It didn’t take long! I actually think the very first few sentences out of my father and Woofie’s mouths had something to do with my old high school nickname. You see, I had two three nicks. First was Twister, after my last name. Second was Short Stack (just recently resurfaced by Notch), which arose from a bungled Sunday breakfast order at the Shilo Inn and was gleefully assisted in it’s legacy by the waitress. But the third was a far more insidious incarnation, all thanks to the magic of George Lucas and Ron Howard; for I was called: Peck.
You know the scene in Willow, where Madmartigan is caged at the crossroads between the warring human Daikini lands and the lush landscapes of the wee-folk known as Nelwyns and he curses Willow for not freeing him? That’s where my second nick came from. Who of the gang first threw it out, I can’t remember. It stuck, and after 10 years of not hearing it, I’m back and it’s one of the first things that is to greet me.
So, I’ve been struggling with Stonethorn over the past few weeks. With so much time on my hands I want to post little blurbs, or messages that aren’t quite full post material. It’s daunting to come up with full submissions for Stonethorn with that big House Industries font declaring that it’s an important post; so daunting, in fact, that I wanted another outlet to post my trivial waxings.
The solution is what I’m calling: PeckPosts!
PeckPosts are something you won’t get the usual email reminder telling you this site has been updated, because these little posts really aren’t that significant. They’ll be smaller book recommends, movies to see, idiots I collide with and criticize, things of that nature. Little Things. Peck Things. So, if you want to read them, you’ll have to check back without a cutsie reminder.
You can see them from now on: here.

Willow went from endearing to a wee child molester with just a head change.
Nelwyn, can you be any more self-depreciating? Next thing you know you’ll paste your head on the “40 Year Old Virgin’s” and start an Abstinence Al’s Corner.
TissueDevil, many Asian men will see your picture and want to have sex with your armpit. I’m not saying it’s wrong to have that sexy picture, just remember that you’ll have to clean it. ; )
Stop blaming your preversness on the Asians frosty, you sick bastard.
Hey, it’s not my perversion. I read it on YOUR site last week.
That is hands down the coolest picture I’ve EVER seen in my entire life.
It may reflect poorly on your self-image, but the fact that your sense of humor shows itself in such dark ways shows you carry it well. 
You’re my photoshop hero. I keep getting my ass kicked by photoshop. I want to make kewl stuff like u.
Whatever happened to ‘Short Stack’? I think that one was my favorite. The most practicle and versatile, anyway.

[...] I found this little gem (no pun intended), was courtesy of my friend, Lynn, over at http://www.stonethorn.com. Every time I see this pic it leaves a huge smile on my face. Just the look on his face and how perfectly matched the head is to the body of “Willow”. Shear beauty! [...]
