Happy Birthday Bree!

It was my sister's birthday today so happy birthday to her! Even though you have a tendency to take forever to get my birthday gifts. No seriously, Bree's gift for my birthday last year just arrived. Either the postal office hates her or she doesn't consider me important enough to do these things properly.

MEANWHILE, I on the other hand have her gifts ready. Well one of them is going to be late but I can't help that. Plus, at least I have some of your gifts ready weeks if not months beforehand.

I know Bree will never read this blogpost (because virtually no one I know in real life knows that I even have a blog) but I hope that somehow she feels guilt tripped. Because I'm that awesome of a brother.


That's right, I'm awesome.

I think I only have one follower who is familiar with MS Paint Adventures. So I don't expect anyone else to recognize the intentionally horrible companion webcomic: Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff. I don't know how much work was put into this monstrosity to have it look so bad.

In fact, it was so bad, they released a hardcover book. Which also had a lot of work put into it to make it intentionally bad. You can purchase on Topatoco if you so desire. Which is what I did for my sister.

They even made a commercial for it:

I have no idea how they got the scratch and sniff part to work. Also, it smells disgusting.

Another thing that my sister had a fascination for were these miniature food items. They're kind of a fad in Japan I think at the moment. What you do is you take the various powders, add water, and with a little work you too can create tiny versions of real food.

Some of them actually taste like the food they're supposed to replicate (e.g. curry and rice or egg omelets) but the sushi ones I got for my sister taste pretty gross. Maybe I'll order her some of the other ones in the future.

There's a guy on Youtube who records himself making these things. Below is one of the sushi kits I got for Bree:


Last but not least, remember the high quality resin ponies I got for Theresa way back when? This time I got something for Bree. There was a fan comic of her favorite pony so there, ordered her a  custom figurine of Woona.

It's scary how popular the creator has become. If you don't order within the first 30 seconds that commissions open up, you won't get a slot. And because it takes her months to finish each set of commissions you're going to have to wait for a while.

Which is also why this is the present that Bree is going to have to wait for. Too bad. At least I gave you part of your gift on time.

 For the record, my sister has terrible taste in ponies.

So happy birthday Bree. You're getting old now, just like me.

  2. She has awesome taste in ponies, but it could be better. Still you're a pretty cool brother to get all that stuff for her. Happy birthday to her, and I share your pain at being forgotten on birthdays. Last year one of my sisters genuinely got me nothing, and last Christmas the other one only gave me two of the three presents she got me. What's worse is the other one is still in her house, in her cupboard. I presume I'll get it this Christmas.

  3. Man that MS Paint Adventures actually rings a bell with me for some reason, it sounds like it's the kind of thing that's right up my avenue regardless. Happy birthday to your sister too, that's incredible that she is that late with gifts that yours is just coming now, a whole year later on haha, ah well though, you guys love each other all the same.

  4. That Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff is totally nonsensical to the point that it's amusing. It's like those terribad movies that are hilarious because they're awful.

    Thanks for linking me to that site too. I'm on, like, page 80 :l

  7. Yess, the SBaHJ book. It's seems so amazing, but I don't think I'm worthy the amazing stonk coming off of those scratch n sniff stickers.

  12. A very happy birthday to your sister!

  13. No one in real life knows about our blog either, but that's because we wouldn't be able to look them in the eyes again. Still somehow they find us. As long as my mom doesn't know about it, though, that's all that matters.

    And that follower is us, right? Because I think it goes without saying that we're very familiar with MS Paint Adventures, and I'm not talking about our stupid little comics.

  14. I envy Bree. One of my brothers is a walking ad for Preparation H. The other is his hand puppet. I haven't spoken to either one in years.
