The Human Baton

December 12, 2006 5:09 AM

Luke Vaughn has no car, but he wanted to travel from his home in Eugene, OR to the East Coast for the holidays. So he asked his fellow fans of the show with zefrank for a little help. He's becoming the Human Baton, and with the help of dozens of internet strangers, he's started his trip cross-country. They're each putting a pin on his jacket, posting photos, and blogging it. Oh, and they're planning meetups with him all through his route.

Let Me Stay for a Day did this much more ambitiously and interestingly a few years ago.
It's kind of becoming a tired idea, (Red Paperclip, 50 States, etc., etc,...) but lucky him. Must be fun.

How awesome is the internet for this to happen? This kind of thing makes me love humanity.

the show began with the march 17, 2006 episode and will end exactly one year later.
Ze Frank has given himself an expiration date! Huh.

I can't wait till Ze Frank becomes a big-time star and we can all hate him openly and earnestly for being a big-time star.

Recently I had no car, job, girlfriend, apartment or colored paperclip, but I wanted to rule the Earth from a floating castle. So I asked my fellow readers of the website Craigslist for a little help. I'm becoming the Human Male Prostitute, and with the help of dozens of internet strangers, I've started my anal odyssey. They're each putting a cock somewhere inside me, posting photos, and blogging it. Oh, and they're planning gangbangs with me all through my digestive tract.

I can't help but wonder how participation might have varied had the human baton also been ugly and morbidly obese.
