“It is a pity that there are no big creatures to prey on humanity. If there were enough dragons and rocs, perhaps mankind would turn its might against them. Unfortunately man is preyed upon by microbes, which are too small to be appreciated.” ~ T.H. White, The Book of Merlyn: The Unpublished Conclusion to The […]

Tonight’s mind dropping is drawn from the Season 7 section of the Dark Sentiments archives. I have marvelled ever since at the restraint of the musically gifted among my Goode Readers as exhibited by none having expressed interest in recording this toe tapping ditty. Ah well, my door is still open. Dark Sentiments Season 7 […]

“The first time I read Lord of the Rings, I’m sure I was personally responsible for skyrocketing values of stocks for companies involved in the production of bacon, mushrooms, and dark, full bodied beers. I absolutely enjoy any literature that confronts me with a description of food consumed by the characters that leaves me wanting […]

This morning I was consulted by an electrical contractor in the matter of Dorma 1800 Series door closers — devices designed to hold a fire door open, and trigger positive closure when smoke is detected. As we were reviewing the installation manual together on the phone, this cropped up, and it was lucky he had […]

Literature is effervescent with the weaponry of Heroism, binding the bearer to the facing of perils unimaginable to the mere mortal he or she subsisted as before the day of chosenness. With this endowment comes a sacred duty to right ancient wrongs and rid the world of the darkest evils in a fight unto death, […]
