I'm a cypher, wrapped in an enigma, smothered in secret sauce. Also, my name is Kev and I own this here website.

Alright, I'm just a guy (though an admittedly awesome one at that -- oh, and humble) who likes to blog. Sarcasm, quick wit and gorilla dust are my tools of the trade. Feel free to browse my blog and follow me. It's okay. I won't call the cops. Click here if you'd like to write a guest blog for SKOS.

Conspiracies, Coupons and Addictions
February 17, 2009

A few quick news and notes from the land of SKOS. (Doesn’t that sound like a cool place to live? I should try selling time shares…make a few bucks.)

Undeniable Proof My Readers are Literate

Aside from the minor issue of me still waiting for all the winners to send me their mailing addresses (*cough* gianna *cough*), the book giveaway was an astounding success. Once I have received the addresses from all the winners (*cough* gianna *cough*), I’ll get the books shipped on out.

Of course, that’s not to say the book giveaway was without controversy. Two regulars, who both happened to come away empty handed, have claimed the giveaway was fixed. Josh went Oliver Stone on me and brought up the “C” word (conspiracy). Steve wondered aloud if I hand picked the winners, who just happen to all be female, so that I could “woo” them.

Pssssh, I say. Pssssh.

One of the five winners, Angie, is married. I have no idea of Gianna’s (*cough* send me your address *cough*) relationship status. Plus, with the exception of Josh and Steve and a small handful of others, most of my readers are female. It’s little wonder all five book giveaway winners were female — the odds are stacked in their favor!

Besides, fixing a book giveaway would be wrong.

I’m Thinkin’ Arby’s

Speaking of giveaways, the Arby’s coupon giveaway is going to end tomorrow at 5:00 PM EST. Yes, I arbitrarily picked this number out of a hat.

Thank you to all who have participated in the giveaway and attempted to decipher fact versus fiction in the Kev trivia game. However, several regularls have yet to participate. What’s up, guys? Too good for Arby’s? Or are you scared you might flunk the quiz?

Yep, I bet that’s it.

I will announce the winner on Thursday, along with the correct answers and how well everyone did.

And yes, whomever comes in last place will be teased. Just a little bit, though.

LOST is addicting, oh yes it is

I realize the rest of the world caught on to the LOST phenomenon several years ago, but I just started watching it last week. I’m watching Season One on DVD and I’m absolutely hooked.

Every episode is suspenseful. Every episode reveals something new and unexpected.

Locke’s dad stole one of his kidneys?

Kate is an outlaw??

Sawyer is farsighted???

I wish I could take off a solid week from work and watch every single episode.

There was no rhyme or reason to this post, but what are all of YOU addicted to lately. Consider this your very own 12-step program. Just leave a comment or two or ten.

Don't have a photo next to your name? Want one? They're called Avatars. No, it has nothing to do with that James Cameron movie. No, I don't know why they're called that. Look, do you want one or not? Gosh, you're difficult.
