Welcome to another Authors at Google talk.

Today we have Nick Offerman to talk about his book

He's going to start off with a few songs,

NICK OFFERMAN: I'll go ahead and just whip out a couple songs

to get us in a mirthful mood, and then we'll

NICK OFFERMAN: My wife turned 50 a few years ago,

and she asked me for a rainbow for her birthday.

And then I realized I could make a rainbow out of art.

And my friend CornMo.com helped me set it to chords.

And he's much more entertaining than I am.

[MUSIC - NICK OFFERMAN, "THE RAINBOW SONG"]

NICK OFFERMAN: I posed for that font in 1996.

I have two big-screen TVs, both with shots

of all of you in case I need some perspective, apparently.

Looking at you this way is too daunting, so-- what else

My friend Corn Mo, actually, suggested to me

that I write an album of songs, all with woodworking themes.

And we laughed, quaffed our seventh beer at McSorley's Pub.

And so this is the first song from that forthcoming album.

Thank you to Kristie for loaning me her guitar.

NICK OFFERMAN: My final offering for today's lunchtime

If you can't find a piece of philosophy in this,

Thanks for indulging us with song and a little bit of dance

NICK OFFERMAN: Thank you for having me, Google.

And I would like to also say thank you to the local chef

Bill Billenstein for filling my gullet with delicious meats

The name of the book is "Paddle Your Own Canoe,"

but this is actually a canoe that's you've built yourself.

INTERVIEWER: That was a leading question, yeah.

Would you like to hear a little bit about it?

My wife was doing a Broadway show some years ago,

and we don't live apart for more than two weeks.

Actors that work a lot, which we're lucky enough

to be sometimes, often have their relationships

What I'm saying is I turned down the role of Frodo Baggins

I went with Megan to live in New York, which

And I had been looking for an opportunity

And it was one of the greatest things I've ever gotten to do.

Although if you're going to do it in this neighborhood,

Well, they're opening up the LA river, supposedly, for--

Some of it looks very much like where Danny Zuko raced Greased

Lightnin' down the sides of the LA river, which is badass.
