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.
Why are you going to be in Washington D.C??? I live like 10 min. away from there....it's oretty sweet...i like it...i hope you do too and i hope you answer my question...
1) No! Not the Dog! 2) The eating-the-right-amount-of-points-and-still-not-getting-less-fat thing? Been there, sobbed over that. You have my empathy. It's low fat too. 3) The hair cut is cute. Me thinking I'm of the liking it. Bravo! 4) And now onto a weekend of no brotherhood-ness...sigh. Life is so unfair.
Are you going to be in DC for a specific purpose, or just to go? If you're doing something in which the public is invited- let us know, there are many of us (like me) who are within an hour of DC that would love to finally meet you!
The good thing about being in a different hemisphere is that I get to watch a new edition of this on a Saturday. And the bad thing usuallu is that I don't get another one 'til Tuesday. Thanks to Terryfic, I'm reminded of all the splendid previous editions that I can go back and rewatch - Hank riding the bulldog was my personal favourite. You are forcing me to review my previously dearly held belief that all currently alive Americans are stupid. But what the hell is a corn dog? And why would anyone with serious eco leanings eat one?
Corndogs are a wonderful thing and I am very sad that there are some people in the world who have never experienced them. The above description is accurate, though there are some excellent variations resulting for different types of dogs and different types of batters.
They aren't any more environmentally irresponsible than hamburgers and they taste much much better and have only slightly more fat.
A person with serious eco-leanings would eat one because they are frakking delicious.
1) For becoming internet entertainment by doing the video blog with your brother
2) For writing amazing books. I just finished Katherines about a month ago, and I was rather sad to have to return it to the library. I suppose I'll just HAVE to buy it. :)
As I remember several fine Shelby County establishments carry the esteemed Boone's Farm wines. I wonder why I remember buying but never much else (maybe puking).
Have just spoken to my old Indian Springs buddy who has recommended it highly once again, so I'll get off my ass, finally, today and go buy it. Oh, not the wine, the book about Alaska...
I hope Rebecca has pony rides and ice cream as part of her party, which I presume uses a lot of paper goods (and hence the title).
ReplyDeleteOh, and WOW -- Terryfic totally rocks. That was a most excellent sitcom trailer!
ReplyDeleteTerrifyc - great job!!!!! (don't have a YouTube account, so couldn't log in there)
ReplyDeleteJohn and Hank, thanks for another week's distractions from my real world

John, I think your face is certainly looking thinner. (even though it was never, ever fat)
ReplyDeleteAnd I think you've come up with another great title!

Sounds like the best book ever.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, if you google corn dog you get:
ReplyDelete"Corn dogs are hot dogs dipped in corn batter, deep fried and served on a stick."
They're pretty good, actually.
Corndogs are a wonderful thing and I am very sad that there are some people in the world who have never experienced them. The above description is accurate, though there are some excellent variations resulting for different types of dogs and different types of batters.

They even have tofu corndogs, for healthy eating!
ReplyDelete"they are frakking delicious"
ReplyDeleteHank watches Battlestar!
Just leavin' a comment of thanks for two reasons:
ReplyDelete1) For becoming internet entertainment by doing the video blog with your brother
2) For writing amazing books. I just finished Katherines about a month ago, and I was rather sad to have to return it to the library. I suppose I'll just HAVE to buy it. :)
