Badgers are interesting too!
America is cool because we have raccoons (alternatively, racoons – this word, originally Powhatan Algonquian, has also been Englished as Rahaugcums, Raugroughcums, arocoune, Arathkone, Aroughcun, Rarowcun).
We also have Maine Coon Cats, who apparently take their name from the raccoon. The first recorded mention of the breed in cat literature is of one named “Captain Jenks of the Horse Marines” – an unwieldy name but Maine Coons are unwieldy cats.
I’m convinced that my street-born cat Jonah is a Maine Coon. He’s got all the characteristics! But the breeders – the same top-hatted, moustache-twirling eugenicists who are breeding the Maine Coons’ God-given polydactyly out of them – say you can only tell by pedigree. Here’s Jonah at ease, sleepy, and showing off his big paw in a normal-sized hand.
Anyways, America and my cat are assuredly great, but what I meant to say is that I’ve always wanted to see a badger. Here’s a story about a badger gettin’ bizzo in Worcestershire.

my dad used to sing the song, “captain jinks of the horse marines”:

I’m Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines
I feed my horse on corn and beans,
And often live beyond my means
Tho’ a Captain in the Army.
i believe it also turns up in one of the Little House on the Prairie books — Pa sings it, i think.

“I Didn’t Believe It at First…” When I first came across this guide, alarm bells were ringing. After all my time spent playing this game, getting coins and FV cash was so difficult! But when I downloaded this guide, I didn’t believe it at first but getting coins and FV cash is so easy! Now, I have a villa and pink tractors!
