju adventure i really wish i hadda audience log to see who couldn't resist reading this one.
KellyW0498 was here to read your crazy headlines!
Your headline points to what a boorish lout you truly are. You would probably say anything to get attention.
Hopefully you'll take a trip to Harlem and post that on the corner of Lexington and 125th St.
You know a bit of dogfood works wonders when catching raccoons in livetraps.
I caught two dozen in a month using that method.

hiya kelly! glad ya stopped by. as more time opens up for me--prolly shouldn't plan on it but--i'll be checkin out your own unique sorta mania.
go up to lexington & one twenny fivefeel sick and dirty, more dead than alive
no probably about it. not that it's germane.
actually i was proving myself not a racist in the time-honored gop tradition most recently and flamboyantly employed by one diane fedele last october. ms fedele--former president of the chafee community republican women federated until she upset people by circulating so-called 'obama bucks' featuring barak's image juxtaposed with pix of food stamps, kool-aid,ribs, chicken and watermelon--initially responded by asserting she didn't associate certain foods with a particular group of people thus:
"I do not think like a bigot, and because of that fact, I did not view this as racial, because I do not have a racially discriminating point of view,"
thank you for your assistance!
to paraphrase groucho marx who claimed to have shot an elephant in his pajamas, how they got there you'll never know.
i'm not even gonna ask why you'd wanna possess 2 dozen wolverines in disguise (actually wolverines may be less dangerous cuz they're not as smart). can't help wondering what you did with them tho.
I wuz here to check it out!
hahahaha
That's a cute coon.
I LOL'd. Good job!
I'll tell ya anyway.
They were causing a bunch of trouble around my house. So I borrowed a few traps from a farmer friend of mine and set about rounding them up. He hunts coons and sells their fur...so it was a win-win.
Didn't feel great about sending them to their doom, though...but shit happens.
i no longer think they're anything but menacing. unlike possums or skunks (this part of la's other thriving wildlife groups) racoons here live in the storm sewers and are aggressively surly. possums are goofy and skunks are aloof and kinda cool til they discover spraying aint much of a defense against cars.
yeah they're good for that. and maybe hats.
gladja enjoyed it
Dang...You know who I miss? Daniel Boone. Daniel boone was a man....was a real man...
i'm not sure who is most closely associated with coonskin caps: boone or crockett.
raw bacon does too. And it'll REALLY works on possums!
Dan'l Boone was a maaaaaan -yes a biiiiiiig man! But a bear was bigger 'n so he ran like a nigger up a tree...
I remember that little racist ditty rip off of the Daniel Boone theme song from 6th grade.
Here is Davey Crocketts Song. He wears a coon skin hat alright, but Daniel's song is way better.
Sorry for the little hijack Kingbee.
That is some title, pretty creative - made me look!
DrJBHL is an idiot.
Ah heck, that ain't very nice.
I heard that Mr. Crockett kilt him a b'ar when he was only three.
not to worry. ask me, it's at or right near the top of a list of "shamelessly mendacious faux folk ballad disney theme songs responsible for doing more damage to babyboomers' minds than all the drugs ever used in human history". disney's "davy crockett" triptych combined with "ol yeller" transformed an entire generation into volatile manchurian candidates.
(i have no idea why there'd be a 1955 ny times film review of the crockett trilogy online, but if you think i'm blowing this outta proportion, check it out yourselves here .)
not only that, look what he done to poor ol georgie russell when davy so selfishly died at the alamo; in less than a decade, after wandering around aimlessly for a few years, george reinvented himself as jed clampett, discovered oil and moved to beverly.
hills that is.
possums go nuts for mushy bananas.
why waste bacon when you can as easily use cats, small dogs and, for that matter, pets of all sorts, possibly even very young children to attract racoons. i recently met a guy whose alligator snapping turtle had been killed by coons.
