Open Post: The Kids Are Not Alright: Looksmaxxing. WTF Gen Z?

Image
What are these problem children up to now? Um…Nothing good so it seems. For those who haven’t paid attention because the “you in danger girl” meme silently distracted you from absorbing this knowledge with cute kittens and puppy algorithms, then I am sorry to be the one to have to drag you out of protective, blissful ignorance. I am sorry. I am.  To put it bluntly, Gen Z wins the most absurd generational trend category in a landslide. Just look at Gen X. Their entire youth was an exercise in survival of the fittest; Darwin’s theory was in full effect.  One friend remembers eating bowls of cereal and pouring milk from cartons with the faces of missing kids with "have seen me" on them. Basically, a latchkey kid is home all alone and decides a bowl of cereal sounds good, but some authority thought that advertising that bad shit happens to kids while kids make a bowl of cereal was an ace idea. Maybe the vulnerable child knew little Timmy before the bad man in the van got him....

OPEN POST: It's Wednesday, So Let's Go Downtown!

Image
(as always, please note my exceptionally professional job of obscuring  the license plate number) The year is 1965 and although the James Bond flick "Goldfinger" was released last year it was still #1 at the box-office (and at the end of '65 the follow-up "Thunderball" came out and also made a fortune). Similarly, Petula Clark's "Downtown" was released in 1964 but it also happened to be the first #1 song of 1965. And here is the luminous Ms. Clark singing it on the Dean Martin Show (accompanied by some of the gayest motherfuckin' chorus boys ever): So let's hot-wire a brand-new '65 Mercury Comet and head out--and maybe we'll see you there. We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares (sing with me) 'cause it's OP, things'll be great 'cause it's OP, no finer place for sure, OP, everyone's waiting for yo-o-u! Photo Credit: AK

OPEN POST: Brandi Glanville Got Garlic Stuck in her Ear!

Credit: The Daily Enquirer Poor Brandi Glanville just can't ever seem to catch a break. First, her husband publicly cheated on her with Falkor. Then she got some mysterious "parasite" in her face that has been causing her issues since 2023. And just this past Easter, she had to go to urgent care to remove garlic from her ear! In the latest episode of her Unfiltered podcast, the 53-year old shared how trying out a home remedy led to her needing to go to the emergency room. She had caught a head cold from her 18-year old son, Jake, and says that her other son, Mason, suggested the idea of sticking garlic in her nose to help clear her sinuses. Well poor Brandi had just gotten her face lasered so she says the garlic was burning her sensitive skin. So the next logical step was to stick the garlic in her ear! "Every time I tried to get it out, it really went down further," the reality star claims. Hey, it happens to the best of us. Now Brandi says that she has "...

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With The Unsung Peggy Connelly!

Image
Greetings, fellow prostitots, and welcome to another edition of Manor Music Monday, today with a bit of skiddly-doo, bop-bop-a-loo-bob and shoobee-doobee. These words were frequently accompanied by a wink, finger guns and tap dancing leaps, all prime words and moves from the early 1960s - just before jazz at last lost its popular hold to rock, which had been near-to-obliterating it years before. Now the job was done. Finito.  Also lost? Jazz babies, or femme jazz vocalists who were the star attraction at exclusive supper clubs, some of whom even got to cut an album or two. Like the hot-cha singing attraction, Peggy Connelly. And lucky you, tonight at the Manor's "Mack the Cat" nightclub and dinette, DJ Li'l Scratch will be playing Peggy till the early yawning hours.  At one time the wife of "Laugh-In's" Dick Martin, Peggy was a popular model, singer, dancer, and sometime TV and movie actress, in the 1950s and 60s - and a choice escort about to...

PECKERWOOD'S WEEKLY LUNOCRACY POST! For the Week of 4/13/2026 - MAGA Regret Supporting Their Orange Messiah. They Even Cry and Beg for Forgiveness. They Didn't Know! Do They Deserve Forgiveness?

Image
If, after voting for him in 2016, someone had come out and said they had regrets, one of my favorite old German friends, Schadenfreude, would have paid me a visit. I would have enjoyed their pain, their sorrow, their humiliation, but after they finally woke up, I still would have needed to see them make amends, do better, and educate themselves. I wouldn’t have befriended them or wanted them in my life. That’s asking too much. But I could have appreciated their remorse and horror at being so wrong and stupid. I wouldn’t have been sympathetic because ignorance is not an excuse when their orange messiah’s irredeemable psychopathic behavior was on full display and had been for decades. Eventually, I might have been able to tolerate them. Beyond those initial feckless fools, no MAGAt deserves grace, kindness, forgiveness, understanding, or any shred of decent treatment. They deserve to be shunned forever. They deserve hate. They deserve to be mocked and ridiculed. The only other thing they...
