OPEN POST: What's Your Favorite TV Show Theme Song?

Image
Hola, Peck-Pecks. Remember TV show theme songs? What the hell happened to them? There was a time - for a LONG time, I might add - that it was inconceivable for a television show to have absolutely no theme song - much less, no intro - whatsoever. Sadly, these days it's a lost art form, and one I'm not ashamed to say I miss because some of them were some real bangers, like my all-time favorite,  The Jeffersons  theme song, Movin' On Up.  Co-written and performed by Ja'Net DuBois of Good Times  fame back in 1975, this shit is STILL straight up fire! Tell me babes, what's your favorite TV show theme song?

OPEN POST: Have A Little Drink On Hump Day!

Image
Are their health benefits to drinking booze? Sure. In moderation, it reduces the risk of developing gallstones, heart attacks and also decreases tension, depression, and self-consciousness, which can prompt one to doff their clothes, give or receive a blowie, give or receive an energetic finger-bang, or flat-out get one's freak on. Or really, just cuddle and coo. All are healthful, all have benefits. And since it's Hump Day, be healthy. Have a little drink. Take off your clothes. But not if you're at the airport or any other public place because that's just tackiness no matter what Selena Gomez says . 

OPEN POST: Hosted by Snow White Being a Flop

Image
Snow White ? More like Snow Shite , am I right? Disney's latest live-action remake that no one asked for has been tanking at the box office. With an opening weekend grossing $45 million, the movie has quite a way to go considering it totalled $250 million in production costs.  Rachel Zegler, who stars in the film, pissed off Conservatives by stating that the original film needed updating since the prince "literally stalks" Snow White.  And there were rumours of pro-Palestinian Zegler clashing with co-star Gal Gadot, who is pro-Israeli. It also seems audiences are just over Disney continuing to make live-action remakes of the classics that help launched it to the status it enjoys today. Maybe the tanking performances will serve as a wake-up call to the executives to come up with new ideas! Sources: Disney, The Independent

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With The Heavenly Helen Humes!

Image
I t's time to jump, jam and jive, and there's no cat around who can do that better than DJ Li'l Scratch, am I right? Tonight, at the Manor's exclusive "Cake Shake Lounge," Li'l Scratch will be spinning tunes from the smoothest jazz vocalist around. Can you guess? I'll give you a hint. Who has the vocal smoothness of Etta Jones with the rhythmic snap of Della Reese? If you guessed Helen Humes, you were right.  "For who - and for what?" you might also ask.  Let me explain, first by pointing out that Cincinnati once had its very own popular Cotton Club nightspot .  "Wait - really? Shut up!" you exclaim. I will not shut up, and  for reals, it did . And get this: that's where the incomparable Helen Humes truly kicked off her career in the early 1930s. "Saucy," "rousing," "classy" and "swingin'" are just a few of the adjectives that were used to describe Helen during her heyday, though later...

OPEN POST: What is Your Favourite Piece of Cat Artwork?

  "Three Black Cats" Edward Kahler, 1891 It is a well-known fact that cats have always been the star of the show. Since ancient times they have rightfully been worshipped and immortalized in artwork. So Peckers, do you have a favourite piece of art that depicts our furry friends? Do share!

OPEN POST: Struggle Meals

Image
Times are hard and asses are fat, so what's a hungry hor to do? *insert hooker gif*   NO! We gather all our expired pantry items and a few moldy scraps from the fridge and make a struggle meal, that's what we do! One of my favorite simple meals passed down from the depression era is a glazed Spam sandwich. YES, I KNOW, CALM YOUR TITS. Spam is gooood, and I'll hear none of your elitist hoity-toityisms about "nutrition" or "sodium content" or "high risk for cardiovascular disease" because this post is not concerned about that, thankyewverymuch! Anyway, it's pretty simple. First, you mix together a little brown sugar, yellow mustard, and water in a small bowl. Then you slice your spam. Dredge the spam in the brown sugar/mustard mixture. Then heat a little cooking spray in your skillet add the spam, and cook for just a couple minutes until both sides are a little brown. You can add the remaining glaze to the skillet if you want. Put a lid ...

OPEN POST: How To Enter The Club On Hump Day!

Image
Fosse. Hot-cha! Jazz hands. Is there a better way to welcome Hump Day? "Sweet Charity" (1969) may be one of Bob Fosse's more uneven movies as a director, but as a choreographer, it has some of his most irresistible dance numbers.  When I first watched it as a child on TV, probably on "The Late Late Show," I was spellbound by the numbers at the club. This, I thought, is what it really means to be a grown up. This is what it's like when you go out on the town. And yes, I later tried to perform some of the numbers in the living room, which, let me tell you, had my older sister chuckling for days. If anyone knows of a club like the one in "Sweet Charity," call me immediately. 

OPEN POST: Hungover Today?

The older I get the less I want to go outside of my home. So naturally Saint Patrick's Day has fallen to the wayside as I can't imagine braving the crowds at the pubs like I used to do in my undergrad days. That said, many friends and coworkers did celebrate the holiday and might just be feeling under the weather today. So if that's you, here's a nice crisp glass of Alka-Seltzer to help you perk up. Cheers!

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With The Awesome Alberta Hunter!

Image
Welcome music-loving hors to DJ Li'l Scratch's favorite place to jam, the Manor's exclusive "Jenny Talia Lounge." Tonight, Li'l Scratch will be spinning tunes from a jazz master who's always made me smile, and who's the very model of perseverance and sass.  She sang for thirty long years...stopped...worked as a nurse...then twenty years later, in a jaw-dropping comeback, sang again. In a nutshell, that was the career trajectory of Alberta Hunter, whose career spanned from 1921 to the year she died, 1984, at age eighty-nine. As a child, she worked as a servant girl in a brothel. As a teenager, she took off for Chicago to make it as a singer. Her first gig? At a mob-owned bordello and speakeasy. I kid you not. Legend has it that when a mobster was shot dead one night, his body landed right on the stage before her. And she kept on singing. Word spread fast. No more bordellos for Miss Alberta. She was soon playing the best clubs, touring Europe, conquering...

OPEN POST: An Ode To Deep 'n Delicious Cake

Image
  There's been a recent trend on TikTok where international visitors to Canada wanted to try the famed McCain Deep 'n Delicious cake. This is a Canadian classic that you can find in the freezer section of any reputable grocery and/or corner store. The delicacy comes in a few different flavours, including Chocolate, Vanilla, and Marble (with chocolate icing). It's almost a Canadian rite of passage to consume an entire DnD cake at some point in your life. TikToker Andrian Makhnachov, who hails from Sweden, tried the treat on his channel and stated he thinks it would be "good for people with depression." He's not wrong! Canadian Peckers, do you enjoy the occasional Deep n Delicious cake?

This is news that I did not need, but thanks to Lily , I know just where to stick it.  Photo Credit: Getty Images

Open Post: Tragic! Beyonce Won't Act in Movies Anymore!

Image
  Source: IMDB Hollywood has lost out on one of its greatest talents. Tina Knowles, Beyonce's mother, recently posted a clip from Cadillac Records, in which her daughter starred as Etta James. Tina said it is one of her favourite movies and it makes her sad that her child has "decided not to continue with movies." Beyonce starred in many films over the years, including Austin Powers in Goldmember , The Fighting Temptations , and cinematic masterpiece Obsessed . Although Beyonce may have chosen to step down from film projects, I have a feeling she might just be paving the way for her daughter, Blue Ivy, to break onto the scene. Time will tell.  Source: Tina Knowles on instagram

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With Linda Scott And Her Big Hair!

Greetings, Manor hors, and welcome to a brand-new week and a spanking new Monday just bursting with fresh tunes, all thanks to your favorite hot puss, DJ Li'L Scratch. Tonight, he's spinning at the Manor's exclusive club, "Basement Sex Couch." And yet he's not only spinning tunes, but singing the praises of ladies with big hair. You know the type. There's the always fashion-forward Ann Miller:  The perennially delightful Patti LaBelle:  And, of course, Monster: Which brings us to singer Linda Scott, who Li'l Scratch will be playing tonight for your listening and dancing pleasure. She first came to fame as a bubbly junior high school student when she wrote to Arthur Godfrey in 1959, asked for a singing spot on his wildly popular radio show - and to her surprise, he hired her as a regular guest star. It wasn't long before record label execs came knocking on her door.  And her hair? If you wonder "How big is too big?" wonder no more, because...
