Of Monuments and That of Which They’re Built

| March 24, 2011

A stone monument makes a powerful statement, but it stays where it is so those of us to whom it matters must show our respect by going where it sits. That is a fact of necessity, but it doesn’t make a physical monument better than the ones built out of words and feelings. Over the […]

On This Date in 1982

| February 9, 2011

On the 9th day of February in the year 1982, a baby girl was born in the city of Wroclaw, Poland. She was one of many girls born that day, both in Poland and all over the world, but the birth of this one was special because the event marked kindling of a spark that […]

Julian Assange is a Rapist AND a Terrorist?!

Guest Post by Mrs. LFM

| December 23, 2010

I’ve been following the saga of Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, with great interest.  I support this kind of uncovering of government secrets. I think it will go a long way to helping keep people honest, a rarity in government.  Wikileaks does not post rumors, hearsay, opinions, just “classified, censored or otherwise restricted material […]

Dark Sentiments – Day 29

Guest Post by Mrs. LFM

| October 29, 2010

Mrs. LFM here this evening. My Mate has granted me the honour of doing a guest post to share my love of dark entertainment. I was introduced to dark stories at a very early age. I thrived on them. Happy endings were for wussies, I liked ’em bleak and dreary. My initiation into that world […]

A Thing of Beauty for your Viewing Pleasure

| September 27, 2009

Last Hallowe’en I married the woman of my dreams. As the glorious date of our wedding anniversary approaches, my brilliant Wife (and I will never get tired of referring to her using that term) has lovingly crafted a slide show commemorating that joyous and magickal event. Nothing more needs saying. Take a look.

Die My Dear? Why That’s the Last Thing I’ll Do.

| March 24, 2009

I took the title of this post from among the many wise and witty utterances of the immortal Groucho Marx. He also said, “I intend to live forever, or die trying.” Of no surprise to my readers will be the disclosure that my brand of humour veers sharply toward the dark side. My dance card […]

Followers of this blog will be pleased to learn that the Large Fierce Mammal and his Beautiful Mate were married this past Hallowe’en resulting in much merry making and little energy for posting here. An article of monumental interest is in the offing concerning issues relating to our union that will undoubtedly soothe the impatience […]

This Website: Underlying Causes and Symptoms

| September 2, 2008

This website is an outlet for a man, blessed by The Gods and disdainful of the clods. It’s the lectern of one who, like some hoary old primate in a tree, has finally reached that level of enlightenment from which he feels unapologetically compelled to fling turds of wisdom upon all who pass by. Each […]
