I wrote A LOT about my sons, and our relationship, during this five year mission. It's rewarding and special to look back at those posts, now, knowing everything I know.
After a long Exile, I returned home this weekend. Until the heat death of the universe or I stop blogging (whichever comes first), I'll be back at WWdN.
This is the second to last post I made at WWdN:in Exile. I’m copying it here for completion’s sake. In 2001, blogs were very new things. In fact, as much more time was […]
This weekend, after way, way too many years in exile, I’m finally returning home. Wow. Typing that made me feel all the feels. I wasn't expecting that.

Awesome.
And what I heard was “Clownie, sic brains.”
Sweet!
OMG !!! hi-lar-ious !!! i needed that laugh 🙂
Clown. Cherry-flavored clown. No question about it.
Wow…. Thats just perfect. Me and my wife are cracking up right now…:) Also we just happened to be watching TNG. I thought the sweater thing was strictly a Wesley thing.
Jeremy…
That shop is made of win.
My husband doesn’t get it, but I’m like “HAHAHA”
Wackyness. Much win.
That is so great! I just watched Stand by me the other day, but I don’t remember that sweater, lol. Awesome
How ironic that I have that movie playing in the background right now. But without the awesome clown sweater…
We all float down here, Wil. We all float… to paraphrase another King classic.
I’m scared of clowns……… would rather have the leeches on my penis any day!!!!
Another, more applicable, King quote-“No matter how much you shake and dance, the last two drops end up in your pants.” I think the pic and quote say it all.
ins’t there a button for that….
My sweater had a horse on it. The irony of it is that a horse ate the sweater while I was wearing it. I guess he just didn’t like the representation. Stoopid horse.
Brilliant! I was watching Stand By Me on Comcast OnDemand just a couple of hours ago. Still one of the best movies ever.
Dude, you’re going to be *buried* in that gorram sweater!
That sweater should be against the law. I’ve never been particularly frightened of clowns, but after being exposed to Killer Klowns from Outer Space one too many times at a young age they make me homicidal.
Sweater aside, I dig the haircut.
Nah.. its the Killer clown sweater from Derry Maine..
Pennywise is the name deadlights are my game….lol
Where’s Big Bill when you need him?…
I still want to (re?)hear the story of that sweater.
After looking at you in that photo, I find myself having an irresistible urge to see the young you in action in Stephen King’s “It”. 🙂
Josh, I am in complete agreement that the creepy clown sweater. Some lighter fluid and matches would destroy it very efficiently.
A Pennywise sweater. How…lovely.
Oh that is great! Especially as that comes on the heals of me watching Stand By Me again with a friend of mine the other night.
I’m amused and terrified at the same time. Didn’t realise that was possible!
OMG, I almost spit water all over my keyboard when I saw that! If Chopper had seen that sweater, he probably would have run away with his tail between his legs instead of chasing Gordie. 🙂
Yeah, that sweater probably would have scared the piss out of Chopper.
The really sad thing about that sweater is that it probably took someone hundreds of hours to make the stupid thing. I couldn’t help but laugh at this one though.
Alarming. This combines two deeply rooted fears of mine. Clowns, and pictoral sweaters.
Next time Chopper and you too Cory Feldman — just kidding.
Best to all — even u Chopper…
Will
Clowns scare me, but River Phoenix will be forever missed.
Crazy.
I have never seen this movie but everyone keeps telling me to. The other day my friend stopped by and when he left the DVD was sitting on my TV. So it’s here and I was literally minutes away from watching it.
Let’s get started…
You know who aged well? Jerry O’Connell. You look great too, Wil, but you had a big head start on Jerry. Good for him.
I still can’t believe it’s knitted from human hair. Simply incredible.
I don’t want to ruin the movie for you, but it turns out the clown sweater did it.
It looks like you are under the influence of Stephen King’s evil spider thingymabob from “It.” Don’t go in there!
I like how your undershirt matches the clown’s lips. It’s that attention to detail that really makes an outfit.
WOAH!! Dude Wil! Just hit the train scene and you were acting your ass off! Scary shit…
I’ve been thinking in the past days that I need to watch this film again. And now I think I needa watch It right after.
DUDE SPOILERS.
Oh, Wil, let’s not pretend that the whole world doesn’t already know that the clown sweater did it. That’s like claiming that no one’s aware that the ending of “2001” is just a massive ad for Myspace.
DUDE!
Finished.
Wow. I don’t want to kiss your ass TOO much, but the leach scene, the campfire, the final body scene… well done dude. Gonna watch again with the director’s commentary.
Whoa
WTF, closely followed by LOL!
Every time I see you in that shirt, I’m reminded of one line you had in TNG’s ‘The Game’– “Let go of me!”
Oh, I like you, Sean! You’ve got me literally laughing out loud just in time for the drunken neighbors out on their deck to hear me laughing at thin air as far as they’re concerned. First, with the spoilers and then with the sweater being knitted from human hair…OMG, my face hurts, man! Of course my good buddy Wil’s reaction to your spoilers contributed to the laughter, but you’re hilarious!
No, it’s more like WTF?! closely followed by WTF?! again! As if that sweater needed to be even more creepy than it already is. Dammit, now I’m gonna need to sleep with the lights on tonight because Floyd Hansen will be in my dreams wearing that sweater tonight for sure!
Thanks, Danyiel, very kind of you. I have two goals with my posts:
1. To make people laugh.
2. To shame Wil into giving me that sweater.
Sean
Well, Sean, you’ve managed to complete one goal on your agenda. But I must ask you what you intend on doing with that sweater after shaming Wil into giving it to you. And one other thing — whose hair is the sweater made from? I’m dying in anticipation of finding out who was victimized to make that hideous thing possible!
Clowns scare me. A lot.
Mr. Wheaton, this is definitely off topic, but I didn’t know where else to post it: I want to thank you for your series of blogposts about running 4th edition D&D for your son and his friends. Today I ran Keep on the Shadowfell for my friend’s two young nieces, as well as the rest my gaming group, which has been a little reticent to upgrade our 5+ year campaign to new rules. I had to keep things fun and balanced for a group that ranged from a 9-year-old newbie to my regular DM who started roleplaying before I was alive. I turned you your posts for inspiration and good common sense.
I’m making a note here: The game was a huge success. I’m glad to have had a hand in starting two bright girls on the path to being third generation gamers–I know, three generations!–and injecting some fun into our group. Thanks again for writing as both gamer and dad, and letting your enthusiasm show. You gave me a +2 bonus to courage!
