Julie explained below... I remember it now because of that evil

It's completely absurd, of course.

Yes, I DO remember it now, for some reason I forgot the pet psychic
part of it, but I certainly remember about that sinister racoon.

Maybe the racoon was planning on abducting and selling these poor
moggies into servitude?

There are a couple of things that turn me off when it comes to Southern bbq.
#1: A whole hog gets BBQ'd and then the meat gets chopped up and mixed up. The tenderloin is mixed with the leg, the leg is mixed with the loin, the loin is mixed with the shoulder etc. This is some type of Carolina BBQ; it's a complete turn off.
We do whole hog BBQ here in this part of Canada. But we get pieces cut off, along with the lovely skin.
#2: I also don't like pulled pork. I'd prefer mine sliced.

Wild animals can be psychopaths. When I was about 6 years old, I heard wild dogs outside. Instead of waking my parents, I was just kind of frozen. The next morning, we found quite a few chickens with their heads off, and they were mutilated with their blood drunk in a few cases. I still feel bad to this day, that I woke no one up.

Raccoons? My Mum had trouble. There was a coon that took her 5 young ones, and one by one dropped them down the chimney, where they landed in her fireplace. The fireplace was not burning, so they survived. We gave them to the neighbour, because she was into saving animals. I think the animal humane society ended up taking them; they were probably destroyed.

Online. The raccoon had been tormenting us for awhile.

Yeah. I did watch The Simpsons for a time.
