Open Post: With Plymouth's Brand-New 1955 Belvedere Wagon!

By AK

Is there anything better than driving a mint-new car off the lot and right into your own breezeway? I don't think so. Finally you've got room for your spouse, your kids, your pets and your groceries, all in one vehicle.

In 1955 the top movies were "Oklahoma!" (in color and Cinemascope). the under-rated masterpiece "Bride Of The Monster" by Ed Wood, "Lady And The Tramp" (not a biopic of Lana Turner, all rumors to the contrary) as well as the most critically acclaimed and financially successful film of all time, "Female On The Beach."

Also, "Rock Around The Clock" topped the radio charts that year, and it later served as the intro for "Happy Days."


So put your glad rags on and join us, hon, we're gonna have some fun 'til the clock strikes one!

OPEN POST: You Decide! Who's Particularly Popular With Subpar Skills?

Wheeeeeee! Let's play a game! Post a picture of someone whom you believe is unduly popular and well-paid given their wee amount of talent. And it doesn't even have to be showbiz peeps, though so many are richly deserving. I'll go first. Drumroll, please.  Tim Cook. Sure, Steve Jobs was a diffy act to follow, but besides fattening the pockets of Apple's shareholders, Cook's talents appear to be minimal, even diminutive, unless you consider this  the work of a talented mind. Word on the street is that he'll retire in the coming year, which can't come too soon for many who believe that hobnobbing with terrorists  - who would otherwise be quite happy to imprison or kill his talent-free gay ass - is just tackiness.  Okay, your turn. Ready? Go! Photo Credits: Funkipedia, Getty Images

She's sporting a rare, more casual look complete with a serene face and flowing long hair. Liebovitz's signature moody lighting and background gives the photo a more intimate feeling.  The 61-year old former First Lady posted the image in honour of the new edition of Liebovitz's book, Women . In her caption, Obama praised the book for expanding how we see women and the lives they lead through her lens. The new edition of Women hit shelves on November 4th. Source: USA Today

OPEN POST: Do You Have Mac and Cheese on Thanksgiving?

Credit: Noah Fecks/Food & Wine While we Canadian Peckers already got our fill of turkey back in October, our neighbours to the South are celebrating the holiday this week. Naturally I am seeing a lot of recipes crop up for the beloved classic dishes like turkey, stuffing, pies, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, rolls, etc. But I have noticed that mac and cheese appears to be a popular dish for the holiday. After doing some research, it appears to be a common Southern tradition, with the dish becoming more ubiquitous in the Northern states as people moved around the country.  So, Peckers who celebrate Thanksgiving, do you enjoy an ooey gooey scoop of mac and cheese on your dinner plate? If so, what recipe do you enjoy? The last few years I have seen Tini's mac and cheese recipe be named one of the best of all time. Anything that involves 2.5lbs of cheese is bound to be good in my books. Gobble gobble!
