I think the challenge should be that you not only drink the strawberry wine without hurling, but can then say "eat five sheets of toilet paper while discussing the political situation in Nepal" without error.
Again, this is now my favorite show. And I'm happy to know Hank's name. And how the hell old was the computer in your video, anyhow?
VIVE LA TEAM PAM!!! VIVE LA TEAM JIM AND PAM!!! VIVE LA TEAM JAM!!!
Now that that's cleared up for Rob's benefit, I would just like to say, Wow. I am greatly intruiged by this. I think it's hilarious. Also, it will force you to be more consistant with your updates. This is a good thing, so long as it doesn't take you away from writing a new book.
Also, I have now watched the vlog twice, and have managed to place your voice. No, I don't know you from the radio. You sound just like Rainn Wilson, aka Dwight K. Shrute on 'The Office.' Please don't take that in a bad way. You could sound like a lot worse people.
Has anyone ever told you that, together, you sort of look like The Proclaimers? Any chance you'd be willing to give us a little "500 Miles?" I don't think you should be allowed to resemble The Proclaimers if you won't at least favor us with a song.
Computer in video is Apple IIe with dual floppy drives... running proudly at 1 Megaherts. We gave ours away and immediately regretted it. Bought this on for $70 on ebay... Hank and John can play Choplifter on it during their visits.
Hank is definitely dorky enough to know about Digg and their new podcast system. It's very well done. Since I'm away from home (in Tahoe), I haven't had a chance to set up the RSS feed for BH 2.0. But it's on the way.
I have a story up on Digg right now actually Wal-Mart Going Solar. I love Digg, and it's always exciting when a story I write gets up there. Very exciting in a very dorky way I suppose.
P.S. Oooooo...choplifter, though it does take a half an hour to install the joystick. John and I had a lot of good times with that computer.
Does your computer also play 'pong?' isn't that the first video game ever invented where the tiny white ball goes back and forth over the net? we used to play that back in 1980-something. You're hilarious--
Last residence in the US with dial up internet? Ahaha when I lived at my mum's I thought we were the only ones in Australia with dial up internet. Of course she ended up getting faster internet right after I moved out...

John Green, I am speechless. Your commitment to utter ridiculousness knows no bounds. Can't wait to see what transpires...

Michael, for example.
Wouldn't it be odd if Hank DIDN'T have the toilet paper?
I love this. I love the concept and the execution. This is my new favorite show. My daily John (and Hank) Green fix while I wait for your next book.
I'm just curious to see what your parents thought of this. Are they just as "genius" as their sons? I'm sure it made for a nice holiday discussion.

Parents are bemused... but always supportive.

1. I wanna play choplifter! I wish I had the expertise to install that joystick.
2. There are many technological innovations to come, including better comments and/or a forum.

That computer reminds me of the one I grew up with: the mighty Eagle II.
Our cat peed on it. In it. In any case, that was the end of that.
I so love the vlog. Do you really have time for this?
Maggie! I love Maggie =)
I've never watched the Office, but I LOVE Rainn Wilson in Six Feet Under, and yeah, he does kind of sound like you.
You guys are the best. The people who are leaving these comments seem pretty awesome as well. This is very exciting.
Mmmmm... strawberry hill.
i'm sure someone already told you that communication isn't spelled correctly on the intro.
