“He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you.” ~ Friedrich Nietzsche, Aphorism 146, Jenseits von Gut und Böse (Beyond Good and Evil) (1886) I’m known to write of darksome things, That spring from man and […]

Fun With the Great Unwashed By LFM There’s a thing I like to do, Each seven years or so. I spread a rumour that I’ve died Through towns I rarely go. Then off about my business For at least another year, Watching people stop and stare, Then cross themselves in fear. Most fun of all […]

Today is Canada Day here in the Great White North, and as such offers me yet another opportunity to educate the world in the history of the nation. I’m even more inspired to invoke the Truth because this year marks Mrs. LFM’s induction as a Canadian citizen, and my exposure to the government supplied knowledge […]

To begin, I offer this summary from an article posted Wednesday by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation: A Lunenburg man has been fined $5,000 and is prohibited from owning animals for 10 years after his Portuguese water dog died when he left it inside his car in Wolfville during a hot day last summer … … […]

Bloody Foreigners is the name of a four part series that aired on British television beginning in 2010. It tells the story of how pivotal events in British history were brought to a successful conclusion in no small part through the efforts of non-British people. The series title alone spoke to me because I am […]
