Chapter: Comics
One night I heard a bunch of banging and slamming going on at the back of the house. It was one of those things where I knew I needed to go and see what was up but I kinda didn’t want to know. I flipped on the outside light and peeked out the kitchen door window. Nothing. 15 minutes later it started to happen again. I wasn’t very scared to go back there this time. I looked out and there was a raccoon perched on top of my garbage can staring back at me. I yelled and banged on the window but it just sat there. I opened the door. It still just looked at me. I finally reasoned with it by calmly saying “Well, go on now.” and it hopped off and lazily walked away into the darkness.

Nice Towel Day reference!
Five points for Josh. 🙂
Towel Day! 🙂
Do you know where your towel is?
Mine is right here!
I don’t know where my towel is. I think I’m doomed.
You are such a hoopy frood, Biff.
And racoons… yeah, one started to run off with an entire milk crate full of chips when I was camping last weekend.
First thing I saw was the towel. Then I noticed that there was a comic around it.
Love the towel. Noticed it even before I read the text. 🙂
Happy towel day and a Pangalactic Gargle Blaster for all!
Didn’t realised what was written on the towel until hitting the comments, doh. 🙂
wewt im finally caught up!
I had a similar experience. We were woken up bu some horrible noise in the house. Turns out there was a raccoon getting comfy in a chair on the back porch. Our cat, who was locked inside, was throwing herself against the glass door trying to get out to chase off the invader taking over HER chair.
She might have been more successful if she had a towel to wave at the raccoon.
omg, i love the hitch hikers guide reference, with the towel and the dont panic, lol XD
