Mrs. LFM and I work as a team in all our endeavours and hence, each of us rarely goes abroad in the land without the other. Well, today was an exception – she had some field work to do with a couple of our dogs while I got to do a fire alarm inspection in […]

In my 27 June 2010 article titled “The End of the World” As We Know It, I mentioned the party I hosted on New Year’s Eve 1999, the night the world transitioned into 2000 and everything was supposed to go to shit. The party was held at my place of residence and business which I […]

Our kitchen is equipped with a steadily growing library of books about food and drink. Add to that our voracious surfing of blogs and other websites on those subjects and it’s not surprising our diet is as rich and varied as it is. But this article isn’t about anything so grand as a recipe that […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

This article is dedicated to Eric Noeldechen whose Facebook photo album documenting his recent Wood Badge training, and the resulting correspondence, inspired me to resurrect it. And no, this is not a portrait of Eric. Back in the early 1980’s I embarked on what would be six glorious years as a Leader of Boy Scouts. […]

Hot on the heels of my last article I submit this brilliant piece of work from Blur Studio, illustrating both Gentlemanly and “gentlemanly” conduct. Take copious notes then meet me at the Pub at zero two hundred sharp for discussion. I’ll gut the bastard that says an educational film can’t be entertaining!

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 […]

I was recently rifling through the my archives and happened upon some cartoons I doodled back in the early 1980’s; around the time Mrs. LFM would have been … oh I don’t know … probably two. Now, all these years later, they made the mature Mrs. LFM laugh, so she scanned them for me and […]
