Me: No. I'm sleeping Josh. Now bugger off.
J: But it was a special person's b-day yesterday!
Me: *Rolls over* Who?
J: *Does a frustrated dance* HEATHERRRR! Duh.

Sal: Well why didn't you say so sooner! Only one problem. Heather lives in Canada. I live in the UK. It's a long way away. How can we celebrate with her?

J: Leave it to me!

Josh sends up a beam of light with his finger. Rather like ET. And before Sally knew what was happening...

Sal: Where are we...?
J: In Vancouver stoopid. And over there... I see Heather!
S: WHOOOOO HEATHER!!!! OVER HERE!!!

*Heather skips over*
H: Hi Josh! Hi Sal!
S: I think I'll leave you two alone *lovespanks*

J: Wanna snuggle with me and my silly scarf?

H: Sure! I love snuggling with scarves. Especially when they are attached to hot me! You look weird... Have you been drinking?
J: No. I'm just... ahem... dazzled by your brilliance.
J: Wanna play a game with me?
H: Sure. What?
J: Wii Fit! I love this!

H: Sexy sox Groban...
J: Ah. You know you just wanna rip them off me.
H: *Blushes* How did you know?
J: I'm psychic. Wanna make out?

H: *Growls* You don't need to ask me twice boy!

*Heather and Josh then proceed to make lots of curly-haired Grobabies that sing like angels and have an eye for interior design*

The End.

Happy birthday Heather!

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 21:08:46 GMT

Y'know, if we don't want to be associated with the crazies, I think the best thing to do is show off our own positive spin on being Grobanites. So let's start here: what things has being a Josh fan inspired you to do? Post it here! I have a bunch:

I made this.
I named my fish Sweeney
extd_grb_injoke was Josh-inspired, although I never finished it.

I know I've seen everything from cross-stitch to scrapbooking posted in this community, so let's collect it all in this post!

couldn't resist..

Just throwin' the idea out there...

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 18:42:37 GMT

saranet and sheroaredback both suggested on my last entry that we come up with something other than "Grobanite" to refer to ourselves, since that particular title has become associated with so much wank and drama. Does anyone have any ideas? We should probably also come up with a good collective noun for ourselves as well. Ideas?

*creeps off back into lurkdom*

I thought this was amusing...

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 14:39:34 GMT

And I couldn't think of a better place to post it.

Some of you may know that I've been trying to turn my mother into a fan of Our Dear Josh (I'm starting to dislike using the word "Grobanite," because it's developing some bad connotations these days). While she'd listen to him, she - for some strange reason - flat-out refused to actually watch him. Well, I've made some progress in that respect.

I got my mother to watch Josh yesterday. I actually got her to sit down and watch his segment of "Live at Abbey Road" (which I'd taped off the Sundance Channel some while ago). And, in spite of herself, she liked it - she was very impressed with his range.

But what amused me most was what she said the first time he appeared on screen. "Oh!" she said. "He's young!"

Um, yeah, Mom. He is. ^_^

Highly amusing tongue in cheek article- Josh and James Blunt!

Sat, 12 Jul 2008 01:58:24 GMT

Josh Groban and James Blunt to cage-fight to the death

HANOI. Music aficionados have welcomed the announcement that floppy-haired pop crooners Josh Groban and James Blunt will fight to the death in a steel cage in front of an audience of Thai and Vietnamese gamblers. Organisers said punters are looking forward to seeing "how humble and cute they still are when they've got thumbs in their eye-sockets".

Fans of classic rock hailed the match-up as a major step forward in musical history, and tickets are reportedly being snapped up by pundits who are being promised an "extremely bloody encounter between the two most irritating girlyboys in pop music".

Fight promoter Soon Yang Wok said the idea for the fight came to him in a Swiss hotel.

"They were playing Josh's greatest hits in the lift, and then James's in the lobby, and I suddenly thought, 'What those two great artists really need is to have their faces mashed into the wall of a steel cage while hundreds of South East Asian gamblers scream abuse and throw grubby dollar bills into the bloody sawdust under their feet'."

He said both Groban and Blunt were interested in the fight, and were trying to rearrange recording commitments.

According to their respective agents, Groban is currently recording an album focussing on chunky woollen sweaters and kissing milkmaids on the cheek in Irish meadows, while Blunt's new album, entitled 'Me, Me, Me, Me, Why Aren't You Looking At Me, Can't You See I'm The Most Modest and Funny Bloke In The Room, You Middle-Class Twat?' is due for release later this year.

Meanwhile bookmakers say they are struggling to calculate odds ahead of the fight.

"They're almost completely indistinguishable," said a spokesman for Ladbrokes.

"They've got the same hair, they wear the same clothes, they've got the same irritating white-boy lameness, and they've both got eyes that are slightly too close together, like prawns."

However he said that Blunt's bigger gums could help him "if it came to that".

Promoter Wok said he too expected a close-fought affair, and said it was unlikely that both crooners would survive the bout.

However, he said, if one of them did survive, he would "probably be fed to pigs, just in case".

He added that the feasting pigs would be recorded professionally, and sampled for possible commemorative remixes of Groban and Blunt chart-toppers.

High quality pictures?

Sat, 12 Jul 2008 00:07:06 GMT

Hi all of you lovely people again.
I need your assistance, since I dub you all experts. I need to find HQ pictures (you know, laaaaaaaarge images with at least 1000 px on one side) of Josh. I'm member of this RPG forum and I'm trying to persuade them to make a Josh Groban scheme ;) There seems to be quite a lot of MQ pics or LQ pics but... I've only found about half a handful of high quality pics

Help? :D

I can offer pretend cookies :D And lots of Internet love :D And possibly a wallpaper made by yours truly as thanks to anyone to helps me out :D
