I Heart Kid Strindberg

Tonight we got an email from the mother of this young man, appropriately named Grey. Apparently he decided to dress as our little buddies/internet sensations, Strindberg and Helium for the annual Halloween party at his Tae Kwan Do studio. He was so distressed that no one knew who he was, and that he didn’t win the costume contest, he spent the night sobbing himself to sleep. This prompted a Bewl-Flashback! Picture it. SF. The Castro. 2001. A woman in a fleece vest and $2 cat ears asks me, “What are you supposed to be?” I was a Back-From-the-Dead Stand Up Comedy Duo! And unlike you, Miss Cat-Girl Who Likes to Keep Her Core Warm, I actually thought about my costume. To Kid Strindberg and others like him I say, press on, lil’ weirdos, press on. Be your unique selves and don’t let those Tae-Kwan-Dorks get you down. You’re training a very important muscle. Yer noggin! Use it!
