Little Pisgah's Mountain. There is something about Pisgah's Mountain in an old hymn called O Day of Rest and Gladness, but I think they mean Big Pisgah's Mountain which is probably in the bible somewhere and not the one in NC. But wow, it's really pretty.
I gotta tell you, this is more fun than a barrel of monkeys, truly.
"Who has Maoist rebels anymore?"
Classic.
Oh man. A project or challenge? I don't know. I'll have to give that a little thought. Thanks for the shoutout though! Also, it'd be really cool if you named a character in your next book Jack after my firstborn. Just sayin'.
I have to go show this to my wife.
You guys are hi-fricken-larious.
John- I was thinking. Since you did not vote in 2000 (which for all we know, YOUR vote could have really changed the history of America... and the current political situation in Nepal), I think it should be your PERSONAL project in 2008 to make youngsters aware of the importance of voting. With the vblog this should come as no problem. Needless to say, voting in the upcoming election is just as important, if not more so for America, and you should be a primary facilitator. I'm talking vblogs, sandwich boards, tshirts. You name it.
Congrats to Peter, by the way!
you were in the neighborhood!
and i'm impressed with the whole toilet-paper eating attempt. (yeah, i'm easily amused.)
congrats to peter & family!
Building on what Liz said, perhaps you can actually wear a sandwich board while performing 500 Miles, and doing your happy dance.
This is still my favorite new "show" for 2007.
Please tell me that was stunt t.p.
Thanks for all the congrats, folks.
I finally got a few ideas.
My first thought was that I'd kind of like to see how the sausage is made, so to speak. I hope it's not too self-referential, but I'd love to see the process that both of you go through to actually produce one of these videoblogs. Video editing is kind of a mystery to me. I'd love to see a little bit.
My other thought was less a challenge and more of a project. I think it'd be interesting to know your top 3 or 4 favorite places that you've never lived. Maybe places you've visited, but not places you've live in. And the reasons why. For each of you.
Also, if one of you missed a day, it would be really funny if the guy who missed it had to shave off one eyebrow. Not both. One. That would be a hoot. How's that for incentive not to miss a day?
It's funny how much North Carolina looks a lot like the Ozarks. Just sayin'.
as Hank's wife, i have to shoot down the eyebrow shaving suggestion. that is not merely a punishment for the brother who misses vlogging for the day, but also for their loved ones (you know, sarah and i).
Yeah. You got a point there.
Didn't think of that. Sorry.
Maybe 5 minutes of making funny faces? Nothing (semi)permanent. But definitely in the public record and funny looking.
SPOILER ALERT
DO NOT READ AHEAD IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE 01/04 EPISODE OF "THE OFFICE"
WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING
Sorry about that, but I didn't want to be The Girl Who Ruined The Office for John Green, and I don't know anyone outside of my family who is so vehemently Team Pam, and I had to talk about tonight's episode somewhere.
Wasn't it wonderful but depressing to see Pam crying over Jim ? COULD KAREN BE ANY MORE EVIL? Or OBVIOUS? Dwight is so sweet, in a twisted way. And as stupid as it might be of Jan, I am interested in seeing how far the Jan/Michael relationship will go.
That's all. Have a good night!
As a mild criticism, some of us women, although unfortunately not a sweeping majority do not want to sleep with a man who doesn't vote.
Thus, I agree with Liz. You should encourage voting in the 2008 election, if not for the good of the world, then to save all those poor boys who could be benefitting from an intelligent, cosmopolitan woman's nether regions.
Has anyone else noticed that they spelled 'communication' wrong in the introduction?
Sorry, I just had to point that out.
Dude, have I seriously lived through years of friendship with you plus reading several dozen drafts of An Abundance of Katherines without knowing that your sister-in-law's name is actually Katherine? That changes everything.
It would be kind of like me writing a book called An Abundance of Katherines in a world where my brother had married his (now-ex) girlfriend Katherine. For what it's worth, I think that would be a worse world than our current one. Unless you voted for Al Gore in Florida 538 times in that world.
As far as recycling goes, it's mostly a sham (except for cans)! Don't feel bad. Watch Penn and Teller's show Bullshit. I think the recycling show was in the second season.
i think the greens are my favorite color.
i'm not going to lie - i haven't been very good about visiting sparks fly up recently.
you know, "doing it for the kids" has kind of gotten in the way. now i'm kind of hooked, though.
damn you both.
i'm wondering if the ole daley t-shirt can make an appearance. you know - for your old pal.
i have a new t-shirt for you
(well, i haven't actually bought it yet)
that i think you might like -
almost better.
let's just say it has a lot to do with the greatest neighborhood in the great united states of america.
Submit the project to The Colbert Report, boys.
Do it!
