Notes: True confession here for a moment. While I love saving tech specs and file cards, and bemoan their absence in their purest sense from more recent issues (or their inclusion as foldout scraps of paper in trilingual packaging in order to avoid the costs of individualized packaging), I very seldom read them on their own. And even when I do, I only skim. So nine months (and counting) of TFs of the Day has been an education at least with respect to mottos and functions. What’s this got to do with Slog, you ask? Two words. Combat Artist. Who came up with that one? Was warrior taken? Still, best job description ever! It alone warrants his inclusion into this list!
