Straight from the I-Swear-I-Am-Not-Making-This-Up files: Evening Post Ventures and Evening Post Publishing Co. -- owner of The Post and Courier, the South's oldest daily newspaper -- announced last week that April 2007 will see the launch of their new lifestyle magazine, "Garden & Gun".

Garden. And Gun. I had no idea gardening involved semi-automatic weapons. Or that my neighbor, Mrs. O'Hurlehey, could be packing whist she cheerfully tends to her begonias. (Remind me to stop "sampling" her beefsteak tomatoes when she's not home.)

I'm hoping for this magazine to be a huge success. So we see a trend in more mixed hobby magazines. I'm pulling for "Knitting & Nunchucks" next.
