Watch Recomendation: Nick Johnson "Unboxing" - on You Tube

By

A friend of a friend who has a cousin who has a best friend who knew this guy who dated this girl recommended  Nick Johnson's "Unboxing" series on You Tube. Just kidding. I actually found it when I was on You Tube doing a search on rudest cities in the US and I went down a rabbit hole watching his videos.

Nick Johnson's "Unboxing" is series on each US state. He combines history and current facts and presents it with humor and snark over videos that show different parts of the state he's covering.  At the end of each video he sings a parody about the state, usually to the tune of a popular song. Here's the video about Minnesota. He discusses their love of casseroles, ice fishing, their accent and what it's like living in different parts of the state.

When I I started watching it, I thought, "hey this dude knows what the hell he's talking about" when it comes to describing each US state, what its like living there, and their funny stereotypes. IMO, his descriptions and observations are pretty accurate. He has a side kick, "Mappy", who is a cartoon map that occasionally pops up with his family. Mappy is a bit of a doofus and Nick gives him a hard time when they banter.

Nick also has other videos that cover different topics such as rudest states, fattest states, dumbest, smartest, hottest, coldest, best flag designs - you get the idea. The videos are about 25 minutes, so it's an easy watch.

Anyway, if you're bored and want to watch someone poke fun at each state with facts, history, and snark give it a try. Here's the link to his You Tube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@NickJohnson

BTW: I was not compensated by You Tube or Nick Johnson for this. So there.

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.

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
