Good morning Hank and good morning nerdfighters.

I bet you have two questions: “John, first, why is this being recorded on your iSight camera and, two, why are your puff levels so high?” Those questions actually both have the same answer which is that I’ve spent the last hour and a half walking around downtown Minneapolis desperately looking for a place that sells the little cable that takes the information from inside of my camcorder and puts it inside of the computer. Unfortunately, for some reason, Minneapolis seems to think that Sunday is holy so I have not been able to get one. This means that my proper Sunday video will not come out until tomorrow, but in the mean time I have to tell you guys something very important - Hank, stop watching this right now.

I mean it, dude - which is that Hank’s birthday is on Tuesday. This Tuesday. I’m getting him something that I think is pretty nice, but I wanted to let you guys know so that you could have time to get him something, too, like, I dunno what you want to get him.

Maybe you want to do him the honor of buying his CD, link in the sidebar. Maybe you want to bake him a Hank cake. Or maybe you just want to use the magic of YouTube to wish him a happy birthday.

But, anyway, particularly since my video is going to be late I wanted to let you know that Hank’s birthday is indeed on Tuesday and that you should indeed, like, if you have time and energy and you love Hank as much as - like Hank as much as I do, then you should get him something! My video will be up tomorrow. Sorry.

You can vote as to whether or not I should be punished in comments, but I swear I looked really hard for a Firewire cable. DFTBA!
