The Gator State Welcomes Parasitic Infections!

Malaria! It's not just for the subtropics anymore! 

Yes, it's true. Malaria has made a thrilling arrival in the Sunshine State, joining radioactive roads, gung-ho gun laws and easy-peasy death. So far, there's four confirmed cases and more expected (and only one in Texas, the slackers). Does it get better? Yes, it does. Because given the psychological effects of the disease, at last we have an explanation for Ron DeSantis: 


Paranoid delusions? Check. Impulsivity? Check-check. Incomprehensible flight of ideas? All the checks. And don't get me started on internal bleeding, impaired consciousness and jaundice. I can only take so much excitement. Quick! Someone give the li'l  skeeters directions to Mar-a-Lago.

Any day now, DeSantis will surely order his mudflap minions to cover the entire State in mosquito netting in lieu of vaccines, because vaccines are for losers. Also, QAnon already told us that vaccines make you ghey. Why, just the other day, a normy young Floridian got a vaccine, and - horrors! - look what happened to him. 

And for those who think malaria is nature's way of saying, "Don't come to Florida!", you're obviously jelly. Florida has the bestest diseases and the bestest ever mosquitos. You wish your State was this glamorous.

Peckerwood Manor's ELECTION PANIC-A-GOGO!

It's happening right now! This is place to scream about the election; to vent, to rejoice, to grumble, then scream again. I swear, your throat will feel like sandpaper once this day is done. Have you voted yet? Are you in line? Post pictures! Is your heart skipping beats? Do you fear for the future? Of course you do! But crucially, do you have enough booze and pills to get through this? What, exactly, are you taking or drinking? We want to know. And what are you eating? Are you a sugar or salt whore? We want to know that, too.  Leave those who'd rather not discuss such matters to our special Election-Free Open Post , since today, for one day only, we're gettin' real and gettin' dirty  in our own gasping, shrieking, blood-soaked election post. Hold tight.

OPEN POST: We Will Survive!

Rise up, my chickens. We're all worth fighting for.  It won't be easy, it won't be fun, but through the long dark of night and on to a new day, it will surely be worth it. We don't regularly refer to politics in our Open Posts, but today, I think it's worth noting that many of us got through eight long years of Ronald Reagan - and it was a nightmare, and for many of my contemporaries, deadly. But here we are, we're still standing. We'll get through this, too, I promise.  What does this mean in the short-term? Tears, fury, booze, pills, or weed, of course. You have my permission - not that you need it - to comfort yourself however you like for the rest of the week. But come Monday, all bets are off. Bitches won't even see us coming.

OPEN POST: Monday Music At The Manor With DJ Li'l Scratch!

Are you freaking out about the election tomorrow? Me, too. Or maybe you're having a more generalized "It's Monday, oh-my-fucking-gawd" freak out? In either case, please allow Peckerwood Manor's esteemed DJ Li'l Scratch to take you away. Many of you already know about Li'l Scratch, as he regularly lays tracks at "Heavy D's," the Manor's exclusive after-hours club.  Today he's spinning Teri Thornton, a vibrant, husky-voiced jazz singer and piano player who hailed from Detroit. In 1961, she exploded onto the scene with her debut LP, "Devil May Care," demonstrating show-stopping vocal prowess. The reviews were through the roof and so was the public reception, yet just as suddenly - poof - she vanished after a few more LPs, her career thwarted by market changes given the rise of rock 'n' roll. And that was that. She was all but forgotten, reduced to driving a taxi to make ends meet.  But in a jaw-dropping comeback, she re
