Welcome Dear Readers! I am so excited! As you may know, from time to time this blog takes it upon itself to attempt to cheer up American Literature’s most Gloomy Gus, Edgar Allan Poe. And in that light, I feel this blog is making a little progress. Check out Edgar Allan Poe’s new magazine!
WE can only hope, Dear Readers, that this his new positive attitude has staying power!
Until next time . . . I love you

Dear Readers! I’ve been away from my blog for four whole days! My kids visited, and we all whooped it up Vernon Style in a combination, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Spring Birthday, Memorial Day celebration! Gosh we had a good time! We figure it will hold us over until June when we’ll all get together again to celebrate National Accordion Month! (Can! Not! Wait!)
But Dear Readers, as you know, life isn’t all fun and games. No siree! Sometimes life is a serious business and as such, you have to get the most out of every single minute — which brings us to today’s topic:
What Color Is Your Parachute You Wish You Had Right Now?
Clear and Present Danger, Tell Me Something I Don’t Know Edition
Amy Vanderbilt’s Complete Book of Swinging Back and Fourth Etiquette
The Pit and Hey Lookee Me I’m the Pendulum
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Who Can’t Breath
Literally Lord of the Flies
The Agony and the Ecstasy Only Ixnay on the Ecstasyay
Ο Things to Do Before You Die, The Heavily Discounted Edition
And there you have it, Dear Readers! Now, I must admit, this post was a little weird even for me. I’m blaming it on too much cake while whooping it up with the family. I’m really going to have to watch it at next months National Accordion Celebration!
Until next time . . . I love you
Hello Dear Readers. As you will remember here at the blog, we like to pretend things. One of the things we like to pretend is that Al Gore loves Funyuns and hangs out with Leonardo DiCaprio. To that end, my brain, Peanuts, has come up with an idea for a magazine which my brain, Peanuts, and I think has a lot of potential.
Peanuts simply took the sports magazine, Golf Digest:
And combined it with a popular lifestyle magazine like Real Simple:
And there you have it Dear Reader. Al Gore in all his Funyun glory!
Until next time . . . I love you
Dear Readers. I love thumbing through magazines of every kind: old, new, big, little, digested, undigested. I’ve always thought it would be fun to start up a magazine of my own. So I put My Brain Peanuts to work on it, and, Dear Readers, I think you will agree that Peanuts came up with an idea for a magazine that has a lot of potential!
Peanuts simply took a prestigious magazine like the Smithsonian:
And combined it with a cutting-edge style magazine, such as Elle:
Of course no magazine is complete without a staff of writers. The vision of my brain, Peanuts is to have Sm Elle Magazine written by the most important, Über-sophisticated, magazine writers of the 21st Century. Here’s My Brain Peanuts’s fantasy writing staff for Sm Elle Magazine:
Lifestyle Editor:
Carreen La Leelee La Pew
Lifestyle Editor, Carreen, has been dramatically flitting to and fro between Paris and London ever since first learning how to flit at the tender age of three. In her travels, Carreen literally inhales cutting-edge lifestyle trends– and exhales them upon the very latest, cutting-edge version of her Apple Ipad.
When asked why, at such a young age, Carreen has made it to the pinnacle of magazine-writing sophistication, she explained in third person, “Carreen La Leelee La Pew his risen to the top by utilizing french words like brioche and chignon in every single sentence.
Food Critic
Owen Henry Charles Buckingworth, III
With a track record of not liking a single meal since 1994, Mr. Buckingworth’s taste in sophisticated cuisine — as well as his actual taste buds themselves — are so hard to please, he has only been actually full once in his life after a particularly well-done mac and cheese dinner his mother (of all people!) prepared for him when all the stars aligned on November 2, 1994 at 2:45 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
Owen Henry Charles Buckingworth, III credits his journalistic tendencies to his junior high school English teacher, Mr. Blump, who encouraged Buckingworth to enter an International Punctuation Contest, and Buckingworth took home the Winner’s Trophy — by accident — but still!
Health and Beauty Editor
Carla Rothchild-Doink
For such an important and influential writer in the field of health and beauty, Carla Rothchild-Doink believes in keeping a low profile. Literally. Consequently Ms. Rothchild-Doink has never been photographed standing up.
“One’s profile is the side-view of what a person looks like from the side.” Ms. Rothchild-Doink is fond of saying and goes so far as to call this her “signature saying.”
In addition to dedicating her life to eating healthy foods, getting enough exercise, and brushing her hair a 100 times before going to bed, Carla Rothchild-Doink can be found on her days off, crawling on her hands and knees in the ocean thus keeping her hands and knees as soft as, but a little more puckered than, a baby’s.
Well, there you have it, Dear Readers! My brain, Peanuts, fantasy magazine!
Until next time . . . I love you
