If you’ve gotten far enough to read this after Mrs. LFM’s title photo, and if you believe the hype, the year just ended will also mark the end of the calendar printing industry because 2012 is it. Well, Mrs. LFM and I have appointments the day after Armageddon so that shit’s not on for us. […]

Canadian Tire recently began selling the Fasthawk tomahawk manufactured by SOG Specialty Knives and Tools. The local branch is a security client of ours and recently, whenever I was there, I could hear the damn thing calling my name.
