My friend went to the Peeps store in the Mall of America and bought me a stuffed Peep while she was there. I named him Kurt the Punk Rock Nerdfighter.
I hope everyone will forgive me for sounding so shallow, but I missed everything Hank was saying about downtown Missoula because I could not stop staring at his one misaligned tooth.
Kurt is gonna be fartin tonight. well technically that was in 2007 but yeah you get where im going. Cuz science dictates that all the air that you don't burp out... will yeah... so don't be offended by burping people! They're just preventive measures =)
I think this is one of my all time vlogbrothers videos because of Kurt, Brett and Machine Gun and how nice Hank was to them when he could have easily been scared or thought they were hooligans. Go Hank... And Kurt, Brett and Machine Gun.
Those were indubitably the coolest strangers ever. I wish we had strangers like that in Canada. Nope, my mother tells me that all we have are potential rapists.
"Give PEEPS a chance" ... clever Hank. Also you're appealing to my Beatles fangirl side. Thank you for that. I didn't notice you sang that the first time I watched this *forever ago :p*
@TheAnnabanana72 It's a marshmallowy confection covered in colored sugar (Usually pastel colors like purple, blue, yellow and pink) that comes in various shapes (Usually bunnies and chickens) that people eat around Easter time. If you stick them in the microwave it's pretty cool.
@TheAnnabanana72 peeps are chick shaped marshmelow that are colored yellow and have a light sugar coating on them. They come in different colors and also different shapes like ghosts for halloween and hearts for valentines day. sorry is someone already amswered! DFTBA:)
@TheAnnabanana72 It's a marshmellow treat, covered in colored sugar. They look like tiny birds. Most people don't like them though, because of all of the sugar and the texture.
@theatrebum2010 I apologize for my inaccuracy. That last time I had a Peep was at least 10 years ago so my memory of them is hazy at best. The radioactivity couldn't have helped either...
@theatrebum2010 I apologize for my inaccuracy. That last time I had a Peep was at least 10 years ago so my memory of them is hazy at best. The radioactivity couldn't have helped either...
He could have said ANYTHING. But he said "I feel like I've got the stay puft marshmallow man fighting the ghostbusters in my stomach right now" So much love. :D
@ladynerdneedslove Awesome :D Goth-Nerd XD (yeah, i kinda have a soft spot for goths, and anyone who's alternative lol) im a Rocker/Alternative and a nerd :D
So just putting it out there; Peeps are my favorite food... ever any sort of marshmallow holiday themed food actually. So! If there's anyone out there who has leftover Peeps SEND THEM TO ME. Not kidding shoot me a message and I will take you up on the offer.
@Katiegraceles Pretty much marshmallows covered in coloured sugar. They're usually in the shape of baby chickens, but you can find them in other shapes, like the bunny ones Hank got. They're usually Easter treats.
So there is a man sitting alone. In the street. Singing. Who is kind of resembling to a homeless man. BUT he is offering me free candy. Sounds legit to me
"Peeps" are marshmallows covered in sugar that come in a variety of shapes. Including: chicks (baby chickens), bunnies, cats, and snowmen to name a few. xD
So I've been watching your videos all day. (Since 9:30) Now, I've considered myself a nerd for a long time, but never have I been so certain of this than just now, when I said aloud to myself, "I should go do stuff...but I really just want to watch Hank Green and roleplay." DFTBA, everyone. XD
Wow. This is the first time I've ever seen punk rockers OUTSIDE of movies or TV. Or TV-movies.
Either Hawaii doesn't get much of those type of people, those type of people don't really dress up for it, or I'm not looking in the right place (if anywhere, they'd be in Waikiki).
