Reasons I haven't done anything today

1. I barely got up in time for my 9:15 class today. I hadn't read "Benito Cereno," and I didn't care.


2. Jenn didn't want to go to hers, which meant I wouldn't have had a ride anyway, which meant I wouldn't have gotten to school in time even if I'd left when I woke up, and I thought it would be wise to at least take a shower and put on clothes first. So I did that instead of going to class. Not that it woudl have mattered because...


3. When Jenn and I actually tried to use her car, it didn't start. Too cold. Stupid winter!


4. Checking the Star Tribune online I found an article about the existence of Martin Luther bobblehead dolls. From oldlutheran.com. They actually have lots of crazy stuff there.

Now, for anyone who doesn't already know, Lutherans are weird. They're proud of having eaten lutefisk. They say "hotdish," never "casserole"! They're known for being fond of Jell-O. And they like websites like this one, on which you can make your very own Lutheran mad lib. Like this:

The Christian Church during the early 1492's underwent, in western Asia, a reformation. The leading exponent of the reformation was Bob Dylan. The reformation movement ultimately lead to a complete split between the reformers and the ACLU; those who joined the reformers were later called purple as they protested the authority over the Church maintained by Fred. Those who follow the theology of Martin Luther, the Augsburg Confession and the Book of Concord are called slimy. Lutheranism has been the predominant denomination in Spain, and Nebraska where it is the established (state) church. Lutheran denominations are also prominent in North America. The Lutheran Church began with an emphasis on lollipop, car, shoe and underwear that continues to this day.

I played two games of Battleship against Martin Luther and lost them both.

But my favorite part is You Might Be a Lutheran If. ( I laughed so much at some of these that Jenn thought there was something wrong with me. )

I think this is entirely enough Lutheran silliness for one day. I need to go do something unsilly now: clean the bathroom.
