No, No, No, FUCKING NO!

| August 20, 2010

In an article titled Mount Up! that appeared on the Golden Mountain Dog Solutions blog back on 2 August 2009, I wrote at length about a stupid invention that was then being marketed as the “Doggie Lover Doll”, touted as ” … the world’s first sex doll for dogs ….” I am happy to report […]

QCS-2B Or Not QCS-2B – That is NOT the Only Question

| July 18, 2010

Not counting cellular and satellite providers, there are two options for telephone and internet service in Nova Scotia – Aliant and Eastlink. This article deals with the former company. Eastlink has so many issues I’ll be dealing with them in coming weeks. As a heavy user of the services provided by both companies I would […]

You’ll Have To Try Harder Than That

| June 28, 2010

I was on a construction site last week. A historic old church in Mahone Bay is undergoing renovations and I was there to inspect the upgrades made to the fire alarm system. One of the structural changes involved the addition of a mezzanine above a portion of the Sunday School hall. Access to the mezzanine […]

“The End of the World” As We Know It

| June 27, 2010

Lately I’ve found it impossible to swing a dead politician without hitting something that refers to the 2012 apocalyptic deadline. Apparently there’s no point in hand wringing over rogue asteroids any more because it’s all pre-determined. If you’re diagnosed tomorrow with a condition that will make your life unbearable in three or four years, forget […]

The Road to Dog Hell is Paved with Human Misconceptions

| June 24, 2010

J. Allen Boone said, “There’s facts about dogs, and then there’s opinions about them. The dogs have the facts, and the humans have the opinions. If you want the facts about the dog, always get them straight from the dog. If you want opinions, get them from humans.” It’s an unfortunate fact that what a […]

I Don’t Smell Oil – Just Bullshit

| June 15, 2010

Writer H. L. Mencken once said, “It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place.” Those words came to mind as I read the article that appeared on the CBC website this morning titled “Deep Water Oil Drill Record […]

The Spirit Lives On

| June 12, 2010

As related in my 30 May 2010 article titled Scout Leading Revisited, I was once tapped to fill the post of Publicity Chairman for the Lunenburg District Scouting Commission. Among my duties was the writing of a weekly column that appeared in both the Lunenburg Progress Enterprise and the Bridgewater Bulletin in space generously donated […]

You Can Open Your Eyes Now

| June 3, 2010

While tweaks will be ongoing – a work of art is, after all, never finished but abandoned – the updated, tarted up, and ever so meaty Large Fierce Mammal website is once again completely open for business. I may write the content around here, but all credit goes to Mrs. LFM, my incredible Mate and […]

Picture Trouble Originates at the Station

| June 1, 2010

If you come here often, it won’t have been lost on you that I’m undergoing a major site revision. Some services, like downloads, won’t be readily available until that’s finished so please be patient while the beatiful, talented, and fragrant Mrs. LFM works her magic.

The Large Fierce Mammal School of Gentlemanly Arts

| May 22, 2010

Yesterday Mrs. LFM and I were entering our automobile in the parking lot of the Bridgewater Canadian Tire. No sooner had I opened her door for her and ensured that she was safely ensconced within than I encountered a man with whom I have some small acquaintance who said as he approached, “You’re going to […]
