In which Hank is astounded by how extremely unfriendly, exploitative, annoying, expensive, and useless digital cable systems are these days. I literally could not believe how annoying it was. It's clearly an industry not just ripe for, but in great need of, revolution. And I suppose that's what we're doing here.
And that dog at the end is Sam, who is the dog of my friends Heather and Dave who are the owners of said TV. Sam just had a bit of surgery but he's doing fine now!
YourPants is BACK: http://www.yourpants.org Check out SciShow http://www.youtube.com/scishow and CrashCourse http://www.youtube.com/crashcourse
In which John discusses some changes to 2012 (that is, twenty twelve) vlogbrothers, including a location for the evil baby orphanage and--SORRY--a slight reduction to two videos a week so we can devote more time to the community and its projects (and also so I can hopefully get a better stomach).
In which John witnesses his parents' goats having sex, including all of the weird foreplay that precedes goat sex, like the part where the male goat urinates on his own beard and then rubs it all over the female goat, and then the part where the goat humps in all the wrong places. Basically, it's a Thoughts from Places video about walking around the woods in North Carolina, only I stumbled into...yeah...goats loving goats.

* This story, "The War for Banks Island," is unfinished and when it is finished, it will be bad. But unlike Zombicorns, it will not be released under a creative commons license, so only people who buy it will ever get to read it. I'm hoping to finish it around January 20th.
