OPEN POST: Meet Scorpio, The Demon Pussy Of Peckerwood Manor!

By

Woe to thee who face the wrath of Scorpio, The Demon Pussy Of Peckerwood Manor. In truth, few have seen her, though if you're assigned to feed her - as we all are, since we're on monthly rotation - you know what will happen if you're even one minute late with her bowls of Shrimp Etouffee and Pinot Noir. You will pay. Not right away, of course. She'll make you wait. 

Scorpio doesn't always intend to be evil, necessarily, but she won't hesitate to punish those who do not hold her in highest esteem. If you should be so lucky as to see her, you must pet her - and that includes her downy-soft belly when she rolls over on her back. Is it a trap? Who knows? But you are compelled to find out. 

On a related note, the Manor's infirmary is open 24/7, though if your injuries are life-threatening, kindly call for EMS transport. On an unrelated note, cook's main course tonight is baked cod fillets with steamed eggplant and tahini sauce with pine nuts and preserved lemon. If your table is not yet assigned, please call and make a reservation.

Ah hahahahahaha! Or hooray, hurrah, two snaps and a hey! Can you believe Peckerwood Manor is one year old today? We're still here , dammit, and still kickin'.  And here you are, horing and roaring right along with us.  Below, each of us joyously reflect on this, our very first Cake Day. And, yes, we come to you in alphabetical order. Why? Because we learned how to do it in preschool and we're still that cute. § AK (aka ECCE HOMO) :  Ends and beginnings! We were all shocked by the news of DListed's shuttering, but as sad as it was, I was even sadder to think I'd never again hear from everyone I'd come to know in the comments. But Bree stepped right up and created this spot - and Shonali did her part, too, starting  DListed Community (reddit.com) .  I felt so happy that we'd still be able to stay in touch, to chat about our mundane jobs, our happinesses and our (hopefully infrequent) sad times.  The very first post here, seeing all these familiar names and avi

OPEN POST: Peckerwood Field Trip - Finnish Hobby Horse Championships!

Welcome to the whimsical world of Finnish hobby horse racing, where madcap enthusiasts prance around with stick-mounted felt horse heads, leaping over obstacles and performing serious dressage routines without falling over, laughing wildly at their own antics. What started as an eccentric pastime has evolved into a serious sport with international recognition. Okay, international might be strong, but it has a following in Scandi countries and my sometimes beloved UK. But let's not kid ourselves, Peckers—it's also a riotously comical spectacle that has captured the interest of niche of equestrian lovers who are too broke to afford a horse, I mean, serious athletes with a love for wood between...like you people. This is why we are taking a field trip to Finland to watch a competition. We might even get raincoaster to suit up and join in, or one of the other Canadians whose own country has a bloodsport called curling.  Wrap your pretty heads around this: centuries ago, people were
