I had a friend (a good Texas kid) who had a bunch of stories like these. Not quite as great as squeezing a a racoon to pass a breath-lock, but pretty good. They all started with "So my friend was holding this armadillo down in the backseat of my car so we could spray-paint it...." or "we made this chain of geese using fishing wire, some bread, and an old nut..."
Anyway, this guy's obviously lucky he didn't kill anybody, himself included. But it's a pretty creative use of a stray raccoon. I can't imagine how he caught one in the first place stumbling drunk, though.
