For the FAQ:

It's been some time since we've had a hit from the Proclaimers. Are you, in fact, the Proclaimers, retired from music and making a go at internet stand-up?

Important FAQ question: Why is John's Wife "The Yeti".

Another important one to answer "Isn't commenting breaking the rules?"

Also "Doesn't the intro say 'communcation?'"

I thought I'd take care of all the obvious ones quickly

'Hey hey, ho ho, into Hank's pants we gotta go! Hey hey, ho ho, into Hank's pants we gotta go...poop.'

I think I actually love you.

Jan 2 B2.0 explains why John's wife is the Yeti.

and Hank I'm never going to bother you about having children. That's a deeply personal decision and timing is everything.

BTW, when are you going to get a real job?

Love,

Dad

Do you believe that your dad is correct in asking "When are you going to get a free job?" or am I possibly reopening an age old family argument?

(I'm sorry if I am)

Not so FAQ: How long is the hallway in your house?

The kids and I took a vote:
Poop: Yay! John's current hairdo: Noooooo!

 
At February 07, 2007 , Blogger CJ Omololu said...

Also, regarding the Yeti, there is a photo of her on this blog...yes there is. I won't say outright where it is, but I will refer you to the moment that John is notified via cell phone that he has just won the Printz Award...the first time.

"Having seen his poop, I can report that it looks exactly like bull shit."

LOL-worthy indeed!

sortofFAQ question:
why are there no pictures in John's so-called Picture Book of Everyone Poops in My Pants?

..& here I was looking forward to imaginative stick figures ):

Assuming that the FAQ is for folks at the Brotherhood 2.0 website, and that as the year progresses more will find you, the FAQ should probably include brief bios of Hank and John -- what sort of writing they do, websites, etc.

The W poop comment was very funny, although I was surprised that you didn't reprise the Al Gore comment from the carbon emissions post, wherein he shat gold (if I remember correctly).

Would you have more minutes if you dropped the intro?

 
At February 07, 2007 , Blogger Ellen said...

What a crock of shit this was! LOL

re: previous post, I forgot ;-)

but I suspect Hank inferred it.

so John, when are you going to get a real job? ;-)

Love,

Dad

Please answer in your FAQs, "What is 'Team Karen'?"

 
At February 07, 2007 , Blogger Little Willow said...

Who woulda thunk that book would be a protest piece? Wow. :)

FAQ:

Why would you offer your pants to Kirsten Dunst when Eliza Dushku is the coolest member of the BRING IT ON cast?

Should readers invest in Depends?

Why shouldn't one wax one's chin?

If your blog was a film, what would it be rated?

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop?

What would you do for a Klondike bar?

What if someone asks you a rhetorical question?

 
At February 07, 2007 , Anonymous Anonymous said...

FAQ Numero Uno!

What's the title of John's third book????????

 
At February 07, 2007 , Anonymous Anonymous said...

What is John's new book about?

and when will it be out in stores?

 
At February 07, 2007 , Blogger Angela said...

Only a Printz winner could make poop so politically-charged. ;)

 
At February 07, 2007 , Anonymous Anonymous said...

that was priceless.

i love reading the comments from Mom, Dad, the Yeti, etc.

 
At February 07, 2007 , Blogger Peter said...

HOLY CRAP that was funny.

Ok, that's weird. I was just thinking last night that you guys should make a FAQ.

Man, the bit about Obama's poop making you believe in America again, priceless.

 
At February 08, 2007 , Blogger milowent said...

the faq should certainly address:
1. why you are doing this.
2. how this vlog project will change the world.
3. how much money for product placement you are getting (i know the Everybody Poops syndicate is backing you)

 
At February 08, 2007 , Anonymous Anonymous said...

Stick to YA, John. You have not yet mastered the picture book format.

 
At February 08, 2007 , Blogger D said...

Important question: how do you guys keep a straight face while filming? Seriously.

 
At February 08, 2007 , Anonymous Anonymous said...

I think you guys must crack up a lot. I keep noticing cuts and blends of different footage. hehehe

Ah, this is my favorite show ever. And the running commentary by family and friends is just farking hilarious.

Cheers.

What was once the most important question of all: what is the meaning of life?

What is now the most important question of all: how can we defend ourselves against the terror of creepy baby dolls?

 
At February 08, 2007 , Blogger Lisa said...

Tell me, what happens if you appear in my dreams?

Should I be worried about that?

Love the brotherhood 2.0, it's really funny and tragic at times...

John, can you bring your camera to the coffee shop where you write with E.Lockhart and Maureen Johnson so we can see a day in the writing life of you three?

Hank, can we watch you work for an episode?

 
At February 08, 2007 , Blogger MotherReader said...

I have a question, but it's not a FAQ. John, are you going to the kidlit drink night on Friday? I've heard that you've attended before and I'm a little concerned because we both might show up there with the same haiku T-shirt.

For the FAQ, you definitely both need short bios.

I second the request to see a day in the life of both brothers at work! Coffee Shop Writing Time! EcoGeek Fabulousity! That'd be gold.
