Imagine you return home from a trip to find a family of raccoons had somehow fallen through your roof and taken up residence in your closet. Not only that, but they also caused a not small amount of damage to your place. That’s exactly what happened to one Twitter user, who posted about the experience.

What a guy, huh?

Every new casting announcement we see for NBC Peacock’s upcoming “Tiger King” series makes us want to see it NOW. From Kate McKinnon as Carole Baskin, to John Cameron Mitchell as Joe Exotic, the show is really shaping up to be something entertaining.

Obviously, that’s not the only thing on his resume, as he is a fairly accomplished character actor and comedian. But seriously. This is gonna be good, and we’ll let you know what else we…
