Stop it Peach! I keep spewing my soda!

Treasure to Treasure, because nothing is ever trash.

The wonderful musings of $herdog

[peach]

oh I forgot about $herdog!

Hmmm.

$herdog and John-dizzle do DIY"

On an unrelated note, does anyone else think John is totally gay for some reason? I always think he is and I can't put my finger on why...

"Do it yourself, Yo!" by $herdog and Johnboy....with a photo of them looking all gangster holding cans of spray paint, and their dog with a gold chain around it's neck.

"blogging secrets",

"The best way to keep your blog material coming is to half ass every single project. Do it wrong on purpose and spend lots of money on furniture that looks like shit. That way you can sell it on Craigslist for twice what you paid since you are a celebrity, and you get twice the blog posts out of it when you go back and fix what you f-d up. It's blogging gold, yo!

This is no lie: when you google "John Petersik" the auto fill options in google is "John Petersik gay." Other people must think this also if google is picking up on it as a search term (unless there is another "famous" John Petersik I don't know about).

He's not gay. But I do think he's pretty metro.

[nicoliae]

I think he's gay also. I'm waiting for their marriage to fall apart (Dooce-style) and everything is publicly revealed. I also think they are kind of attention hungry (him with the Real World, her on MTV, them on HGTV). It's like they have always just been TRYING to be a celebrity and this is the closest thing to that.

With that said, I have no funny book titles. Continue on

Weeell I did find this. Of course KB does have a slightly odd sense of humor. Question 2.

At one time they mentioned he tried out for it. I'm not sure if he was ever actually on the show though.

[peach]

There is so many things wrong with them. I am afraid to know what they keep private.

[linz]

I don't think he is gay but Sherry def wears the pants in that house. Anything she wants he either goes and does and drives her to get it. I think it's great they can make a living off a blog, but they really should have another job or something as a backup for when this dies out and fails. I can't see them making enough money forever off it.

I'm also glad they have the Life tab so we don't have to read so much about Clara.

1000% he is gay and she is living in a fantasy world.

I've had several people IRL ask me if I know about YHL. They always seem shocked when I say I don't really care for them.

Their popularity astounds me more than it should.

I have been astounded/confounded by their popularity for years. 

I guess I understood the draw in the beginning...watching a nice couple redo their house on the cheap rather than to learn anything from.

I definitely never understood why anyone looked to them as experts in anything though, and how they managed to make a career out of all of this.  I was bored by their decorating (copying) and cringing at their diy from the start, and then they started 'designing' and their total lack of talent, yet they still made it a career.

They are not even good fodder for GOMI anymore, because they are just too boring and nothing to bother with.  They are the Seinfeld show of blogs...it's a blog about people who don't really know anything or do anything worth blogging.

That's a good comparison!

Overrated, for sure.
