OPEN POST: A Dino Gathering for the Ages!

Image
  This weekend, the West Palm Beach waterfront in Florida hosted the largest gathering ever of people wearing dinosaur costumes. The event was put on by the Cox Science Center to promote their  Dinosaur Safari: A Walkthrough Exhibit. A total of 468 costumed creatures (earning a new Guinness World Record) turned out to watch Disney's Dinosaur  followed by Jurassic Park , which were being screened down on the waterfront. Sounds like quite the (pre)historic event! Source: Palm Beach Daily News BTW, looking for Peckerwood's Weekly Lunocracy Post? It's  RIGHT HERE .

EVENING NIGHTCAP: Foreclosure For Bill Cosby. JLo & Kevin Costner? Carrie Underwood Gets Dragged.

Image
  ► Bill Cosby can add deadbeat to his CV of shitty behavior. He and his stand-by-your-man & look the other way wife, Camille, are being sued for defaulting on $20 million in loans for 2 NYC town homes they own. The banks involved are foreclosing on the properties, one of which had been his primary NYC residence in 1987.  It's alleged the Cosby's had stopped making payments for sometime now. Someone needs to tell Bill that ignoring the banks or trying to pay them in Jello Pudding Pops doesn't work. In addition to stiffing the banks, the Cosby's owe over $300,000 in unpaid taxes. If you're thinking, "oh goody, this degenerate is about to be homeless", think again. When Bill was released from prison, he and Camille hightailed it out of NY faster than a sneeze and moved to a house they bought in 1983 in a Philadelphia suburb.   Read More Comment: At the rate he's going, he better start sucking those Jello Pudding Pops he's amassed in his freezer,...

PECKERWOOD'S WEEKLY LUNOCRACY POST! For the Week of 1/13/2025

Image
At the root of what we Americans are experiencing is this extremist view of American Exceptionalism and how the Right has taken this belief and extended it to include what they believe is their purpose and duty. Now, we have a Supreme Court dedicated to these ideas. This is what they think, and they will stop at nothing to make this happen. These idealogues must be stopped. They have taken over and plan to institute the below beliefs. Lets be prepared.  American exceptionalism is the idea that the United States of America is a unique and even morally superior country for historical, ideological, or religious reasons. Proponents of American exceptionalism generally pair the belief with the claim that the United States is obligated to play a unique role in global politics. Movements: American nationalism Anti-communism Christian nationalism Civil religion Classical liberalism Communitarianism Constitutionalism Culture of life  Pro-life Familialism Family values Federalism States...

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With Kitty White!

Image
Greetings from DJ Li'l Scratch, who's thrilled to be back at the Manor's Beeftube Lounge . Moreover, he's delighted to be spinning tunes from the fabulous Kitty White.  "Hey, ya'll, Kitty's here!" I really hope someone called that out when Kitty played a gig at their local jazz club. She looks like an approachable, fun-loving star, doesn't she? The kind of gal who's "just folks" - until she opens her mouth and sings. Then you know; there's nothing "just" about her at all. Kitty, as you may know, never achieved great fame, but on the West Coast in the 1930s and early 40s, she was "it." Born in 1923, and likely influenced by the burgeoning jazz scene on Central Avenue, the nerve center of the Black community where visiting luminaries stayed at the stylish Hotel Summerville , Kitty and her twin sister Maudie started their careers in vaudeville at the age of three - three! - and while Maudie later sang with Duke E...

Post a Pup Sundays: BBC Top 10 Planet Earth Wolf Moments

Image
As with most nature shows highlighting wild animals, there are moments of watching the animals hunting. That is a big part of their lives and the cycle of life in the wild. If those moments are too hard, this isn't for you. But if you like to study wolves, their behavior, and some silly moments, you may appreciate this mini "documentary". Whatever one might think of the BBC, they excel at nature studies, and these moments are no different,  Wolves are a special part of my husband's family lore and one of our favorite animals in the world. We call ourselves like a wolf family: Mates for life, a tight-knit unit who will always fight for each other and stay close. That is the mission and the hope.  When we were in Montana, the howling of wolves at night made me smile, calling to each other, and I imagined taking names to make sure everything was as it should be.
