EVENING NIGHTCAP: O's Fav Things Vs. Mine. Martha Is In & Sydney is Out. "Carrie" Gets ANOTHER Reboot (5th?)

By
Image
    ► Black Friday is a few days away. For those of you who partaking in this capitalism holiday, Oprah Winfrey's Favorite Things is here to make you feel like shit since you can't afford most of what's on it. Actually this year she's including some affordable gifts. But in this economy her definition of affordable means gifts whose prices do not have a comma.  I went to her website to see what she's peddling. What shocked me was her photo. Damn...she looks like a snow globe bobblehead that should be on a dashboard of a taxi cab. Below are some of crap she's promoting this year (aka pay for play). Anyhoo, I'm baffled about the $32 chocolate chip cookies. They look like sawdust...and probably taste like it too. And $99 for a scarf? Unless that scarf has magical Harry Potter powers that makes Miss O disappear, I'd rather spend my money paying bills.  Read More  Photo:  Oprah Winfrey Magazine.com Comment: Now that you've seen some of O's Favorite T...

OPEN POST: Do You Have Mac and Cheese on Thanksgiving?

By
Image
Credit: Noah Fecks/Food & Wine While we Canadian Peckers already got our fill of turkey back in October, our neighbours to the South are celebrating the holiday this week. Naturally I am seeing a lot of recipes crop up for the beloved classic dishes like turkey, stuffing, pies, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, rolls, etc. But I have noticed that mac and cheese appears to be a popular dish for the holiday. After doing some research, it appears to be a common Southern tradition, with the dish becoming more ubiquitous in the Northern states as people moved around the country.  So, Peckers who celebrate Thanksgiving, do you enjoy an ooey gooey scoop of mac and cheese on your dinner plate? If so, what recipe do you enjoy? The last few years I have seen Tini's mac and cheese recipe be named one of the best of all time. Anything that involves 2.5lbs of cheese is bound to be good in my books. Gobble gobble!

EVENING NIGHTCAP: Danglecore Trend. I Gotta Pay $18 FOR WHAT? Kevin Spacey Backpeddles.

By
Image
  ► I'm not into trends these days. Frankly, most of them suck. In the era I grew up, we had kick ass trends that included big glam rock hair, acid washed jeans, leg warmers, and mullets. When I heard of "danglecore" I thought it was planking's idiotic cousin. I visualized people dangling off  buildings, or highway overpasses, grain silos, or parking ramps. NOPE!  Danglecore refers to people dangling cutesy charms and stuffed animals on their backpacks, purses, jeans, coats, etc. Anywhere you can dangle an overpriced or bedazzled knick knack. The trend got its start with Labubus....which is this decade's Beanie Babies. Even fashion houses and the rich are fawning over danglecore. Fendi is selling $1,000 charm in the shape of bowl of fettuccine; Bottega Veneta a $650 leather kitty; and Gucci a $850 charm.   Read More Comment : Pfft...motorcyclists and the dive bar leather crowd have been doing danglecore for decades with wallet chains. So have janitors with 80 ke...

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With the Sensational Sallie Blair!

By

Welcome, Manor music sluts, to another edition of Manor Music Monday! And happy Almost-Turkey-Day for those of you in The Land of the Free (ish). Are you getting your playlists ready for your Turkey Day gathering? Me, too. And I'm avoiding Christmas tunes, thankyouverymuch, because we'll all get enough of that in the coming weeks. Why not create a playlist with all your jazz favorites - just like DJ Li'l Scratch is doing. Trust me, even tots, tweens and teenagers will like jazz when introduced to it. Besides, haven't they listened to enough Cynthia and Arianna?  Meanwhile, if the picture above doesn't say "sizzle," then I don't know what does. Behold Sallie Blair, a red-hot jazz chanteuse in the 1950s and early 60s who never attained big-time stardom. Why, you ask? Once again, the rise of rock 'n' roll obliterated her and many other mainstream jazz artists from radio playlists, leaving her to record only a few LPs, score some TV gigs, and dazzl...

PECKERWOOD'S WEEKLY LUNOCRACY POST! For the Week of 11/24/25!

By
Image
Are we having fun yet? The elections brought a blue wave, the shutdown has ended, and the Epstein files will soon be released. Why so "sad-emoticon?" At least some people are having a good time , right? Though I guess it depends on what side of the aisle you're on, or if you'd like to receive actual healthcare.  I suppose things could get better in the short term, since stranger things have been happening lately , yet when the entire economy appears beholden to a bunch of wealthy, but  dim-witted, tech bros , it's had to work up any real excitement, especially since said tech bros are trying to lasso in your kids.  At least we have hopeful distractions, but we all know how well those will turn out:  Art Credit: Joel Pett/Tribune Content Service, Dave Whamond/Cagle

OPEN POST: You Decide! Who's Particularly Popular With Subpar Skills?

By
Image
Wheeeeeee! Let's play a game! Post a picture of someone whom you believe is unduly popular and well-paid given their wee amount of talent. And it doesn't even have to be showbiz peeps, though so many are richly deserving. I'll go first. Drumroll, please.  Tim Cook. Sure, Steve Jobs was a diffy act to follow, but besides fattening the pockets of Apple's shareholders, Cook's talents appear to be minimal, even diminutive, unless you consider this  the work of a talented mind. Word on the street is that he'll retire in the coming year, which can't come too soon for many who believe that hobnobbing with terrorists  - who would otherwise be quite happy to imprison or kill his talent-free gay ass - is just tackiness.  Okay, your turn. Ready? Go! Photo Credits: Funkipedia, Getty Images
