OK OK I know the Rocky Raccoon I just bought on the big auction site is no dummy...but I might be.

Anyway, the spring-creature is being sent to me with no instructions.

Will I need them, or is the operation of critter self evident.

I have never owned a spring-animal before.

Is there a kind soul out there who could send me a copy of said instructions for Rocky?

Help.

PS - I did not know where else to post this topic (Rocky not being a vent dummy etc). I assume rocky will never talk since his mouth does not appear to articulate etc., but I suppose he could be a ventriloquist raccoon!

PS #2 - At no time did my lips move while typing out this post.

PS #3 - The third sentence in my prior post should end in "?".

PS #4 - I intend to levitate Rocky, among other things. A penny for your thoughts.

Here's a quick instruction:
1) First finger below the raccoon's face
2) Thumb above the raccoon's face

Wriggle your finger to turn the head left and right, move your thumb to move the head up and down.

Then watch David Williamson for ideas.

Thanks guys!

The David Williamson link is great.

By owning a Rocky Raccoon figure, you MUST commit this to memory

Now somewhere in the black mining hills of Dakota
There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon
And one day his woman ran off with another guy
Hit young Rocky in the eye Rocky didn't like that
He said I'm gonna get that boy
So one day he walked into town
Booked himself a room in the local saloon.

Rocky Raccoon checked into his room
Only to find Gideon's bible
Rocky had come equipped with a gun
To shoot off the legs of his rival
His rival it seems had broken his dreams
By stealing the girl of his fancy.
Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil
But everyone knew her as Nancy.
Now she and her man who called himself Dan
Were in the next room at the hoedown
Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
He said Danny boy this is a showdown
But Daniel was hot-he drew first and shot
And Rocky collapsed in the corner.

The doctor came in stinking of gin
And proceeded to lie on the table
He said Rocky you met your match
And Rocky said, Doc it's only a scratch
And I'll be better I'll be better doc as soon as I am able.

Now Rocky Raccoon he fell back in his room
Only to find Gideon's bible
Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt
To help with good Rocky's revival.
