Not going to lie, cracked up at the Perry and O.W.C.A. reference.

No Nerdfighterian Olympians? We play Quidditch! That's an Olympic sport! Right...right?

[senshixdoukeshi]

Phineas and Ferb shout out! Trust those instincts, John. That is totally a secret agent.

[BambiDabbles]

I remember when I became a nerdfighter by that title, and my mother expressed concern.  "Who is this John Green character, and what is this weird cult you're following these days?"
And I tried to explain to her that we're all about spreading awesome and decreasing world suck, and she still seemed concerned.  My story for the day.

We should make Quidditch an official sport and include it in the Olympics.

Also: "Oh, hello, Hank, it's Esther Day, and I'm casually walking on my treadmill desk while writing my next best-selling novel. Look, there's a muskrat. I can tell because I just happen to have these awesome binoculars handy in case of this very situation. DFTBA."
He Totally Remembered to be AWESOME today.

He is only a secret agent if wearing a fedora, otherwise, just a critter.

This is the wrong video to watch while stuck in bed after spraining my playing hand ball.

This is now my favorite Vlogbrothers video.

A significant amount of European Handball players are well into there 30s and some into their 40s, so yes John, it is possible!

[RogueCulture]

Jennifer Pinches is amazing! Thank you so much to her and all the GB gymnastics team for representing our country so well in the Team Final yesterday.

[Wawona]

I made it a point to watch this video during the Opening Ceremonies, Sochi 2014.

[Daph]

Gymnastics has always been my favourite sport, the fact that Jenni's a nerdfighter made it even more awesome. I almost screamed at my office computer when she did the nerdfighter sign after her floor routine! This is SO awesome!=D

[RenaissanceGirl]

Honestly, I think it would be pretty cool to qualify for archery at the Olympics. As far as I can tell, the US has never had a female archer competing solo. But I may have overlooked something there, because that just doesn't seem right! But anyway, nerdy archers FTW.

[RebelAngel]

I was a gymnastics fan first and a Nerdfighter second, so to see you guys talking about Jenni Pinches makes me SO HAPPY YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW I LOVE YOU.

[thalandor]

It makes me smile to see you say "I love you" with so much more ease than previous attempts :)

[ohyeagirl]

haha during the olympics my HS band did the BAND OLYMPICS. yes, bandies rejoice! And no, the trumpets didnt win overall, but we did win the long tone contest!!!! lol

[BrokenOphelia]

Me and my husband where watching the gymnastics team finals supporting team GB and we saw her make the hand gesture and we both shouted DFTBA at our tv, she infact did it twice. It was seriously awesome though, such a huge moment to feel the interconnoective power of nerdfightaria.
