THE ROVING PECKER PRESENTS: Spooky Christmastime Tales From Raincoaster!

By
Image
Greetings, Manor Hors! Periodically, "The Roving Pecker" presents urgent missives from filthy esteemed guest writers. Today's chilling entry is from Raincoaster! The snow. The pure, driven snow. The beautiful snow. The sparkling, seductive snow. The deadly snow. We in Canada know that the snow, the gorgeous and mystical messenger of Winter, can be as fatal as it is stunning. But Hugh Walpole, the largely-forgotten but once-popular writer, was born in New Zealand. Nonetheless, he was educated in England from early childhood, in a series of schools which terrorized the delicate lad, so much so that he expunged all but the most prestigious from his entry in Who's Who. His style nods to Horace Walpole (no relation except in the Gothic and psychological nature of their writing), Nathaniel Hawthorne (particularly in this story), and to his dear (perhaps intimate) friend Henry James. Mannered, tense, subtly building to a climax that seems inexorable but may also be nothing ...

By
Image
  ► Actor and unfunny comedian, Andy Dick (59), was found sitting on steps and unresponsive in what authorities are calling an apparent overdose. Onlookers saw him slumped over and called 911.

Andy has a Tolstoy novel of issues and offenses that include: public intoxication, sexual battery, sexual assault, groping, indecent exposure, multitude drug & alcohol arrests, assault with a deadly weapon, domestic violence, and burglary.

PECKERWOOD BOOK CLUB: Reading Glasses Are Consumables, Plus Jess Walter's "So Far Gone!"

By
Image
Greetings, reading sloots! It's time once again to share what books you've been reading, which ones to avoid, but mostly, which ones you heartily recommend, because we could all use a good yarn in These Trying Times™, amireet? Speaking of reading - in bed or on the couch - if you're like me, your eyes have started that slow, inevitable betrayal which demands reading glasses. Shudder. And if you're also like me, you don't invest in those $200 designer frames, you buy the cheapest damn pharmacy readers you can find. Why? Because you know their lifespan will be tragically brief. The moment the phone rings, someone dares to knock (the nerve!), or the hubs emits a sound requiring immediate attention, those glasses are flung off faster than  a flimsy cocktail dress during a tawdry alleyway encounter (no one can see you except that homeless dude peeking out from the Dumpster!). I jump into action, dismissing the wee plastic cheaters with a negligent - but stylish, always s...

Open Post: With The Delicious Elvis Special!

By AK
Image
Elvis is in the building - and he's making a sandwich! I made it, too (and ate it) so you don't have to (though you might want to). The first rule of any culinary masterpiece is that the end product is only as good as its individual ingredients. That's why I started with Wonder Bread, because fine dining is never about health, it's about the flavor (or, to paraphrase one Betty Perske, the deep-brewed flay-vuh!). Take 2 slices of Wonder Bread, spread them both with thick smears of Jif (for my taste, a typical PBJ should utilize about a quarter of a jar) and add sliced banana to one piece: Then add some crisp, possibly-purloined bacon to the other slice: Then smash one slice against the other and inhale deeply. Not gonna lie, this was fan-friggin'-TASTIC! I made two and enjoyed the hell out of them. Some versions of the Elvis Special call for the sandwich to be grilled, but that just sounds unhealthy to me.  And (lest you think the bacon/peanut butter combo is unprec...

EVENING NIGHTCAP: Is Tara Backpeddling? I Disagree With Dame Judi. Simone's Surgeries & Advice Confuse Me.

By
Image
  ► About 2 weeks ago, Tara Reid's claimed that her drink was spiked by someone at a hotel bar in Rosemont, IL (a Chicago suburb). Tara ended up being carted away in a stretcher and taken to the hospital to undergo a bunch of test. Scary stuff. The cops are still on the booze clues case and waiting for test results. In the meantime, police reviewed surveillance videos and found no evidence that a Spanish fly was slipped into her drink. Video showed the actress with drink and the bartender placing a napkin over it (standard practice) when she stepped out to smoke a ciggie. While she was outside, the video showed the drink where she left it at the bar with the napkin on top and no one messing with it. Anyhoo, Tara made some comments yesterday that are giving off a whiff of back peddling. She said the media twisted her words and that she's being bullied and judged for something she doesn't recall.   Read More   "I’ve been honest about the fact that I don’t remember any...

The couple sported outfits made of the same orange tarp material designed by Chrome Hearts. I'm really loving Timmy's struggle 'stache and Kylie's cross accessories. The class is unmatched! Maybe these two crazy kids really are meant for each other. Orange you glad true love isn't dead?
