Knives, ice picks, axes, pitchforks, letter openers, rope, plastic bags, spoons, and even safety pins can be great weapons. A weapon can be made out of anything (as well it should!) that can be found within a one foot radius. Regardless of any tool you pick up with your hands, the most powerful weapon of all is your mind.

That being said, I still whole heartedly believe that every woman should own a chainsaw.

Getting through the Holidays is tough on everyone. The grueling lines at the supermarket, the urgent lack of parking spaces when you badly need to urinate, and of course that damn bird that always comes out dry, burned, and way too salty (at least mine do).

But the winter days don’t need to be full of frustration. It can be a blessing in disguise, and relief can be offered in one beautiful motion. The next time some inconsiderate bully takes your parking space follow him home, smash the circuit box, and kill his entire family with the tire iron you found in his Jaguar.

That will teach him.
