Completely off topic, but I find myself rewatching vlogbrothers videos in alternating phases....first it's a marathon of John videos and then Hank videos and etc. etc. until my homework is procrastinated to the point of possible incompletion.

@PassTheMarmalade1957 Hey, at least you're not the one instinctively telling people that they've been 'Mercutiowned' after reading Romeo and Juliet XD

Fairly amusing tidbit, my family name on my mother's side is Wimp (no, I'm not joking) and I had a great great uncle named Edgar Alan Wimp. Doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
John it is my duty as a nerdfighter to inform you, as you asked me to, that you a little fat in this video. I'm sorry. I know it was awhile ago. But just take a moment now, and look at yourself, and then look at yourself in the video, and if they are similar, well then maybe you gotta work a little harder.
I believe the Raven symbolizes humanities ability to look back and analyze past events even if they are hard to look through or you dont want to and draw from it posibilities as to what could have happened better and how you can move on from there on
at a field trip in a museum, me and my friend saw a bust of poe. we're both nerdfighters so we both looked at each other a said "What could you do with a poe bust?!" following that *awkward silence*
what coul you do with a poe bust is a very weird thing to have stuck in your head start singing it out lord and its garantied every one will look at you like you've lost the plot
Yeah, right, like John needs fitness equipment... Just kidding!!! John, you're not fat, you're just a fluffier teddy bear than others! (The fluffy ones are the best!)
i know why a raven is like a writing desk!! i really can't take full credit on this, as my friend came up with it, but it's because that Edgar Allen Poe wrote on both on them :D
I finished "Paper Towns" like 2 weeks ago and on the back it says the winner of the Edgar award. Every time I saw that "what could you do with a Poe bust" rang through my ears. And now it is again. THANKS JOHN! haha
now i need to figure out what i could do with a poe bust once i get my book published, and hopefully win a bust of one of my all time favorite writers
I can't believe you were at kinokuniya in june! that's around the time when i started watching your vlogs and was watching all videos from the beginning of vlogbrothers: |
I am incredibly disappointed that my english class just finished our Poe studies, because I fear I will never again have a more appropriate opportunity to shout, "EDGAR ALLAN PWNED".
today at school we studied poems and the teacher had a ton of books full of poems out and I grabed one full of poems and or things that are poem-ish and now this video makes a lot more since
Maybe I'm off base, but I'm confused why you would give him an English accent. Poe was born in Boston, and spent most of his life in Virgina...so wouldn't he have a southern accent? Or a northeastern?
