New peacock sound unlocked. It's pissed. It had a run in with Maddie (my dog) and I wasn't too happy about that.
Warning - turn your sound down - this thing is LOUD.

I am most honored whenever I get a new follow from a profile is well structured, with a small, finely curated list of follows and approved followers only. Usually with a terse pinned post about buggering off unless you're cool.
They think I'm cool.

Peacock update.
I'm now angrily chasing it around the yard, Benny Hill style, shouting "GIT! GIT!" and waiving a broom at it. Sometimes in sasquatch pajama pants.
