I don't make a billion dollars blogging like Dooce does, but I do have a raccoon in my chimney. That should count for something.
Guess what I named the raccoon?
You'll never guess.

Bandit!
We had one of those, except it died before we found it. Yours is much, much, MUCH cuter than ours was!
My favorite part (and there's only one) is that we hired a guy called "The Critter Gitter" to remove it.
Jim
I was going to guess Bandit too!
What about RJ? from Over the Hedge?
How about Amy (Winehouse) doesn't she look like a raccoon half the time?
No?
Look again.
Ok, a raccoon with big hair, tatts, big boobs, and a mole.
Lunch?
Gross, Zuc!
ROCKY!!!
Does he have rabies? Because if a phone worries you, let me tell you what...
But at least raccoons have clean hands from the constant, obsessive-compulsive hand-washing they do. So Rocky's got that going for him.
In German, raccoons are called Händewäsche (hand washers) or Waschbären (washing bears). It's literal. It's cute.
So rabies or not, if that raccoon handed you a cracker because he wanted to share his picnic with you, you should be comforted in accepting his offering and eating to your tummy's content.
If a raccoon hands you a cracker, it's because he's preparing to bite you with his rabid, rabid jaws.
Straight for the jugular! Ask anyone!
But he wouldn't attack CJane because we know his name, which is Rocky...or Bandit, so it's all good.
Ricky.
Coons are NOT OUR FRIENDS so don't get all PETA on me, ok Pam?
and for the record, I tried and just COULD NOT get the appeal of Dooce. I really wanted to like her but didn't.
You named it Dooce, right? AmIrightamIrightamIright? Or Heather?
I'm with Clisty. Unless you didn't (as I did) sing "Rick, Rick, Rick Ricky, Ricky Raccoon" in your childhood. Then not.
Racoon?
Because there are those people, you know, who name everything what they are. It's kind of stating the obvious, but they do it anyway: Cat. Dog. Platypus. Bobolink.
Did you name it Gary?
Dunno what you'd have named it, but it is funny that in Japanese it is also 'hand washing bear' or araiguma.
hmm maybe Lady Macbeth...you know, washing her hands. Sorry, it just follows from the handwashing thing I was thinking of.
Lets just get one thing straight: Is it spelled with one "c" or two?
Either way,
I hate racoons, AND raccoons.
P.S. You shouldn't name things you're about to kill. (You did kill it immediately, right?)
i bet you named her leta or maybe chuck
COPERNICUS! MY LOST LOVE!
I hope you exterminated those varmins.
Popcorn.
Leta.
Dooce.
Mackenzie.
(They're Nature's Little Bandits, you know.)
Dick Van Dyke?
you named it Chuck!
Daniel Boone perhaps?
YOu are so much better than Dooce who seems committed to letting the world know how foul and chic (?) post-Mormon motherhood is.
You win. :)
I just added dooce to my bloglines account again to see if I liked her any more than I did before....to see if she'd gotten any better.
No, not really.
Bitter isn't my favorite flavor.
(bitter critter gitter--cracking up!)
Pontius Pilate, of course.
Isn't he the most famous handwasher of all time?
I like dooce. Her opinions can be brash but she seems like an honest-open person. I am not LDS but I can see how she might rub a few people the wrong way. I enjoy CJANE as much as DOOCE....you both bring something great to the table !
Some have called c jane the "Mormon Dooce." You know.
~j beat me to POPCORN. Critter Gitter... hahaha. Gitter 'Critter' Done!
I am changing my answer...
Smokey.
Tuna?
looks like we need to organize the 2nd annual Michael Scott Dunder Mifflin Scranton Meredith Palmer Memorial Celebrity Rabies Awareness pro-am fun run race for the cure...
SPENCER!
Rico?
Maybe Rascal?
Based on the title i think the name is "Apricot"
Santa? St. Nick? Stupid Criminal?
The Chief Part Dooce?
Rick. Like Ranger Rick.
And raccoons are the #1 carrier of rabies. I learned that a week ago in my Microbiology class. So if Rick isn't washing his hands, RUN! (Rabies makes you afraid of water.)
SPENCER!!!!!!
If thats a real pic of your raccoon-look down by the foot of the raccoon and you'll notice a wee baby raccoon with it. You need another name:)
Smokey was my guess--but dang it--someone said it.
I enlarged the picture and saw the other racoon in there.
I must say that you named them Popcorn and Apricot.
Well, I was going to tell the Raccoon's name but now I see that the trend these days is to NOT disclose real names on the internet because of the gagillion perverts that are just waiting to know real names so that they can kidnap and foil lives!!!
Besides, your guesses are quite entertaining . . .
Waaa Haaa!
Oh, it's a girl? How about Terri or Barbara?
Oh yes and could everyone please change their links to read: c jane, the Mormon Dooce?
Thanks.
CJANE,
I believe "Dooce" is trademarked. Would you settle for "Il Duce"? People would say things like "She doesn't cuss like Dooce, but she made the trains run on time..."
