July 6: Ooooooops

2007-07-06 · Hank · watch on YouTube · Nerdfighteria · comedy performance

Hank, now on the even days and off to go tubing, shows nerdfighters' giant driveway sign, teases John about declaring email bankruptcy, and then accidentally instant messages John, who messages back; both broke the no-textual-communication rule, so Hank asks Nerdfighters for punishment ideas.
