Did you actually check us out?

Welcome, welcome, welcome! If you are here because you not only READ the article about us, but actually LOOKED UP the link they included in the depths of the 4th column, then we would like to take this special chance to salute you. You're witty, you're charming, devastatingly attractive AND intelligent, and we are tickled pink (and blue and orange and yellow and purple) that you are here. So, please, dive on in, comment deeply, flame us liberally (if that's your inclination), this is your playground. And if you're inspired by what you read here, join us! If you're a student, e-mail your article to any of our devastatingly attractive editors. If you don't want to actually write for us, you can still send us blog entries. If you're a playboy millionaire wishing to preserve your anonymity, message the administrator of the official Kindling Facebook group and we'd be more than happy to put it up for you with any pseudonym you'd like.

Want to know more about what the blog is about and why we write in it? Well, we could give you some cliched B.S. about how we just have TOO MANY IDEAS for our thrice-yearly issue and the enormous profusion of time-dependent jokes (V-day is coming up!) and such, but the truth is much deeper and more complicated. In fact, it's almost exactly what has already been described for the webcomic Sinfest:
" I have discovered a way to live life in a state of perpetual orgasmic ecstasy, unbothered by the cruel vagaries of life. It's perfectly legal, no drugs involved, no crazy meditation regimen, no change in diet or beliefs or lifestyle. It's healthy, no side effects, no hangover, just pure bliss round the clock, 24/7. Problem is, I can't articulate the secret method in words. There's no verbal way to demonstrate how I've achieved this state. As much as I'd like to disclose the mystery to you all it resists all known forms of communication. Except one. The comic strip."

Only Kindlingers know that "I" is supposed to be "we" and when he said "comic strip" he really meant "blog." THIS blog. Welcome.... and keep reading.
