Both Hank's book and my baby were due out today. I've just finished AART in one sitting, but I haven't gone in to labour. I think what I'm trying to say is, well done Hank, the book is excellent, and you've won in the due-out-September-25th competition
Depending on where you are in the world, you've got some time left! Regardless, I'm hoping for a happy and healthy baby, and a speedy but safe and risk-free delivery for you, Holly. :) dftba.
They are indeed purple But one thing you've missed The concept of 'purple' Didn't always exist Some cultures lack names For colors you see Hence good old Homer And his "wine-dark sea" A usage so quaint A phrasing so old For verses of romance Is sheer fucking gold So roses are red Violets were once called blue I'm hugely pedantic But what else is new?
Ok so I spent the better part of today reading An Absolutely Remarkable Thing and just finished. I will be honest. Nearly 100% of the reason I preordered the book and read it was because it was written by Hank and I just wanted to read his first book. I actually had little expectation of it being something I would like anywhere near as much as I do. I consume media almost constantly. Movies, books, shows, and songs. I do it because, as I've found, 99 percent is enjoyable garbage that I can't consume to no end, but every great once in a while I find something that I am completely convinced is Art. Not some piece of art. But Art. Something that I consume and find true and absolute beauty in. This book is one of those things. I was absolutely captured from beginning to end. The amount that I related to and the thought that this book invoked is astonishing. I felt so many emotions as I listened(audible) and felt them strongly. It is a true work of art that offers such a current, vivid, and insightful view of not only fame but the way that human discourse and communication in our world works. I just want to thank Hank for the experience.
Chaitanya Singh - it's just a really popular rhyming poem that you can add onto the last words, roses are red, violets are blue..... And then you add on the last two lines
Equally sloppy: Roses are red Wizards play Quidditch Cheers to you Hank Raise a glass of Glenfiddich! (it rhymes unless you're familiar with Scotch whisky distillers)
I used to watch you and Hank back in 2007 when I was 12(going on 13) and freshly in Jr. High. You guys helped me through so much, showing me a community that was unbelievably supportive and wonderful. I am, and will always be a Nerdfighter. From needfightaria of course. After 2010 I stopped watching, due to my obligatory rebellious high school days/dark segment of my life. During that time I was youtubeless and very depressed. In early 2013 after multiple heartaches( 2 family deaths, and a breakup) I found my way back into TH-cam, reconnecting with all the old(and new) loves of TH-cam. I regrettingly forgot about the vlogbrothers, until about last year. Anyways, just wanted to say I’m back and I’m so happy to be a part of this community again. John as always, great video. Hank, I’ll see you next time!
Wow.... I think you're the first person I've come across who has almost the exact same timeline as me :-p Except our ages/reasoning was different. TH-cam was my world when I was 17/18 in 2008, right up until early 2011 when I went travelling long term... & thus didn't touch it until the very tail end of 2013 when I came back (just dipping my toes back in at first, coming back more so in 2015 although with not quite as much vigar, now that I had a life :-p Plus they removed the video reply function, & were doing that thing where you needed a Google plus account to comment)... Anyway, likewise initially went straight to re-adding my main old faves... Fortunately for me though, VlogBrothers were pretty much top of the list, so they didn't get forgotten 😊❤ Seems like we did well though... all that abuse stuff that went down seems to have been in that window we were away... So TH-cam wasn't tainted for us like it was for some 😊 All the best Meg, thanks for that mini trip down memory lane... Its nice to hear another person with a similar timeline (started 2007/08, left 2010/11, returned 2013). Hope life is treating you nicely 😊❤ Emma from Australia.
I live in Iran and therefore can’t purchase Hank’s book but my best friend’s sister who is currently in the U.S. kindly preordered it for me 2 days ago and OMG I’M GONNA HAPPY DANCE FOREVER AAAAH
Crying out of nothing but gratitude is one of the best feelings. Also, crying out of nothing but laughter at Boot Too Big jokes, which this video made me do.
I still think of “Are you my mummy?” every time I see a gas mask. If you don’t you’re either too young or your Awesome hasn’t evolved to its final form yet.
I read the entire book in one sitting didn't set it down once not even to eat dinner, pee or check my phone. My phone went of multiple times and I just ignored it. I also didn't eat dinner till after 9pm and was definitely holding my pee for the last hour of reading, but I just couldn't stop. It was so amazing. Absolutely remarkable. So excited to be seeing you both in Kansas city!
I found another nerdfighter at my University English course, and it was awesome, except I was giving a talk when I noticed the rainbow pizza John shirt on my classmate. It was very hard to focus on the life and personality of Samuel Johnson, because I had to suppress the urge to squeal "dftba!" to her.
The jokes reminded me of my favorite line from Tim Minchin's 9 minute beat poem(Storm), which is a play on a line from Shakespeare's King John "To gild refined gold, to paint the lily, to throw perfume on the violet is just effing silly."
Seeing how proud John is of Hank is sibling goals. Even though I've never met either of you, when I see all these tweets, instagram posts, and youtube videos of how proud John is, I get super emotional and happy to see it. The amount you guys support each other as brothers, should be how we support our friends and family in the things we do. It's so great to see and gives me hope.
I’m so jealous, I never get the “exclusive” editions of anything! I’m still incredibly excited to get my signed addition but I wish it would have a hankler fish.
These poems really made me happy! I appreciate because today when I woke up at 5.30am to go to work, I got a devastating e-mail saying that An Absolutely Remarkable Thing could not be shipped to me (I live in Chile) because, basically, I have no money. I thought I had money when I pre-ordered it, then I realized payment is made on the actual day that is Sept. 25th, but like Roses are red, John and Hank are splendidly uncanny, I wanted to read Hank's book, but today, I have no money CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR FIRST BOOK, HANK! Kudos to John for being the best brother Hank could have.
On the topic of sew, Though I hate to sound formal, It's an interesting word 'cus it's etymology's abnormal But if you need a word to rhyme with sew, Might I suggest: Flow, go, no, so or sow?
My favorite boottoobig post is the one that starts with "roses are red, the earth is flat," and then proceeds to say the entire script of the Bee Movie, ending with "I virtually had no rehearsal for that."
Roses are red, DFTBA's my motto, See you guys in 3 days (!!) in Chicago!! And also congratulations, Hank - the Nerdfighter community is so proud of you! :)
Ordered it online this past weekend and was obscenely delighted to see the package on my dining table when I got back from work. Seeing all of Hank's videos describing the process of writing and publishing the book made me feel like I was getting to share in the joy of his accomplishment, and it made the purchase feel that much more meaningful.
"Hank, you DID IT!" This is part of why I love Vlogbrothers: John and Hank celebrate each other's accomplishments without any sense of envy, malice, comparison...it's just two brothers giving each other a virtual high-five. Long live Vlogbrothers!
As someone who is currently having some panic about going alone into the city for the tour tonight (I've done it a few times before, including for the Turtles tour, but the build up never gets less harrowing) I really really needed this. Thank you John! (On a related side note I also wanted to thank you for including those little messages at the tour last year, especially for the "To Those Who Came Alone" message. As someone who had indeed come alone and who had a minor panic attack during the process, I came close to crying happy tears right before the show. Nerdfighteria is constantly helping me jump milestones I didn't know I was capable of, like driving to Boston by myself for Nerdcon, and that little bit recognition meant the world to me. Since then I've gotten much better at navigating NYC on my own and I owe a lot of it to you and to the amazing community you and Hank have created. So for your message and for helping me find my courage, thank you
The book is amazing. I’ve had it out of the box from amazon for maybe four hours, and aside from 30 minutes devoted to eating dinner with my family, I haven’t put it down. Good job, Hank.
CONGRATULATIONS, HANK! I think it's so amazing how you support each other and appreciate each other! I also preordered the book and it also arrived but we weren't home. My neighbours have my book now and they didn't come home yet :( I'm too excited to read this book!
I love the way in which you celebrate each other’s accomplishments. I’m engrossed in An Absolutely Remarkable Thing. I feel like this shows us part of Hank’s soul and life in the same way Turtles All the Way Down showed us another side of John. Love both you guys. ❤️
You know how the best part of Bake Off is how everyone is really just in a competition with their own self and they still will go out of their way to help the other competitors? That’s what vlog brothers feels like. There aren’t many places that give me a sense of good feeling but this is one of them.
There's something really calming for me about vlogbrothers videos filmed in hotel rooms? I don't know why, it just feels calm, and familiar and good. Also! I just got hanks book, and it's very pretty and I'm excited to read it! Congrats hank!
Got it on audible. So glad it came out at the same time as the physical boot. It got me through my day. Will listen to it again tomorrow so much to think about after reading!!!
honestly john and hank's relationship at least like what we get to see through vlog brothers is sincerely #sibling goals, like i love my sister a lot but i feel like we could def work on being better siblings for eachother
Roses are red, Some poems are sung. Why didn't my pre-order Come on day one? This is the second time Indigo has screwed me on this (last time being for Turtles). Guess I won't be pre-ordering from them anymore, since they can't see fit to fill pre-orders before their own shelves, defeating the entire purpose of pre-ordering. I'll have to find some other way to support you guys when your books are coming out.
Considering that both of you are at least 25 years older than me, the fact that I feel so INCREDIBLY PROUD OF YOU when you achieve something like this is for me quite strange. I think it has to do with the amount of time I've been in this community now, around five years, that has made me believe somehow that I know you guys, even though I don't. Thanks for the amazing group of people that you help reunite day by day, and CONGRATULATIONS HANK ON THE BOOOKKKK!!!!!!!! kisses from Argentina 🇦🇷💙
I wish I could come, tonight, but I have class. Ironically, it's a class in which I'm writing something that I wish to exist in the world (advanced playwriting). Congratulations, Hank, and I'll be procrastinating a lot by reading your book, this semester!
This was positively delightful. I find it interesting that the specific "roses are red" format is so calming for you, because I get the same feeling from limericks. Like you said, something about the meter is just really soothing to me.
Looks like it is time for me to look that up, and maybe to check for typoes a little more carefully. I was looking at the description when I typed it too. 🤦♀️I guess I'm too dependent on the little red lines. Another thing to look up when I'm trying to procrastinate. :P
He did do it! I'm in the middle of reading and I am so into it. I have no freaking clue what is happening next and I'm just loving every second of it. Best wishes from Germany
Yay you mentioned FAART! Come join us! There are lots of Carls, Nerdfighters, and fun! Hank Green Is Awesome John Green Is Too The FAART server is open to you.
This is a flawless blend of sincere brotherly support and ridiculous dad jokes that don’t make sense sometimes but are still hilarious. And thank you for mentioning Tuataria! As a member myself, I quite enjoy the space so for anyone wondering about it or nervous to join... I promise we’re super nice. :) CONGRATULATIONS HANK AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
I have been watching your videos for many years and this is either my first, or second comment on the vlogbrothers TH-cam channel. Anyway, as a conflicted person in my mid 20’s, I just wanna thank you and Hank.
Roses are red,
Nerdfighting's fun,
Now both Greens are "the author one"

Pure Gold.
+++ 🤣

I sometimes recite "Roses are red, college is long, decisions, decisions, all of them wrong." to myself when I did something dumb.

That's like my quoting one of my lab supervisors "Remember kids: fire... is hot!" whenever I burn my fingers on something stupidly.

I had seen it as a meme first, but yes and yes ^^
Both Hank's book and my baby were due out today. I've just finished AART in one sitting, but I haven't gone in to labour. I think what I'm trying to say is, well done Hank, the book is excellent, and you've won in the due-out-September-25th competition
Wishing you and baby well!! -John

+ here's to a happy, health baby and a speedy delivery.

Depending on where you are in the world, you've got some time left! Regardless, I'm hoping for a happy and healthy baby, and a speedy but safe and risk-free delivery for you, Holly. :) dftba.
Roses are red
Some crows are ravens
I was surprised
When I saw John clean-shaven
THAT'S what it was
Roses are red,
Concrete is grey;
As they say in my home town:
DFTBA!
this is my favorite one
astra haze Thank you!
They are indeed purple
But one thing you've missed
The concept of 'purple'
Didn't always exist
Some cultures lack names
For colors you see
Hence good old Homer
And his "wine-dark sea"
A usage so quaint
A phrasing so old
For verses of romance
Is sheer fucking gold
So roses are red
Violets were once called blue
I'm hugely pedantic
But what else is new?
MelodyDrake spectacular
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Because nothing fucking rhymes with purple.
+
Pinoghri yess
Pinoghri I’m not sure who’s poem I’m more in love with!
Violets are blue,
Hank Green is bae,
An Absolutely Remarkable Thing is out TODAY!
+
+
+
+
The most amazing poem!
Roses are red
Harry ain’t a liar
Dumbledore said calmly,
“DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE?!”
AWE YEAH!!!!
Hahahahahaha amen
Ahhah that's good
DID YE PUT YER NAME IN THE GAWBLET OF FYAH!!!!
Roses are red
John Green can't sing
I can't wait to read An Absolutely Remarkable Thing
+
+
+
meanie :c
I laughed very loud in a very quiet library at the goth mob joke.
That's the one that I can't get over. I laugh every time I think about it. -John
what is it a reference to?
the gas masks they're wearing for aesthetic reasons (becoming surprisingly functional in the instance of a gas leak)
That's my favourite one of all time. Gets me every time, too.
+
IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE FACT HIS KIDS WATCH THE VIDEOS NOW?!? HAVE THEY GOTTEN THAT OLD?!? HAVE I GOTTEN THAT OLD?!?!
I had the same thought! I was freaking out the whole video!!!
Yes, you have gotten old enough to watch the vlogbrothers. Gratz! Welcome!
Roses are red
Violets are great
Laughter breaks out
At 1:48
NintendoCapriSun +
Genius!
This is completely unrelated but I remember watching some of your let's plays like 10 years ago. Just brought a bunch of memories flooding back 😁
+
+
Okay but John you had the perfect opportunity for this:
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Hank's book has a Discord,
Link in the dooblydo.
Roses are red,
Birds sometimes fly,
John's brotherly support makes me wanna cry

Uh guys, I don't think I understand this Roses are red poem
Can someone explain please?
Chaitanya Singh - it's just a really popular rhyming poem that you can add onto the last words, roses are red, violets are blue..... And then you add on the last two lines
Violets are blue
Or that's how they're seen
I can't wait to read this book by Hank Green :)

Roses are red
Wizards play Quidditch
Cheers to you Hank
You finally did it!
(It's a bad rhyme, I know.)

Equally sloppy:
Roses are red
Wizards play Quidditch
Cheers to you Hank
Raise a glass of Glenfiddich!
(it rhymes unless you're familiar with Scotch whisky distillers)
+Dave Hogue
Just wondering how you pronounce Glenfiddich? I read it with a k sound at the end, am I right?
+@@stardust86x Yeah, I suppose.
Ammalyrical basically.
Roses are red
The "k" sound compares
It's a little softer in Scots English
But now I'm just splitting hairs.
I related the most with "life's a party, and I'm the piñata"😂

Roses are red
Nerdfighters are awesome
Less than 24 hours
I’ll see you in Boston!!!!
I'm so jealous! Have a great time!
It was so great!! Just got home!
Also available on Audible, in case, like me, your ears have more time to spare than your eyes.
Yes! I've got credits, too!
I live in Iran and therefore can’t purchase Hank’s book but my best friend’s sister who is currently in the U.S. kindly preordered it for me 2 days ago and OMG I’M GONNA HAPPY DANCE FOREVER AAAAH
Do the Happy Dance!
Shrooblord will do!!
Roses are red,
It’s hot as hell,
The mitochondria is...
The powerhouse of the cell
Roses are red,
I’m making sticky dough,
This may yet be my all-time favourite vlogbrothers video
Roses are red,
Church bells go ding,
I can’t wait to read Hank’s Remarkable Thing
Roses are red
I’m afraid of bees
I’ve preordered AART
But I live overseas 😪
Bees are the best
They're simply their knees
But to each their own
I don't like mush'peas
Roses are red.
My name is Dave.
This poem makes no sense
Microwave.
😂😂❤
It dawned on me today that Hank has worked on this book for as long as I've been a nerdfighter. That kind of blows my mind. Congrats, Hank!
Crying out of nothing but gratitude is one of the best feelings. Also, crying out of nothing but laughter at Boot Too Big jokes, which this video made me do.
Your kids watch vlogbrothers??? I wanna know what they think
They mostly like Hank. -John
@@vlogbrothers everyone loves Hank. Hank is cool.
Uncles are ALWAYS cooler than dads. So, Orin will prefer you.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess they think thoughts. lol. can I be an honorary dad for that joke?
Roses are red,
They're also pink.
You wanna know what the Green children think?
I still think of “Are you my mummy?” every time I see a gas mask. If you don’t you’re either too young or your Awesome hasn’t evolved to its final form yet.
That episode apparently aired over 13 years ago. Babies born on that day could now see all of the Harry Potter movies in theaters.
marie wikiwaka oof
Thanks, now I feel old

#dontlietoyourchildren, it can turn out real bad
Dave better not come out with a book anytime soon cuz I still haven't found time to read Turtles All The Way Down yet
It's an old vlogbrothers reference, but it checks out. +
I read the entire book in one sitting didn't set it down once not even to eat dinner, pee or check my phone. My phone went of multiple times and I just ignored it. I also didn't eat dinner till after 9pm and was definitely holding my pee for the last hour of reading, but I just couldn't stop. It was so amazing. Absolutely remarkable. So excited to be seeing you both in Kansas city!

I think you could have gotten away with closing out your presentation with a quick slip-o'-the-DFTBA as your final words.
Roses are red,
Trees can be sappy,
This made me so inexplicably happy.
roses are red
there is no money in the bank
I am so incredeblty happy for Hank
So... Hank's bank heist was a success then?
The jokes reminded me of my favorite line from Tim Minchin's 9 minute beat poem(Storm), which is a play on a line from Shakespeare's King John "To gild refined gold, to paint the lily, to throw perfume on the violet is just effing silly."
Roses are red
Your achievement is laudible
I'm not reading your book
I'm listening on Audible
Violets are blue,
Hank and John are Green,
I m actually yelling
to my soulless screen!
Congraaaaaatsssss Hank!!!
Roses are red
We don’t use kilometers
Florida man eats
Entire thermometer
My favorite valentine:
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
All my base are belong to you.
Awwwwww that's adorable!!
brilliant!
THIS takes me back..
It could've been so cool:
Roses are red
Also they're flowers
I'll see you on Friday
And in a few hours
That would've been perfect!
Seeing how proud John is of Hank is sibling goals. Even though I've never met either of you, when I see all these tweets, instagram posts, and youtube videos of how proud John is, I get super emotional and happy to see it. The amount you guys support each other as brothers, should be how we support our friends and family in the things we do. It's so great to see and gives me hope.
I just got mine and it has a hankler fish! I can’t wait to start reading it!
I’m so jealous, I never get the “exclusive” editions of anything! I’m still incredibly excited to get my signed addition but I wish it would have a hankler fish.
Moira H this was my first “exclusive” edition of any thing. I have always just got j scribbles I am so happy
Do you know if there are signed editions in the UK aswell?
Aaaaaah!!
A year later and I’m still excited that my copy of Turtles all the way Down has a hankler fish!
Roses are red
and this poem is lame
but "Invincible Moose"
is an awesome band name.
I agree, that's a great band name (and a good poem too)
Roses are red
Turtles are Down
An Absolutely Remarkable Thing is out on the town!!
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Hank is green
and John is too.
That was terrible. Sorry.
Pre-ordered the signed edition couple weeks ago, just waiting for it to arrive ⌚
Me too!
Me three!
Me four! Suposed to get on the 10/10 - but then it will also need to go through mail redirection too 😧
These poems really made me happy! I appreciate because today when I woke up at 5.30am to go to work, I got a devastating e-mail saying that An Absolutely Remarkable Thing could not be shipped to me (I live in Chile) because, basically, I have no money. I thought I had money when I pre-ordered it, then I realized payment is made on the actual day that is Sept. 25th, but like
Roses are red,
John and Hank are splendidly uncanny,
I wanted to read Hank's book, but today, I have no money
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR FIRST BOOK, HANK! Kudos to John for being the best brother Hank could have.
Roses are red,
my journey is complete,
cause this was the best comment section,
I ever did read.
An English nut
Through and through
Pray, could you tell me
Why I can't rhyme with sew?
On the topic of sew,
Though I hate to sound formal,
It's an interesting word
'cus it's etymology's abnormal
But if you need a word
to rhyme with sew,
Might I suggest:
Flow, go, no, so or sow?

As someone who is currently having some panic about going alone into the city for the tour tonight (I've done it a few times before, including for the Turtles tour, but the build up never gets less harrowing) I really really needed this. Thank you John!
(On a related side note I also wanted to thank you for including those little messages at the tour last year, especially for the "To Those Who Came Alone" message. As someone who had indeed come alone and who had a minor panic attack during the process, I came close to crying happy tears right before the show. Nerdfighteria is constantly helping me jump milestones I didn't know I was capable of, like driving to Boston by myself for Nerdcon, and that little bit recognition meant the world to me. Since then I've gotten much better at navigating NYC on my own and I owe a lot of it to you and to the amazing community you and Hank have created. So for your message and for helping me find my courage, thank you
Roses are red
Hank Green is a king
Everyone go read An Absolutely Remarkable Thing
I like how you have to rush though the last few syllables to try and make the metre work.
The book is amazing. I’ve had it out of the box from amazon for maybe four hours, and aside from 30 minutes devoted to eating dinner with my family, I haven’t put it down. Good job, Hank.

John, why did you shave off your beard?
I don't know why
Didn't notice, must say
One thing caught my eye:
He got a haircut today?
(Yes, the metre is terrible in this one. DFTBA.)
I love the way in which you celebrate each other’s accomplishments. I’m engrossed in An Absolutely Remarkable Thing. I feel like this shows us part of Hank’s soul and life in the same way Turtles All the Way Down showed us another side of John. Love both you guys. ❤️
Roses are red,
My room’s kinda sloppy,
I’m super excited
To read my signed copy
Literally me in a poem
You know how the best part of Bake Off is how everyone is really just in a competition with their own self and they still will go out of their way to help the other competitors? That’s what vlog brothers feels like. There aren’t many places that give me a sense of good feeling but this is one of them.
I'm watching this and celebrating while eating a giant bowl of Boo Berry Cereal. Fall and books! My two favorite things ever.
There's something really calming for me about vlogbrothers videos filmed in hotel rooms? I don't know why, it just feels calm, and familiar and good. Also! I just got hanks book, and it's very pretty and I'm excited to read it! Congrats hank!
Roses are red,
I love sarcasm,
This post is made for TH-cam's algorithm.
Sarcasm indeed
Unless you do mean
That it's ironic
How the system you feed?
Got it on audible. So glad it came out at the same time as the physical boot. It got me through my day. Will listen to it again tomorrow so much to think about after reading!!!
John I love you and Hank so much thank you for this
honestly john and hank's relationship at least like what we get to see through vlog brothers is sincerely #sibling goals, like i love my sister a lot but i feel like we could def work on being better siblings for eachother
Roses are red
We are all online
The reviews for Hank's book
Are looking pretty fine

Thanks so much, John and everyone in the comment section, I really needed cheering up today.
Roses are red,
Some poems are sung.
Why didn't my pre-order
Come on day one?
This is the second time Indigo has screwed me on this (last time being for Turtles). Guess I won't be pre-ordering from them anymore, since they can't see fit to fill pre-orders before their own shelves, defeating the entire purpose of pre-ordering. I'll have to find some other way to support you guys when your books are coming out.
Considering that both of you are at least 25 years older than me, the fact that I feel so INCREDIBLY PROUD OF YOU when you achieve something like this is for me quite strange. I think it has to do with the amount of time I've been in this community now, around five years, that has made me believe somehow that I know you guys, even though I don't. Thanks for the amazing group of people that you help reunite day by day, and CONGRATULATIONS HANK ON THE BOOOKKKK!!!!!!!! kisses from Argentina 🇦🇷💙
Roses are red
Violets are blue
You did it Hank
Green author 2
sibling goals. this is so wholesome
Roses are red
That's a funny subreddit
Congratulations, Hank
You effing did it!!
Please release a full video of John just reading more boot too bigs. This was amazing.
I wish I could come, tonight, but I have class. Ironically, it's a class in which I'm writing something that I wish to exist in the world (advanced playwriting). Congratulations, Hank, and I'll be procrastinating a lot by reading your book, this semester!
This was positively delightful. I find it interesting that the specific "roses are red" format is so calming for you, because I get the same feeling from limericks. Like you said, something about the meter is just really soothing to me.
Love the Boot Too Bit jokes (never knew they had a name) and I can't wait to get my book *goes back to stalking the mailbox*!
*Boot Too Big, after the very first poem that started the subreddit, incidentally also the one John highlights the first.
Looks like it is time for me to look that up, and maybe to check for typoes a little more carefully. I was looking at the description when I typed it too. 🤦♀️I guess I'm too dependent on the little red lines. Another thing to look up when I'm trying to procrastinate. :P
He did do it! I'm in the middle of reading and I am so into it. I have no freaking clue what is happening next and I'm just loving every second of it. Best wishes from Germany
Yay you mentioned FAART! Come join us! There are lots of Carls, Nerdfighters, and fun!
Hank Green Is Awesome
John Green Is Too
The FAART server is open to you.
I think we have a winner for the best acronym ever
@@Kris-lu1rs We are very pround of our acronym!
The fact that FAART has some visual parity with our ubiquitous DFTBA is very satisfying to me.
This is a flawless blend of sincere brotherly support and ridiculous dad jokes that don’t make sense sometimes but are still hilarious. And thank you for mentioning Tuataria! As a member myself, I quite enjoy the space so for anyone wondering about it or nervous to join... I promise we’re super nice. :) CONGRATULATIONS HANK AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
When you find out it's happening beforehand and get your snacks ready for this!! Yay.
Roses are red,
I drive a tank,
It’s been damn well long enough, Hank
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Get AART at the indie bookstore nearest you!
I really needed the simple happiness that comes from this video today. Thank you.
Roses are red
I'm going out on a wing
But I cannot wait to read
An Absolutely Remarkable Thing
For every brother who did not get there, you were what we needed!!!!!!!!!!!
Roses are red
I want to sing
I can't wait to read
An Absolutely Remarkable Thing!
Can we talk about what a line "how lovely the world can be if you pay extremely close attention" is
Hey my picture of my book with my matching manicure made the vid!
0:13, for anyone looking for the matching manicure like me. 🤣
I find it super cool that I'm not the only one who did their nails for the book.
I have been watching your videos for many years and this is either my first, or second comment on the vlogbrothers TH-cam channel. Anyway, as a conflicted person in my mid 20’s, I just wanna thank you and Hank.
