November 1st: When Nerdfighters Fall in Nerdfighter-Like

2007-11-01 · John · watch on YouTube · Nerdfighteria · announcement promotion

John says his favourite Nerdfighters are little ones and those who 'fall in nerdfighter-like'; since a secret sibling and her Nerdfighter boyfriend can't afford the train to meet, the brothers' foundation will pay (about $100, contributions welcome), and a P.S. launches the worldwide Nerdfighter scavenger hunt in Indianapolis.

What is said

00:00:00 — Greeting; congratulations on Hank's rap song; John loves Nerdfighters, a nation of nerds as small as Liechtenstein; two favourite kinds

  • ★★ John congratulates Hank on his rap song from the day before: he laughed a lot, though not always with Hank. (playful) — 00:00:10 · Hank Green
  • ★★★ John likes Nerdfighters more than anything, has never met one he didn't like, and enjoys their forum posts in 'my pants', comments, videos and pictures. — 00:00:10 · Nerdfighteria, Brotherhood 2.0 forum
  • ★★ John describes Nerdfighteria as a small nation built out of nerds from all over the world, comparable to Liechtenstein. (playful) — 00:00:10 · Nerdfighteria

00:00:49 — Little Nerdfighters: a six-year-old trick-or-treater dressed as Louis XIV; Nerdfighters who fall in nerdfighter-like

  • ★★ On Halloween night a six-year-old Nerdfighter came to John's door trick-or-treating dressed as Louis XIV, announcing 'L'etat c'est moi'. (playful) — 00:00:49 · Halloween, Nerdfighteria
  • ★★★ John's two favourite kinds of Nerdfighters are little ones and Nerdfighters who find each other and 'fall in nerdfighter-like'. (playful) — 00:00:49 · Nerdfighteria > «they fall in nerdfighter-like»

00:01:19 — A secret sibling dating a prominent Nerdfighter; the geography problem (Liechtenstein aside, 'my pants', touch and hug); no money for the train; the foundation will help

  • ★★★ One of the secret siblings, unnamed at her request, has just started seeing a somewhat prominent Nerdfighter. — 00:01:19 · secret sibling
  • ★★★ The problem is geography: Liechtenstein is in one place but Nerdfighteria is in about 30,000 places; online hangouts like 'my pants' are fine, but sometimes people need to touch and hug. (playful) — 00:01:58 · Nerdfighteria, Brotherhood 2.0 forum
  • ★★ The secret sibling and her Nerdfighter boyfriend are separated by a distance a train could cover, but as Nerdfighters they have no money for the ticket. (playful) — 00:02:23
  • ★★★ Remembering that the brothers created a foundation for exactly this kind of problem, John says they are going to do it despite complexities and complications. — 00:02:23 · Foundation for Decreasing Suck Levels Worldwide

00:02:53 — About $100, contribute at Brotherhood2.com; Sarah's pumpkin painting of Hank; sign-off; P.S. first clue of the worldwide Nerdfighter scavenger hunt

  • ★★★ The project will cost around $100; Nerdfighters who want to contribute can do so at Brotherhood2.com. (hedged) — 00:02:53 · Nerdfighteria, Brotherhood 2.0
  • ★ John shows a semi-abstract pumpkin painting of Hank that he and Sarah made, almost entirely Sarah. (playful) — 00:02:53 · Sarah Urist Green
  • ★★★ In a P.S. John starts the worldwide Nerdfighter scavenger hunt: something is taped to one of two metal boxes near a Subway on Ditch Road in Indianapolis. — 00:02:53 · Indianapolis, Nerdfighter Scavenger Hunt
  • ★★ Whoever finds the taped object should report its nature and contents immediately on the forum at Brotherhood2.com/mypants. — 00:02:53 · Brotherhood 2.0 forum

Humor (significant)

  • A six-year-old trick-or-treater says 'L'etat c'est moi'; John asks if he is Louis XIV. — 00:00:49 > «And he said, oui! Trick-or-treat!»
  • Mid-sentence about Nerdfighteria and Liechtenstein, John wonders whether Nerdfighters could take Liechtenstein over. — 00:01:19 > «I mean, I know that nerds aren't known for their military capabilities, but does Lichtenstein even have a standing army?»
  • Explaining why the long-distance Nerdfighter couple need to meet, John reassures young viewers. — 00:01:58 > «Mommy and Daddy Nerdfighters don't do anything but touch.»
  • John shows the pumpkin painting of Hank that 'Sarah and I' made. — 00:02:53 > «By the way, when I say Sarah and I, I mean almost entirely Sarah.»
