Happy birthday Brian Hines! Both Kevin and Brian are Pisces. Make what assumptions you will, astrologists.
Things that exist in the mind of all Hines brothers and likely few other sets of three people: the image of Zot!, Booyar, the landscape of Clapboard Ridge, They Might Be Giants as seen through a net at Toad’s Place in New Haven, The movie Batman as seen at the Palace Theater on Main Street Danbury, Outer Limits Comics, The Pembroke Panthers and Spite Magazine.
Canada + Cleveland + Connecticut = wryness off the muthaeffin charts!
Hines Xmas 2007 was a success. Booyar’s gift to Kevin was a DVD of the He-Man/She-Ra Christmas special, which apparently is the movie that Booyar’s family gathers to watch each holiday season.
Oh, who’s Booyar? Booyar is the last name (edited: Brian points out it was his first name) of some actual dirtbag kid that went to junior high with Hines Bros Kevin and Brian. He was in 9th grade for most of the time they were in junior high. Some years ago, Brian decided that Booyar and Kevin had been best friends and that indeed Booyar still missed Kevin. So Kevin started receiving birthday cards, emails and even pager messages from Booyar — none [...]
I just got this email from my brother Brian: “Booyar is not sure what to get Kevin.”
I responded: “Does Booyar want help thinking of things?”
He answered “Booyar will think of something.”
I still have no evidence that Brian is Booyar. If anyone has any ideas for gifts Booyar might offer, please let me know and I will ask Brian to pass on those ideas to Booyar.

Past Booyar gifts:
- A pack of Camels
- Home baked brownies, wrapped in foil
- A human skull piggy bank
- A sweatshirt with ironed on letters “Kevin -n- Booyar” spelled incorrectly, I believe
- A copy of the Canterbury Tales, with the inscription “My Favorite Book” — misspelled, with the e backwards
