  1. Geoff, although I never met Kevin, I can honestly say that his witticism will be sorely missed. These are hilarious and impossible to pick a favorite, as I openly laughed at everyone. I do think I stumbled onto something though, as I have been selling my poetry by the page rather than the yard. He was a genius!

  2. What a funny guy. I kind of want to follow him on the Twitter, despite the…y’know…lack of new content.
    I think my brothers know exactly how you must have felt having a brother like him.
