Scraggernoodle

behind the scenes of The Guide, the Staff has epic wins and tragic fails. today, i'm gonna share one of each!

first, the win!
we are now listed on Nerdfighteria.org! i feel like part of the family now!
we're also going to be getting a super-cool nerdfighteria.org site addy. but not yet! soon.

and now, the fail. :(
so, imagine if you will, someone climbing up to the tallest mountain and screaming "scraggernoodle" at the top of their lungs. because "scraggernoodle" is made of awesome and is really exciting and they want to share it with everyone! but when all the Nerdfighters in the village below hear "scrggernoodle" echoing from the mountains, they just go, "um... ok," and move on. cuz really, what the hell is "scraggernoodle" anyway? it actually sounds kinda violent. it's probably best if they don't get involved.
and right now, The Guide is "scraggernoodle." a few people have heard us scream out the name, but they don't know what it is! and worse, they're like, "i don't need to be told how to be a Nerdfighter!" and they're right! that would be awful! and we don't want to do that! but The Guide IS made of awesome and IS really exciting and SHOULD be shared with everyone! so now we just gotta figure out how to make sure everyone knows what The Guide is.

and that, boys and girls, is what's the what with The Guide.

The Guide Goes Green

The Staff apologizes for not keeping everyone more up to date, but we had to see the outcome of our efforts first. And, as expected, the outcome of our efforts was awesome!

As we are but mere, humble, (albeit tirelessly ambitious) Nerdfighters, and have never taken on a project of this nature, we thought it might be a good idea to ask for advice. So we wrote handwritten letters to both John and Hank.

Just before the Thanksgiving holiday, (Nov. 22nd to be precise), The Guide was contacted by Book Wish and we corresponded about The Guide. They said they loved the idea, but they wanted to make sure this was supported by John and Hank.

This changed our goal of getting a bit of advice from the Brothers Green to asking them to get on board. A bit frazzled yet unfalteringly determined, we drafted an email during the last Guide meeting (which all are always welcome to join...please do!) and sent it off with high hopes. We expected to get an answer in the coming weeks.

1 hour and 15 minutes later we received this:


So the entire Staff is super excited for the new year! And we hope you are too!

So everyone send in your submissions so we have lots of awesome stuff to show John and Hank! :)

Best Wishes,

The Guide Staff
