OPEN POST: Giraffe Grabs Toddler Because Parents are Bonafide Idiots and A Peacock Eludes Keystone Cops.

By



Safari Parks are absurd at best to me, and I am being 100 percent judgy. Why would a giraffe want to live on some janky stretch of land in Texas to be ogled and irritated? If I were that giraffe, this would have had a different ending. I would have taken a bite of tender baby flesh and galloped away laughing wildly. Of course, my economy seat on the hell bus was secured a long time ago, so I can say shit like that. 

Also, there is a peacock on the loose in Saginaw, Michigan. The shenanigans that have happened trying to catch the elusive peacock are the stuff of comedies. Scaling trees, hot pursuit on foot, and that peacock laughs and laughs, and like a roadrunner, off it goes:

A student spotted the peacock on Monday while driving to Valley Lutheran High School in Saginaw County. Rachel Horton, the director of the Saginaw County Animal Care and Control Center, mentioned that the student attempted to bring the peacock to school and locate the owner, but the peacock managed to escape.

Animal control officers almost caught it on Tuesday morning, but it disappeared again, leaving them with scratches. Horton also mentioned that they must improve their tree-climbing skills for future capture attempts. The animal control center urgently needs financial support from the community to purchase a $150 animal capture net, a critical tool in their ongoing efforts to capture the peacock.

Horton recognized citizens' efforts to capture the bird, underscoring the community's shared responsibility in this situation.

The owner of the peacock remains a mystery.

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
