« Kaaaaaaaahhhhnnnnn!!! | Main | Home Again » June 23, 2002AwesomeAnne and I are getting ready to leave. Our plane to Vancouver departs in just a few hours, and we're finishing up the last-minute packing, and cleaning up our house, because it's so nice to come home from a vacation to a house that's not a mess. Our house is usually a mess. I say it's the hallmark of a family who works a lot...Anne says it's because I'm lazy...I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. So the last 2 weeks have been crazy, as we get ready for CruiseTrek. I've been working on 2 shows for G4, finishing all my sketch comedy writing class assignments( we have a show the day after I get back from Alaska), and re-writing my sketches for the ACME show. I also enlisted the help of my friend Sean to help me design some cool T-shirts for our sketch comedy group, which we are calling Earnest Borg 9. Get it? Who's with me?! Yeah!! So the point of all this is, I've been really busy, just getting ready to go, and I sat down here about 10 minutes ago, just to check the weather in Alaska, and take a quick look at the website, and I thought to myself, "Hey, I think I'll check out my walk-a-thon sponsorships, and see how I'm doing." Holy. Moses. You people RULE!! It's been less than a week, and already we're at $1,875.00!! I am so ecstatic, and so proud. I don't think I'm going to have a problem reaching my goal of $5,000. As a matter of fact, if I hit that goal by the end of July, I'm going to reset my goal and aim even higher. Thank you, most sincerely, to everyone who has donated to sponsor me. I will attempt to update from Alaska, so keep watching this space. Have you checked out my Message Board yet? It's a fun place to hang out while Uncle Willie's out of town. Thought for Today:

Hope you have a great time on the trip! Posted by: Toonces at June 23, 2002 01:26 PMon this perfect day! nothings standing in your way! on this perfect day where nothing can go wrong! enjoy yout trip! Hey have a great time on your cruise! And I just wanted to say that I think it's a great thing you're doing with the walk-a-thon. There aren't enough people out there who care enough. I plan to donate as soon as my next paycheck comes in. Man, being up at school I almost forgot what it was like to make money and have some left over at the end of the month! Posted by: Jess Lat at June 23, 2002 01:31 PMOh and you quoted Shakespeare! You just went up another 10 points in my book! ;-) Again, have a great time Posted by: Jess Lat at June 23, 2002 01:32 PMdude wish i could be there-- have fun be sfe and say hi to the missus for us-- "Earnest Borg 9"-- I love it!! Posted by: Andie-Gypsy_girl at June 23, 2002 03:44 PMNow don't forget us!!! AND DON'T FORGET TO WRITE! Posted by: bluecat-redblanket at June 23, 2002 03:55 PMI heard that www.unrealisticexpectations.com is a cool place to hang around when Wil is gone, too. Seriously. More content than you can shake a stick at...and reviews by the cruise ship full! Posted by: Roughy at June 23, 2002 04:10 PMAnd after that, if you're still looking for something to do while Wil's out cruising, why not take up a new activity such as hiking or a martial art? Plenty of stick shaking there! Posted by: kendoka at June 23, 2002 04:20 PM"Get it?" No. (Wil pulls out an even bigger club).
ps remember to do laps on the Ledo deck to get in shape for the walk. Posted by: synchronicity at June 23, 2002 05:09 PMCongrats on the fund raising. Beats selling candy bars door to door. Have fun on your cruise. I am so jealous and hot. Kansas is so freakin' hot. Posted by: alexa at June 23, 2002 05:30 PMwil: i really enjoy "the quote of the day"... you'll never know how much today's quote really hit the spot...thanks!...d.burr Posted by: d..burr at June 23, 2002 05:51 PMHave fun on the cruise Wil! I know you'll love it!! Cruising is one of the best types of vacations because you get to choose what you want to do... relax and do nothing, or do everything... and there's so much to do!!! Posted by: niki at June 23, 2002 06:07 PMHave a great trip will... and BTW... i seriously do not get the "Earnest Borg 9" thing... (attempts to dodge barrage of flung garbage) I seem to have a sticky L key Posted by: mordoc at June 23, 2002 06:14 PMYay!!! Wil's coming to Canada, even for a couple of days!!! umm... have fun on your cruise, Wil. Posted by: redhaiku at June 23, 2002 07:06 PMEarnest Borgnine is an actor most famous for his role in McHale's Navy. And well the Borg 9 is a Star Trek refrence. max p.s. I like monkeys (dont ask...) Posted by: Max_Damage78 at June 23, 2002 07:08 PMWil, have a great time in Alaska! my mom always wanted 2 go there. Posted by: lacy at June 23, 2002 07:28 PMhave a great time on the cruise wil, just remember to take some time out to spend with anne!! Posted by: jadis at June 23, 2002 08:02 PMI can go to sleep tonight feeling good about myself. I decided to go make a donation, go me! It wasn't much, not that whole $500 thing. But you said anything helps, and I have nothing better to do with my money! Good Luck Wil! Way to go, folks! I bet we can get Wil to $10,000! Wil, have a good trip. And by the way, I think I http://mediaservice.photoisland.com/auction/Jun/20026234438563612104812.jpg http://forums.fark.com/cgi/fark/comments.pl?IDLink=216819 Keep up the good work! -Stu Posted by: Stu May at June 23, 2002 10:23 PM"Earnest Borgnine is an actor most famous for his role in McHale's Navy." -maxdamage78 Actually, although he did well as an actor, Ernest is not Earnest. Know-what-I-mean? He crops up all over the place in pics from the 50s and 60s (eg. The Dirty Dozen), and was Ethel Merman's husband (one of his five marriages). Man, it must have been noisey in that house. btw, his real name is Ermes Effron Borgnino (have fun with THAT, Wil), b. 1917. He's still actin', believe it or not. Good for him. Posted by: synchronicity at June 23, 2002 11:36 PMOh ya, I almost forgot, he played a key role in "From here to eternity". I think that was his biggest role. Posted by: synchronicity at June 23, 2002 11:37 PMOh, duh, and "Marty", for which he won an Oscar. http://us.imdb.com/Details?0048356 I'll shut up now (hey, he was always a favorite). Posted by: synchronicity at June 23, 2002 11:39 PMhave af great trip Wil & Anne ! ad yes I get the Ernest borg 9... and Will, you need this vacation... Posted by: wade at June 24, 2002 01:44 AMA little advice...no matter what the Coca-cola commercial may look like...polar bears are not good for petting... Posted by: tanyak at June 24, 2002 03:18 AMUncle Willie? oh well, enjoy the vacation i guess.....whatever... Posted by: June at June 24, 2002 06:07 AMHey, Wil! A sure-fire way to score some points: Instead of upping YOUR Avon 3-day donation goal, why not encourage your loyal base of fans and readers to sponsor ANNE? Of course, I already thought of that and sponsored you both. But, in case you wanted to be even more of a hero ... And, another idea, I challenge all you people who, like me, have NEVER watched Star Trek, to sponsor Wil and Anne for $100 each or more. Posted by: Huh bunny at June 24, 2002 06:13 AMHey Wil, have a great time on the cruise! Please keep us posted :) Posted by: Stephanie at June 24, 2002 06:58 AMHey Wil, I know where you live, do you have an alarm system on your house? JUST kidding, have a safe trip. Posted by: Tim at June 24, 2002 07:22 AMhey wil, have a great time. We'ii get you past the $5,000 mark easly, trust us we all luv ya Posted by: Kordith at June 24, 2002 07:44 AMHey wil, have a great time We'll get u past your $5,000 mark. Trust us we all luv ya Posted by: Kordith at June 24, 2002 07:46 AMI know you've heard this a million times but... Have fun on the cruise! I wish I could go. I need a vacation. I just checked out the soapbox the other day cause I turned 18. :) Sorry I couldn't donate but I don't have a job right now and money is tight. I still wanted to help out though so I put a link to your homepage on my blog to help it gain more awhairness. I hope you reach your goal.... and even more. :) Posted by: SpiderWebb at June 24, 2002 10:09 AMI'm a little late, but I hope you and Anne have a great vacation. Alaska at this time of year? We just met you. :-) In Vancouver. In a Shoppers Drug Mart. how cool was that?! My goodness. We thought of saying more afterwards but it was all over. You totally made our day. :-) Thanks! We needed the pick up. Vicky Posted by: Vicky at June 24, 2002 12:49 PMhey! we just met you! hehehe. at shoppers drugmart in vancouver. were you buying hair dye? we both had to rush to the library and tell all about the celebrity we just met. see we have livejournals. that's what my url is. i hope you have fun on your cruise. and i hope you like canada lots. and i do think your great. and it's great that you don't take yourself seriously. that's funny. look at me look at me. a big dork being a big fan with all the lines. hehehe. Posted by: carissa at June 24, 2002 01:18 PMby the way... that's one of my most favorite quotes. i collect them you know. Posted by: carissa... again at June 24, 2002 01:20 PMOh, have fun! I've always want to take a cruise to Alaska! I'll look forward to hearing about it all. Posted by: Adrienne at June 24, 2002 03:51 PM
Make sure the ship doesn't make any false claims about being unsinkable and I'd count the lifeboats before you go on board.
Earnest Borg 9? That's the worst thing I've ever heard. heheh Posted by: dreamscape at June 24, 2002 09:49 PMHave a good time, Wil! =) Posted by: Christy at June 24, 2002 10:13 PMUncle Willie? As Wil said: Holy! Moses! Donation I can't wait til they get back and see this! Proud of them, us, YOU! Posted by: Corky at June 25, 2002 02:54 AMSet your goal at $50000, and people will reach it with 100 days to go. Posted by: Andrew at June 25, 2002 03:24 AMThat was what I was going to say too!! My gosh, in one day, it jumped from $1875 to $5394. Some very generous people out there. Posted by: Gil at June 25, 2002 06:10 AMFollowing up on Andrew's comment, it could hit $70k if it continues to climb at this rate, but $50k is probably a better target. Wow, I'm impressed by the generosity out there. Posted by: synchronicity at June 25, 2002 10:03 AMbwahahaha. Earnest Borg 9 ... *chuckle* That's good. Have a great cruise and don't let the grammar nazis get you down. Posted by: tj at June 25, 2002 11:49 AMWait until he comes back and see's that he's already over his $5000 mark. Way to go Will&Co! Chris Posted by: Chris Koerner at June 25, 2002 12:19 PMWait until he comes back and see's that he's already over his $5000 mark. Way to go Will&Co! Chris Posted by: Chris Koerner at June 25, 2002 12:20 PMHey, can someone post the link in here? I've been trying to hit it from Wil's main page, and keep getting "This page cannot be displayed". Thanks in advance! Julie Posted by: JulesInArk at June 25, 2002 12:32 PMJulie, btw, I'd like to donate but I'm from Canada, and there is no selection for the appropriate province, even after selecting Canada as the country. What are other people doing there? Just putting a phony location down and working it out later with Wil? Posted by: synchronicity at June 25, 2002 01:29 PMWow Wil. What a great thing you're doing with the walk-a-thon. And so many people already donated. It's like already on 5000, wow. Have a great cruise. Bye, Helene Posted by: Helene at June 25, 2002 03:14 PMOutstanding Wil!!!! Way to break $5000 by the 25th. Maybe you can double it, even triple it!!!! Posted by: dave at June 25, 2002 06:22 PMJulie, Synchronicity, Tom Posted by: Tom at June 26, 2002 05:25 AMHoly smeg. It's over $7000 now. Think we can crack $10k by the time he gets back from his trip? Hahahaha.. Posted by: MAXOMENOS at June 26, 2002 11:00 AM*grin* I'm really hoping it breaks $10K before he gets back. I'll do my little bit for it as soon as I've balanced the checkbook... WOO. People can be so damned cool. *beam* Posted by: catie at June 26, 2002 12:42 PM*grin* I'm really hoping it breaks $10K before he gets back. I'll do my little bit for it as soon as I've balanced the checkbook... WOO. People can be so damned cool. *beam* Posted by: catie at June 26, 2002 12:42 PMoops. :P Posted by: catie at June 26, 2002 12:43 PMhttp://lakerbago.com/misc/wilkoot.jpg Posted by: Spudnuts at June 26, 2002 01:45 PMTake us with you!!! :D Just kidding.

I really do hope it'll break $10,000 before he gets back from the cruise, Haha. That would be soooo great :-D People are just amazingly good hearted when they donate to things like that. Great! Bye, Helene Posted by: Helene at June 26, 2002 03:23 PMchibi chibi Posted by: chibiroach at June 26, 2002 06:16 PMugh@!@@@@!!! GEE WHIZ Wil, I hope you have the most supery dupery time.

Posted by: gurl at June 26, 2002 06:29 PMOH, and honey... I really really don't mean to flame you on this but overall, you use the word "awesome" an awful lot. But I will agree seeing a glacier and the beauty of Alaska is worthy and indeed AWEsome Ya know, "cool" may not seem like too cool a word but hey it's faster to type...give er a spin eh.

I'm awe-struck with the people on this site! Yeah US! Thanks, Wil and Anne, for proving (once again) that this is some magical mojo you got us into here! Posted by: Corky at June 26, 2002 06:41 PMGurl: don't worry, some of us give Wil shit when we think he needs it. Maybe that's why he needs the vacation. spudz hows mount wilerist? Posted by: hops at June 27, 2002 10:51 PMwil, your walk a thon web page? that not such a bad picture to take. and over $7,000.00! I wonder if thats a record?!

As for the music: if you like Weezer, try Sloan. They're Canadian and absolutely wonderful. Posted by: Miss J at June 30, 2002 07:07 AMWil- Hey queers, wwdn is communist propaganda. wake up butt-pirates. soccer is for fags. Posted by: caligula at June 30, 2002 10:23 PMLooks like Caligula needs to stay away from the expresso machine. Actually, if I could be controversial for a mo, "Life is like a fruitcake, it wouldn't be the same without a few nuts" Posted by: fluffy at July 1, 2002 10:32 AMmethinks fluffy just scored a GOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! On a nicer note, I can't believe we smashed the head monkey's goal for the Breast Cancer Walk. Makes me want to donate again just to see if we can hit $10,000. But, I better save the rest of my "spare" cash for Mr. I.R.S. Posted by: shrike at July 1, 2002 11:09 AMLittle known facts about sports 1) The Game of FOOTBALL (sometimes erroneously called soccer), requires a level of skill, fitness and sportsmanship (this is optional for Old Firm teams) PAAAAAAAAAAAAAARP! "All hail the duck" Posted by: fluffy at July 1, 2002 02:24 PMIt would rock if we could break $10,000 by the time Uncle Willie gets back... talk about a nice surprise! IF you have $.02 to spare, then donate it! (It'd be even cooler if we could break $15,000, but first things first.)
Hey Wil! it's me!!!!!! well actually no it isn't but hey have a good time and no matter what anybody says..... you're not cool! hehe only joking! bye wil! *falls down the stairs* ooops must have slipped sorry bye *runs away very fast* Posted by: Dominic at July 1, 2002 07:23 PMHey Wil! it's me!!!!!! well actually no it isn't but hey have a good time and no matter what anybody says..... you're not cool! hehe only joking! bye wil! *falls down the stairs* ooops must have slipped sorry bye *runs away very fast* Posted by: Dominic at July 1, 2002 07:28 PMIn Vancouver, you might like the Raincity Grill on Denman- they have a great selection on Pacific NW wines and looks out over English Bay. I think it's relatively close to a Shopper's Drug Mart, just in case. ;-) Posted by: leaux at July 1, 2002 10:18 PMJust a scholarly footnote for anyone who is interested: caligula said: >> soccer is for fags. Yup. Just like almost everything else... except fishy muff. ewwwww. Posted by: Ben Dover - butt-buccaneer at July 2, 2002 08:29 AMPlease come back, I am suffering from Willy Withdrawal Symptoms. shoot! had i been on my big trek-catch-up-on-what-willy's-up-to kick about a month ago i could have maybe booked my self on that cruise and stalked Wil and the Missus. oh well, cest la vie. Ok, when's he getting back? This whole goin out of town on a cruise thing is getting old. Posted by: Kman at July 2, 2002 11:15 PMOk, when's he getting back? This whole goin out of town on a cruise thing is getting old. Posted by: Kman at July 2, 2002 11:16 PMYeah! Come on Wil, get home! >>>I heard that www.unrealisticexpectations.com is a cool place to hang around when Wil is gone, too. Seriously. More content than you can shake a stick at...and reviews by the cruise ship full! ROUGHY! Posted by: Potch at July 3, 2002 09:31 AMThought for a new day, Wil: 'William Shakespeare, Me A Sure for Me A Sure.' :-) Posted by: Sojourner at July 3, 2002 01:50 PMWil, Your Index Page has no entries!!! Perhaps, you're in the middle of posting a new entry, and since your last entry was over a week old, and in a different month, it was pushed to the archives before the new entry arrived. Hopefully that's it. Welcome back....hope the cruise was enjoyable. Posted by: John at July 3, 2002 02:12 PMStu May! Did you get your BFA at SMUT? Posted by: openeyedreamer at September 18, 2002 12:23 AMOk, so I joined the conversation a little late...does anybody post anymore?
