A daily blog by author John Green, winner of the 2006 Michael L. Printz Award for his debut work of fiction, "Looking for Alaska."
John's second novel, "An Abundance of Katherines," is now available at Amazon.com.
Seriously, you and John are totally awesome. Perhaps maybe saying the "i'll eat five pieces of toliet paper.." five times fast. Maybe that would make it harder! Anyway, love the blog. Keep it up.
I'm worried that Brotherhood 2.0 is only during the week and not accounted for on the weekends. Someone tell me it isn't so. I'm beginning to look forward to this ALMOST as much as new episodes of The Office.
Speaking of The Office. John Green- I believe we need a detailed analysis of your predictions/final thoughts of last night's episode.
Your worries are well founded. Sorry to say, we're only a five times a week show, so you're going to have to wait until Monday for John Green's next episode. I can hardly wait myself.
So, the intro says, "365 days of textless communication..." Or, um, communcation. But you're only going to post on business days. Which means, like, 73 weeks of textless communcation, not counting holidays.
OK semantically, it is unclear whether we are lying to you or not. The project is in fact 365 days long. We just won't be communcating this way every single one of those 365 days.
It's in the ground rules that we give eachother weekends of. So,technically it is 365 days of textless communcation, it's just not 365 days of video blog communcation.
@Chuck: Wow! Excellent spot. I almost went through and explained each one of those pieces of paper that were taped together, but, yeah, one of them was a flier from a Mr T. Experience show I went to in St Petersburg like six years ago. I miss punk rock shows :-/
John Green and Dr. Frank are pretty good friends these days, both of them being YA authors and all. How fabulous is that?
Hank, I love Mental Floss. You're too cool for reading it. I think I still have posters and stuff from college, too. They're probably just a dusty fire hazard in my parents' attic, though, by now.
hmm, i see no need to choose sides here. i think we can all agree that both john & hank are hilarious and be grateful for all the chaos and laughter and crimes against normalcy that this new year will bring. -molly

ReplyDeleteI love this idea! And who better to carry it out than the Greens?
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Peter and family. (Btw: did you say 'Ozarks?' Where are you from?)
What if, when a day is missed, the offender had to do the next blog with his underwear over his shorts or wearing lipstick/other makeup? Just an idea.

That's a darn lot of communcation.

(Not that I'm complaining!)

And yes, I eat my corndogs dry...
I don't think wearing make-up is much of a punishment for Hank, but I know his parents really don't like it =P
ReplyDeleteJohn Green in lipstick, I can't really imagine...
yeah! mtx!

ReplyDeleteHank is the best! Did you see how he totally took on that challenge? Where John Green stumbles, Hank Green runs on. Will John Green EVER catch up?
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to see how he could at this point.
GO HANK!
Nicely done! The other food that works well for absorbing alcohol and preventing yarpage is actually Beef-a-roni. In case you ever want to mix it up.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh. don't encourage him ... no beefaroni. you hear me hank?! no beefaroni!!
ReplyDeleteBeefaroni? Ugh. So, yeah, the wife and family and I live in Fayetteville, Arkansas. It's a lovely place. I love the Ozarks.
ReplyDeleteAnd Hank, I'm amazed by your leet corndog skills. Simply amazed.
Makes me wonder what other hidden talents you guys have.
ReplyDeleteAnd what other ways you're different and alike.
Hank, you are actually funnier than John! I can't wait to read your book!
ReplyDeletehmm, i see no need to choose sides here. i think we can all agree that both john & hank are hilarious and be grateful for all the chaos and laughter and crimes against normalcy that this new year will bring.
