2012-01-24 · John, Hank · watch on YouTube · Personal life · personal update

John tells how, after a midnight Houston tour signing, the brothers' hotel had sold their rooms, and the replacement hotel gave them a luxurious room with a real Picasso print; he concludes that disasters can turn out 'armoisome'.

What is said

00:00:00 — After the Houston signing at midnight, the hotel has sold their rooms

  • ★ John's description names the hotel as the Hotel ZaZa in Houston and calls it very, very, very nice. — 00:00:00
  • ★★ After the Houston stop of the Tour de Nerdfighting, signing ended around midnight and the hotel told the brothers it had accidentally sold their rooms; John was cranky and wanted to sleep. — 00:00:01 · Tour de Nerdfighting

00:00:19 — The replacement hotel's best room: 'armoire-some', bigger than John's house

  • ★★ At a different hotel the clerk said they had reserved one of their best rooms; John finds it astonishing and says it is literally bigger than his house. (playful) — 00:00:14

00:00:56 — A real Picasso print, not nailed down; Hank as art thief

  • ★★ John points out the room has an actual Picasso print. — 00:00:56
  • ★★ Hank notes the print and other things in the hotel are not nailed down, and reads its certificate of authenticity: 'Seated Woman', by Pablo Picasso. (playful) — 00:01:01

00:01:40 — Moral: disasters can turn out 'armoisome'; sign-off with Hank holding the camera

  • ★★ John concludes that sometimes disasters can turn out 'armoisome' (awesome), a pun carried over from the room's armoire. (playful) — 00:01:40

Humor (significant)

  • Walking into the luxurious hotel room, John spots an armoire. — 00:00:23 > «Armoire? More like Armoi-some»
  • Hank holds the unsecured Picasso print while eating Pringles. — 00:01:29 > «You're retiring and becoming a professional art thief!»
