26 days until manuscript delivery

This is what happens when I instant-message with Eden. We try to work on our book then we start talking about nicknames and then everything goes black.

(I have deleted the parts where we sent animated emoticons to each other, back and forth, for hours. You're welcome.)

kennedy_mrs: I had a roommate try to call me Ede. Oh how I laughed behind her back.

kennedy_mrs: My old boss calls me Edie Gourmet. It's the only nickname that's truly haunted me my entire life.

finslippy: OOF

kennedy_mrs: Sometimes he just calls me Gourmet.

kennedy_mrs: No, it's okay, coming from him. He's a goof.

finslippy: I had a camp counselor call me Milton Bradley, and I wanted to kill him.

kennedy_mrs: LOL

finslippy: Then he started calling me Milton. Then Milt.

finslippy: Not what a 12-year-old GIRL wants to be called. NOT AT ALL.

finslippy: Chapter 11 is done. DONE!

kennedy_mrs: chapter 11 is done!!

finslippy: I mean, I think.

kennedy_mrs: Good enough

finslippy: MY THOUGHTS ARE IMPORTANT

finslippy: I MEAN SOMETHING

kennedy_mrs: you have a dream!

finslippy: I am exactly like Martin Luther King Jr!

finslippy: Actually more like Martin Luther

kennedy_mrs: Milton Luther

finslippy: Oh dear.

kennedy_mrs: Uncle Milty Luther

kennedy_mrs: funny, right? are you laughing? WHY AREN'T YOU LAUGHING?

finslippy: HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAHHRERERWER

finslippy: If I made a board game out of the Reformation, then I would really be MILTON LUTHER

kennedy_mrs: god you're so intellectual

finslippy: You know it.

finslippy: Did you chuckle and/or nod with a wry smile?

kennedy_mrs: uh

finslippy: DID YOU

kennedy_mrs: the only thing I remember about martin luther is that he nailed 99 somethings to a church door, and this upset the diet of worms

kennedy_mrs: 99 theses

finslippy: HA HA DIET OF WORMS

kennedy_mrs: HA HA WORMS

kennedy_mrs: Germany is a mysterious land

Ha! I chuckled AND nodded with a wry smile. Ya'll are fun.

[The Bug]

I love reading humor from smart people. Heh.

[zan]

I'm no expert on Reformation, but what I do know is that now I can't get "99 Problems" out of my head. Jay-Z: a modern day Martin Luther?

I love you guyses.

[Marinka]

You're not right. But you're funny.

[Mrs. D]

Harharhar! I love me some religious humor.

[Quickwittedandwitty.blogspot.c]

So funny! Aren't fake productive days the best?

[Daddy Scratches]

You realize you just wrote a pilot for the new show "Instant Messaging," which is 23 minutes of a split-screen featuring you and Eden and the chat window you're typing in?

No one steal that; I'm filing for the TV rights as we speak.

[Mammy_P]

99 problems of worms on the door, 99 problems of wormmmmmmmssssss... take one down, pass it around, 98 problems of worms on the door.

98 problems of worms on the door, 98 problems of wormmmmmmmmmssss....

Smiling and chuckling...signs of post-partum dementia or vast intellectual brilliance?

[Sue from Navel Gazing at its F]

I love instant messaging with funny people.

[BlabberMouse]

STOP IT with your making me feel like the high school wallflower, nose pressed to glass of cool kid lounge, thinking "I want to be friends with THOSE girls."

You two are hilarious.

Can't wait 'til that book comes out.

[Diana]

Hey! Your devoted German readers ask for more respect... ok, mysterious is alright. Thank you for brightening my day. I studied in Marburg and they had a little outdoor theater production each year about dear old drunk Luther... Who once asked something dinner-relevant like "Why do you not fart and burp, was the food not to your taste?"hihi

Gute Nacht!

[Aimee Giese]

As a German, I am thinking "Germany is a mysterious land" should be your new tagline.

[Candace]

Pull this little bit of knowledge out at a party and see how quickly you can shut down conversation (in my case it was about 4 seconds): Martin Luther didn't actually nail his 95 Theses to the church door. It was more like a flier campaign.

I know. It's a little anti-climactic.

[Erin (Snarke)]

This makes me feel so much better about the conversation I had about fish sticks over twitter with my sister in law last week!

[Alexandra]

How heavensent to have someone who gets your sense of humor and loves it!!

It's hard when you're really being funny and no one is getting it. Except you, who keeps saying it, cuz it's so dang funny.

Cannot wait for the book!

[Named my kid Calvin]

Need that Reformation Board Game!

[Ilsa]

As the daughter of a Lutheran minister, I love this post. A lot.

[LiteralDan]

I still remember the day our history teacher discussed the Diet of Worms-- "'Vurms', sir? Nice try, but this class period is now over. Diet of worms it is."

I need to work this into more conversations so I can be cooler. You guys are considered "cool" by cool people, right? Right?
