Not on-topic? Raccoons wear bandit masks, travel in violent gangs, break into houses and garages, steal like crazy and even take their young children with them on heists to train them in their nefarious ways. Two of them beat up my cat last week just because he looked at them funny while they were eating his dinner. (But I still like raccoons - and possums, who, btw, do not smell bad at all when they are house trained.)

But the real question is, "Are raccoons' lives hardboiled or noir?"

(I anticipate some cooking jokes in response here. Savages.)
