Hey Brutalmoose. Thank you so much for the laughs over the years. When I first moved to the PNW, I was super lonely, and after long days at work, I found a ton of comfort in watching your videos.

(Side note: the love triangle drama between Chef Ian Brutalfoods, Ian McMystery, and Ian MacThrifty needs to be addressed.)

dear chef ian brutalfoods,
first of all i love your videos. this is going to sound odd maybe but i wanted to say that back when you were taking messages for the voicemail i had left one that i don't recall the exact details of but i remember immediately thinking it sounded somewhat unhinged/awkward and so i wanted to say: sorry for my unhinged/awkward message. if nothing comes to mind then please disregard. please have a wonderful rest of your day.

wow i love the retro vibes of your website ian (i mentally call you moosey but i feel like you might find that repulsive so is ian okay? mr moose? mooseman?) honestly the only reason im signing your guestbook is to bring me back to being 7 years old unleashed upon the internet with no supervision leaving strange guestbook comments on horse websites. love your content, been watching since at least 2018. thanks for vibing and then uploading it and letting us vibe with you. youre always good for a nice chill time. also sometimes i lurk in your twitch streams so thanks for doing that too!

hello ian "brutalmoose.com" ive been a big fan of your content for quite awhile, almost a decade (or more) ive loved almost every era of your content, from the classic video gaming videos to the travel blogs nothing has ever left me bored, i started watching you since i was around 7-8 years of age im now 18 which is pretty wild. anyways have a nice day! (even if you're not ian "brutalmoose.com")

Hi Ian! I love your vids & streams. Especially to have on in the background while I’m trying to motivate myself to do chores and other tasks. Your chillness is contagious! Please give lil MJ a chin scratch and a treat for me 🙂

Hello Ian/Brutal Moose I would love for you to play Spy Kids: The Underground Affair (Windows XP) I just found out about It would seem fun.

Greetings Mr. Ian Macmystery/Brutalfoods,

I have been a fan since 2018 and your videos have inspired me to start making my own videos! I also collect VHS tapes (especially blank tapes) and one of my most favorite oddities I found is a safety awareness tape called Safety 4 kids. I won’t say much about it since I don’t wanna spoil the weirdness of it but if you do want to check it out, a recording of it is on YouTube as well as its sequels!

Anyway, thank you so much for the laughs you’ve given me over the years and keep being the awesome person that you are!

Hi iAN,

Have you played Hypnospace Outlaw?

Anyway, here's a recent dream I had.

I have travelled to some alternate universe. I'm welcomed into the home of a family with two parents and at least two kids, a teenage daughter and a pre-teen son. They seem to accept the fact that I'm from a different universe and aren't bothered by me or my phone (which doesn't work here). The house looks like a mix of an old pioneer home and a house from the 80s/90s. There's an entryway, a living room with a fireplace, a separate room with a couch, kitchen, and bedrooms. The living room has a staircase in the middle of it that leads down somewhere underground. I live in this house for a few months.
At some point I learn that the year is 1793. This makes sense to me based on the style of the house and the lives of the family. But then I realize they have a TV in the couch room that looks like a CRT with a flat screen. I turn it on and see ads for shows similar to modern shows from my universe, but they look older. The daughter acts like this is normal, so I suppose that this universe took an alternate path of technological development.

uh oh stinky
