I read the entire blog "cover to cover" in one week (there are a LOT of posts) & keep up with the new posts. My all time favorite posts: "Fantastic Google Searches That Somehow Lead People to My Site" I LOL in my cube EVERY time. Kudos Johnny! PS. To the previous posters, I think Chealsy Lately would be WAY better than Leno or Ferguson...Just sayin'.

I now subscribe to his blog. I spend most of my time editing unfunny stuff written by not-so-talented writers, so reading JV's hilarious, well-written posts makes my day. (BTW, Hayley keeps her funny people collection in a shed in her garden. She takes them out for parties.)

Since then, I check JV's blog as often (if not more) than I check my families' blogs. He is simply a great writer with a way of making me laugh aloud at some of his thoughts or stories. Great interview - I learned a lot more "behind the scenes" stuff. Thanks for sharing! I’m “one of those” who got the email (uncredited) and HAD to find the author.

The guy's a scream. Somebody needs to get him on Leno. First saw the post a link to JV’s blog and have been a reader ever since. The guy’s a scream. Somebody needs to get him on Leno.

It changed my life. I knew I had to find this guy, had to read more of what he wrote. I'd invite he and his wife for dinner if we lived closer. I know it sounds like stalking, but really, it's not. I just collect funny people. And JV is hysterically funny. I anxiously await his posts and find people looking at me oddly when I read them when I'm in a public place.
