KEVINISMS / SMORTLER + SI

A little wisdom.
A lot of Kevin.

When Kevin turns a phrase, you never know where the metaphor is going to land. This is a growing collection of the lines that were simply too memorable to forget.

26 original quotes All the unexpected turns
Robotic Violet presenting a chocolate pecan cake with red cherries and a lit candle
Violet brought the cake. Kevin brought the comparisons.
