Are you a weirdo?
Are you a weirdo? How about a music nerd? Maybe a movie geek. How about a comic book fan? And do you know way too much about the entire family of everyone on Star Trek or The Witcher? Thought so. That’s cool. That’s why we started this thing. I got tired of eating lunch by […]

Why do you hate mimes?
Okay, just kidding. I know why you hate mimes. I just wanted my email to look interesting in your inbox. I see the usual 20% off stuff in there, and that invite to your class reunion I can’t even believe you’re thinking about going to, but mimes are French and they’re creepy, they dress like […]

So, what do you get out of this?
I get it. Other than the unbridled joy you feel going to your inbox every Wednesday, and the lavish gifts that again, are found in your inbox on many Wednesdays, and the knowledge that if you’ve had an exhausting day on the world wide web, or if someone doesn’t appreciate your cat video on Insta […]

Who the hell would want to upset Dolly Parton?!
We made fun of Stuart the first day he went to work at the bank. Stuart’s my brother. He’s not really my brother, but he’s my brother because he and his brother Scott and I were inseparable growing up, and, it’s a long story… but just go with me when I say Stuart’s my brother. […]

They should totally ban my music
I’m lucky people don’t know anything about music. I don’t know anything about music, but I know what I like. And I like the artsy, cinematic stuff I write. What? It’s my newsletter. Don’t like to read? Victoria reads this email to you! Anyway, I’m really lucky that nobody knows anything about music, and the […]

Is peanut butter a liquid?
Is peanut butter a liquid? Before you answer that, go get your jar outta the cupboard and have a look. My Canadian sister-in-law loves Trader Joe’s Crunchy Peanut Butter. Who doesn’t? And in addition to it being way too freaking cold, you apparently can’t get it in Canada. So, being the wonderful brother-in-law that I […]

Tchaikovsky, Danny Elfman, Frank Zappa and Wile E. Coyote walk into a bar
Tchaikovsky, Danny Elfman, Frank Zappa and Wile E. Coyote walk into a bar. You have to admit that’s a pretty great opening line. You’re thinking, “Great, Kevin’s gonna tell us a joke, and it’s probably got something to do with an Acme anvil falling on somebody’s head and maybe Zappa says something like “What’s the […]

In case of accident, wear clean underwear
Did your Mom ever tell you to wear clean underwear in case you got into an accident? Mine did. Which for those of you who know me, this probably explains a lot. So, when you stop judging, I can tell you that as far as I can figure out, the reason for this fixation on […]

Do you have a complicated relationship with heavy metal and classical music?
I go walking everyday. Well, almost everyday. I go everyday except those days when it’s incredibly freaking butt-numbing cold outside. But, thanks to global warming, we haven’t had many of those this year, so I go everyday. That didn’t really come out right, and the checkout guy at Trader Joe’s and I agreed that we […]

Seriously, what the hell is this?
Look, when I screw up, I admit it. At least most of the time, but I’m still not taking the blame for that thing we agreed we would never talk about. It was like that when I got there. Don’t like to read? Victoria reads this email to you. The big bold headline on the […]

I wanna tell you a secret
It’s new year. Yep, that’s an excellent example of lazy writing, cuz honestly, who the hell doesn’t know it’s a new year? I mean, it’s hardy even new anymore, and it certainly doesn’t have any of that new year smell left. If it’s a surprise to you that it’s a new year… just keep reading […]

NOT your end-of-the-year wrap up
My dear friend Emily writes a beautiful end-of-the-year letter every year. It sums up her journey of the past 12 months. Fun events. Accomplishments big and small, as well as some of the painful moments. It’s sweet, poignant and beautiful. You’re not gonna get that here today. I honestly can’t remember what I had for […]

Are there festive holiday traditions in Wonderland ????
Still stuffed from all your holiday leftovers. Still nursing that sore shoulder from when you lost the arm wrestling match with Uncle Billy for the last piece of pumpkin pie (he totally cheated)?
