More than you ever wanted to hear from Jenny Crusie.

Addendum: Bob Said Daft, Heh Heh

Comment from Bob on Argh Ink Blog, 12/11/05:
“I have never used the word ‘daft’.”

E-mail from Jenny, 12/11/05, 10:11:
“You used the word “daft.” You may have been quoting Terry, but you used it, because I was surprised you used it.
Of course, I don’t think I have that e-mail anymore.”

E-mail from Bob, 12/11/05, 10:14:
“nope
never have”

E-mail from Jenny, 12/11/05 10:19:
“Yes, you did. I remember it.
Jeez.”

E-mail from Bob, 12/11/05. 10:21:
“Nope.”

E-mail from Jenny, 12/11/05, 10:25:
“Middle of fourth paragraph. HA.”
Followed by entire text of e-mail from Sept. 14 2004 that includes this line:
” “I listened to you present in Maui and the old– I don’t outline, I just write draft after draft stuck me as kind of daft– pardon the pun. It’s a hell of a lot easier to work all this stuff out in outline than draft.”

E-mail from Bob, 12/11/05, 10:30:
“too long– i don’t read past the first line”

E-mail from Bob, 12/11/05, 10:30:
“I didn’t call you daft
i said what you did was daft”

E-mail from Jenny, 12/11/05, 10:31:
“I believe the blog says, “I have never used the word ‘daft.”

E-mail from Bob, 12/11/05, 10:33:
“ok”

E-mail from Bob, 12/11/05, 10:33:
“we really need lives”

E-mail from Jenny, 12/11/05, 10:40:
“I know. It’s so sad.”

This is going to be so much easier when we’re both doing the same blog on the Crusie/Mayer site.

    this is great, e-watching you two spar. Are you sure you’re not a couple of characters in a book?

    Dueling bloggers- did you say this idea was going to help you be MORE efficient or less efficient? Hee, hee. I can see the sparring battles that take up most of a blogging day over words like “daft” “disingenuous”, or “reptilian” (don’t ask where I came up with those- I’m not even sure)

    Ditto what Susan said. The blog (your), the comments (his), the unruly but avid fans (us) it’s a book, it’s a movie, it’s a TV series!!!

    I even re-read posts and comments. Especially when I’m having a bad day at work.

    I love cyber space!!

    I think Bob ought to be charged with daft evasion, which will cause him to flee to Canada…

    I think the verification letters today spell out something extremely nasty in Welsh.

    It’s a not so well-kept secret that those of us Crusie-ites, who can’t wait for the next book, come here for our Crusie fixes when life gets to us.

    Not quite as good as a book, but an antidote to life’s little miseries, nonetheless.

    Daft! Hah.

    The blogs keep me going between publications.

    You guys ROCK!

  7. Brandy on December 11th, 2005 at 10:09 am

    You could publish your blog entries into a book and fans would line up to buy them. Promise!

    As someone who has group-blogged, I can assure you that the “this” of “This is going to be so much easier” had better refer to “wasting time & having a good time sniping back and forth,” because that’s all a combination blog does.

    i’m so excited to see you two on the Crusie/Mayer blog….these help me get through my work day without randomly falling asleep, instead i just burst into laughter ;)

  10. A Girl Named Shawn on December 12th, 2005 at 10:11 am

  11. Edie on December 19th, 2005 at 10:11 am

    LOL. As usual, the man was wrong and the woman right.
