OPEN POST: Riverdale Road

By

If you've ever clicked on one of those listicles about urban myths from different US states, no doubt you've heard about...RIVERDALE ROAD...in Colorado near Denver.

There's all sorts of legends about this actually quite lovely and scenic road. Jogger ghost, burned down mansion, portals to hell, etc. The usual. You can read more in this 9news article.

If you do read the article, the quote from the local law enforcement about the lack of verification for any of these stories will, maybe, stand out to you. Want to know why?

Because it's not haunted. I don't care what the so-called ghost hunter says in the article. This all started from an acquaintance of mine being an idiot.

The Satanic Panic that started in the 80s was still well underway in the mid 90s, when said acquaintance and a friend decided to scare their girlfriends by painting satanic symbols all over an abandoned barn and chicken coop and then bringing their girlfriends out there. Eventually, it ended up on the local news, and ever since the legend has grown.

The scariest thing about Riverdale Road is it's dark and curvy, and makes it pretty easy to get into a car accident if you're not used to driving it. So if you're touristing in that area, I recommend going during the day. Not because ghosts, but because curves.

Honk-honk! It's Monday, yes, but as most of you know, this needn't be cause for concern, as our Monday Mayhem Manor Parade™ is right now marching throughout the estate and outlying township, bringing joy to all who behold it.  Feeling blue? Come outside or gaze out your window. Who can resist the sight of marching fowl, pandas, chickens, and, of course, a smattering of Bendy Boyz™? Life beyond our hamlet may be troubled, but here? Relief and giggles. Fred says it best:  Meanwhile, Mr. Tristin Spratt, your devoted Peckerwood MajorDomo, would like to thank all who attended Peckerwood's first "Klassy Manor Movie Night" last Saturday eve, hosted by our very own Raincoaster! It was a rousing success, though the Manor crew had much popcorn and detritus to clean up, along with the scrubbing-up of suspicious fluids and goo in the back row of the second balcony.   Would you like to host a "Klassy Manor Movie Night?" Do email us to set it up. Here are a few things

OPEN POST: Want to See an Elephant Peel a Banana? OF COURSE YOU DO!

Pang Pha is a particular elephant. She loves her bananas, but only if they come a certain way and she knows what she likes. This beauty should live out her life in comfort with muscled, gorgeous go-go boys in tiny shorts feeding her all the bananas she can eat. Yellow-green is preferred, but in a pinch, she will peel her own bananas. Thank you very much . Even go-go boys need their beauty sleep.  As manor residents, we get to interview worthy employees skilled enough to care for our Pang Pha and be eye candy so we can ogle and objectify them whenever we feel like it. Oh, and we feel like it. Oh yes, we do ! photo: Getty
