I've got this wish that Wil guest stars on Boston Legal, just so he can say "Aren't you Denny FUCKING Crane?"

That would be sweet.

Hee hee, nice list. :D
I guess I can breathe a sigh of relief that I am not too much of a stalker, I didn't have any of the top ten. ;)

Can anyone explain the "Kimmel" one to me? Was Wil on Kimmel and a terrible event happen? Damn that Jimmy!

OK, I just have to say that #6 should include "or yourself" because I didn't feel like waiting around for my hubby to (FINALLY) get the hint and buy one for me.

hey wil!
that list rocks. i just finished reading your book; it was awesome. the obligatory, "i laughed, i cried, it moved me". one comment: in one part you briefly mentioned some small movies you did just for money that basically sucked. was one of those Neverland? cuz i thought it rocked! the pirates were FUCKING janitors! it doesnt get any cooler than that!!!

LOL - AWESOME list!

And if you could arrange to send some of that 85 degree heat up to Toronto I'd really appreciate it (I know, I'm pipe dreamin' again...).

.5 ...you deduct three hours from EST and send mojo cross-country whenever Wil has an audition

.25 someone comments on the dorky 80s hat Wil wore on the cruise, and you actually laugh cause you know what he's talking about

.125 You don't give a crap about poker . . . but you read anyway.

.0625 You dedicate a pin through the heart to your Rick Berman doll every night before bed.

.03125 You wonder if Nolan And Ryan are baseball-based pseudonyms and, if not, just wtf was going through Anne and the ex's heads when they named those poor kids

I feel silly...everybody else is focused on the top ten list, and I'm still stuck at the top of the post in awe that Greek mythology was invoked correctly.

Wil wrote in Just a Geek that he lost out to Jimmy Kimmel's cousin Sal when trying to get the job co-hosting Win Ben Stein's Money after Jimmy left the show.

I can understand where Wil's coming from, even if my experience with Jimmy Kimmel and his family has been completely different.

I too am drooling in awe over the Greek mythology reference. Will rocks! \m/\m/

Can you post that top ten list of how to kill off Wesley? haha

ah, wil. see, i think some may see this as purely hypothetical. if only they knew, if only they knew. i read through just a geek last night... again. so damn good. i'm proud that i own that book. even more proud that you wrote it.

I'm really liking Mr. fucking on Boston Legal. I think it's the best thing he's ever done. It would be a hoot to see Wil on there calling him Denny bleepin Crane.

Wil,

I love your new book, It is amazing. I loved you on "My Coolest Years". I thought that I was the only one who was O.C.D. about my "Star Wars Figures". I also love the fact that they said Wil Wheaton "Author". Its nice to see you being referred to your present accomplishments. Way to go Wil!!

LOL... Nice. And can I just say, 85 DEGREES?! WTF?! Holy hell, man. I know the entire world doesn't live in Michigan, like I do, but I still get weirded out when I hear about temperatures like that in December. *shudder* :o)

85 degrees...in December. Let me get my brain around that one. Northern Ohio doesn't see 85 until July!!! Could the ACME troupe ever consider a road trip? We would love to see you.

Happy Holidays.

Wil:
Cool! It's my turn to see your show on the 18th. I can't wait! I'm making it a big event. Dinner in a nice restaurant and then the show. We're ALL looking forward to it.

Break a leg!

:)

Scott

P.S. I'll stick around after the show to say "Hi" before we leave.

Hmmm .. can't believe I am posting here .. That list was pretty funny though :)

Back to lurking for me :)

Hey Wil,
Did u know that in NZ we have Chocolate Wheaten biscuits?
Not the same spelling, I know, but it's so close! And it's pronounced the same...
Just thought I'd mention it coz it sounds closer than 'Wheat Thins'

I would like to know about the top ten list with the soap-on-a-rope! I'm intrigued. Any chance you could post it?

cheers,
Patricia

I saw your "my coolest years" episode the other day. Total enjoyment! But they credited you as "Author/Just A Geek", instead of "Actor/Author-Just A Geek"-- what's up with that? You are an actor first and foremost! ;)

I knew that I've been reading Wil's blog too much when I watched an old video of Wil stuff I've taped off t.v. over the years and nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw that right in the middle of lovely Wil video I'd taped an old 'Twilight Zone' episode with Shatner in it. How could I do such a thing?! Tainting my Wil video with William Farking Shatner?! I scolded myself and immediately did pennance by writing three comedy sketches in my "Wil has a posse" logo notebook. And then I realized I've spent way too much time over the past few years on WWdN and laughed at my dorkiness.

Dude, I've totally had the "So I was reading W-W-d-N last night and..." "You were reading what?" "WWdN." "Huh?" conversation with friends Scary... ;)

Is there a link to to the klingon list?

I saw the show at ACME, and went with great trepidation, but as a fan of comedy theater I can honestly say the ENTIRE cast (yeah Wil too) were outstanding. There's something about Wil that's very relatable, very earnest, and so anti-Hollywood that really clicks with me.

Finally I get one of Wil's lyrics references. Yay me.

hey will--
11. you pass Two Boots Pizza & Video on Ave. A in NYC and see a poster for STAND BY ME, and tell your little sister,
"see that 15yr old hottie? he's the coolest grown up geek & blogger ever"
xo, a

I would be very ecstatic if you were to extend your show's run at the theater, because then there might be that slim chance of a chance that I'd be able to meet you when I go back to Cali for Xmas vacation.

Top 10 Bumper Stickers on the U.S.S. Enterprise
10. "Wesley On Board!"

Any news on hosting "Talk Soup?"

I've read:

A Trekker thinks Wil Wheaton was a lucky kid who got to play a kid on Star Trek.
A Trekkie thinks that Wesley Crusher was a lucky kid who got to sit on the bridge.

And THIS is bad, but tis the season:

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the ship
Not a circuit was buzzing, not one microchip;
The phasers were hung in the arm'ry securely,
In hope that no aliens would get up early.

The crewmen were nestled all snug in their bunks
(Except for the few who were partying drunks);
And Picard in his nightshirt and Bev in her lace,
Had just settled down for a neat face-to-face.

When out in the halls there arose such a racket,
That we leapt from our beds, pulling on pants and jacket.
Away to the lifts we all shot like a gun,
Leapt into the cars and yelled loudly, "Deck One!"

The bridge Red-Alert lights, which flashed through the din,
Gave a luster of Hades to objects within.
When, what, on the viewscreen, should our eyes behold,
But a weird kind of sleigh, and some geek who looked old.
But the glint in his eyes was so strange and askew,
That we knew in a moment it had to be Q.

His sleigh grew larger as closer he came.
Then he zapped on the bridge and addressed us by name;
"It's Riker! It's Data! It's Worf and Jean-Luc!
It's Geordi! And Wesley, the genetic fluke!
To the top of the bridge, to the top of the hall!
Now float away, float away, float away all!"

As leaves in autumn are whisked off the street,
So the floor of the bridge came away from our feet,
And up the ceiling our bodies they flew,
As the captain called out, "What the hell is this Q?!"
The prankster just laughed and expanded his grin,
And, snapping his fingers, he vanished again.

As we took in our plight and were looking around,
The spell was removed, and we crashed to the ground.
The Q, dressed in fur from his head to his toe,
Appeared once again to continue the show.
"That's enough!" cried the captain, "You'll stop this at once!"
And Riker said, "Worf! Take your aim at this dunce!"
"I'm deeply offended, Jean-Luc," replied Q.
"I just wanted to spend Christmas with you."

As we scoffed at his words, he produced a large sack.
He dumped out the contents, and took a step back.
"I've brought gifts," he said, "just to show I'm sincere.
There's something delightful for everyone here."
He sat on the floor and dug into the pile,
And handed out gifts with his most charming smile.

"For Counselor Troi, there's no need to explain,
Here's Tylenol-Beta for all of your pain.
For Worf I've got mints as his breath's not too great,
And for Geordi LaForge, an inflatable date.
For Wesley, some hormones, and Clearasil-Plus:
For Data, a joke book; for Riker, a truss.
For Beverly Crusher, there's sleek lingerie,
And for Jean-Luc, the thrill of seeing her that way."

Then he sprang to his feet with that grin on his face,
And, clapping his hands, disappeared into space.
But we heard him exclaim as he dwindled from sight,
"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good flight!"

I've actually done number one. I was watching that "Last Laugh of '04" on Comedy Central and The Shat came on stage in the beginning. I yelled out "It's William Fucking Shatner" at that point and all three of my roommates looked at me like I was completely insane.

And I am.

Way to go Troy "The SID chip is the coolest thing EVER" Rutter!

Q-Link forever, baby!

Oh, and "Neverland" was an awesome, awesome movie.

What is the weather usually like this time of year?
It has been a warm fall this year here in the mid-west. It has been 40's and 50's so far. Not really cold at all. 85 in this state sucks with no wind.

Jeremy

Heheee. THe mythology thing was funny, but the I laughed all over again reading the top ten.

Wow, love the Greek mythology reference. Wil, do you have a first in the Classic's from Cambridge?

As usual only the finest blogging from you.

And one day I will go Geo-caching in California. Instead of cold ol' England!

A nitpicks, but someone needs to tell Mr. Rutter that the Alias character is called Sydney, with a y

see??? i told you!!! NEVERLAND was awesome in all its terrible filmmaking ways. go andrew!

And I'm not just saying that about Neverland because my DVD cover is autographed.

I am thinkin it should be a top eleven list.

11. You are so obsessed with Wil Wheaton's log that you think of a creative way to add Wesley Crusher's image to your own blog. Journal entry 50.

Alasdair - Ack! Yer right, its Sydney, sorry sorry.

As for the SID chip, Devyn! WOo hoo go C=! I'm still trying to find a replacement SID cartridge for an ebay C64 I acquired. The parental overunit sold the previous one at a garage sale for 50cents. Egads. And no, I don't feel like soldering.

Either Devyn was from the old Qlink days or did a google search to find out my former life. ;)

Now I feel realllllllly bad about spelling Sydney wrong. I guess that is what they get for no new episodes until January!

Or my personal #11:
At work you find yourself saying things like "Wil Wheaton said such-and-such" confounding your co-workers who have no idea who Wil Wheaton is, and confusing those who do even more. (Closely followed by "Zach Braff just got his copy of the DVD" since I receive his feed too)

Troy: the Q-Link comment was me (Andrew Hackard), not Devyn. "It's a small net after all."

Pffft, you all can keep your giddiness over correct mythology uses. I'm just floored that he used Bauhaus lyrics for the entry title.

Kudos!

Not me who pointed out the spelling error, (I make way to many myself, I'd just be a big hippocyrite 'probally spelt wrong')

It wasn't me! It was AJ

The author's names appears below the post, not above!
