Today's theme: COUPLES!  To kick things off, we have Walmart Wallis and Prince Pringle getting the Family Guy treatment. Then we have Frances Cobain and Riley Hawk tying the knot.  Awe, congrats to them.

Grab your favorite bev and enjoy. 

► Seth McFarlane, the creator of Family Guy, decided to take a page out of Southpark and give Walmart Wallis and Prince Pringle a reality check they can't cash to fund their lifestyle. In the episode they are described as "work shy grifters who post IG photos for $250,000 and earn Netflix cash for no-one-knows-what".  Read More

Comment: Thank you Family Guy for making me laugh at these two lazy, useless blobs. You should have made an entire episode about them. My only critique is that you gave Prince Pringle too much hair.

►  Bobi, the world's oldest dog to have ever lived, had died. He was 31 (in human years). Bobi was a Rofeiro do Aletjo breed. He broke the previous record set in 1939 by Bluey, an Australian Cattle doggie who lived to be 29 years. Bobi lived his entire life with his family in a rural valley in Portugal.  Read More

Comment:  What a cute doggo! He lived a long life and seems to have been happy. Rest in peace Bobi. 

► Emily Blunt kicked off her 2023 Apology Tour for a comment she made 12 years ago that has resurfaced. A clip of her appearance on the Jonathan Ross Show was unearthed by internet sleuths (my guess - to embarrass her - who knows). In it, she shared a story about an "enormous server" who waited on her. Apparently her use of "enormous" to describe the server pissed off the social media police who are calling her rude and insensitive.  Read More

Comment: We get it. She chose her words poorly. Lesson learned.  IMO, people need to chill out. It's not like Emily kicked a puppy. Who hasn't said stupid stuff. I said stupid shit when I was young and I'm still saying stupid shit now.  Nowadays, you can't say squat without someone somewhere taking offense. These pearl clutchers are probably the same people who are out there having a hissy fit because someone used the word "dating" instead of "situationship" to describe a relationship status. That being said, what Emily SHOULD apologizing for is that awful hair and that suit in the photo above.  What color is that? Dirty dish water?

► Frances Cobain, 31, (Courtney Love and the late Kurt Cobain's kid) got married to Riley Hawk, 30 - the son of skateboarder Tony Hawk and his ex Cindy Dunbar. The 2 got hitched in a secret ceremony. Michael Stipe of REM officiated the ceremony; he's also Frances' godfather. BTW Drew Barrymore is her godmother, but it's unknown if she was there or making another crying video about her daytime show. Tony and his new wife, Catherine, were in attendance. No word if Courtney Love was there. This is the 2nd marriage for Frances.  Read More

Comments: Frances's occupation is visual artist and model. Riley is street skater.  I can see them living in an artsy-fartsy loft with a skate ramp in the middle of the room. Congrats to them.

PECKERWOOD'S WEEKLY LUNOCRACY POST! For the Week of 2/03/25!

Fuck Trump. I can't wait for him to die. No, really.  We're nearing a month into his so-called Presidency and there's already been fire in the sky and fire on the ground. And somehow it's all being blamed on D.E.I. hiring and the Green New Deal. Adding to that? The stupido tariffs against our own allies, which we'll all be paying for - or "the dumbest trade war in history" according to the right-wing Wall Street Journal .  You have to wonder if we're being punked, or if a secret MAGA double-agent isn't working on behalf of Democrats in order to tank the Republican presidency.  But the reality is more stark - and horrifying. With his blizzard of law-breaking Presidential executive orders - their sheer volume designed to have at least a handful of them approved by the far-right Supreme Court - Trump is throwing more than spaghetti at the wall, he's throwing away vital civil rights, and possibly, Social Security, Medicaid and any and all social sa...

OPEN POST: Sunday Comics! Share Your Favorites!

Sundays are fundays, right? And yet sometimes a powder keg explodes.  On October 20th, 1963, Charles Schulz published the strip above in Sunday papers worldwide, creating a now infamous controversy. It's one of my favorite Peanuts strips. But in 1963, it was no joke, since the issue of prayer in school was again rearing its ugly head in America, a perennial battle between the so-called "faithful" and those seeking to maintain the separation of church and State. The strip is very much open to interpretation, deliciously so, and though Schulz was a devoted churchgoer through at least middle-age, he was on record as opposing prayer in schools and acknowledged the importance of respecting different beliefs. Much later in life, he modified his personal faith and described himself as a "secular humanist."  The firestorm generated by the Sunday strip caused Evangelicals to claim it for themselves. Here, they insisted, was an example of the abject terror children endure...
