Ha, very funny stuff. Too bad he felt he needed to explain the "All your barn are belong to us" quote. I feel, as a geek, that you never explain that one. Just let the insiders chuckle.
There's a cussing problem for Christian writers? I must not have gotten the memo. No WONDER my book was such a gigantic gzbr failure!
Mark, I'd written a comment here but it did not post. It was basically asking the question (may have asked before) should we be Christian writers or writers who are Christians? Do we limit our output to Christian publications or publish where we earn the most (if we're doing this to support our families) and can have the widest circulation? Just a few questions the blog entry made me think of while laughing. -Sam
Randy sez: By the way, it was my editor who felt the need to explain "All Your Barn Are Belong To Us." That wasn't in my original article.
One of my loyal blog readers claims that some Amish do use cell phones on the grounds that "they don't use electricity." I am of course shocked, shocked. Not that the Amish would use cell phones, but that they would lie to themselves about electricity. Um, what else would they use? Strings? The power of self-deception is alive and well among those pesky Amish. This should be grist for another column.

And, btw, your book was not a failure in my house. I love it. I tend to read it when I'm feeling down. Or when I want to hear a real voice.
