I can’t wait to learn what your sales are in Germany when they labeled you a psycho and turned the mouse into dracula.

Every time I read your blog I cry. From laughing so hard. It annoys both my wife and 9 year old daughter, so I do it as often as possible.

I chose a bad time to take a mouthful of dinner and that is when I read “What’s With The Night War, Stinky?”

Said food is now not in my mouth anymore.

I just ran “Let’s pretend this never happened” through Bad Translator. After 15 translations it gave me “If the owner is absent, it is in their words”. The Bad Translator website, incidentally, is cracking my shit up tonight.

Congratulations! You should know that German magazines are generally much less conservative than American magazines. You get nudes and cuss words in ‘regular’ magazines and the main teen magazines all have sex q&a columns. The US is considered pretty puritanical, so actually your book fits right in there

I recently saw mention of your book in the comments on a tumblr post about cow fisting. Okay, technically it was about checking them to see if they’re pregnant, but the post preceding it was a guy with an octopus stuck to his junk (hentai—don’t ask me to explain how I know that because I’m just now able to reduce my meds), and all I could think of was WHAT A MORNING! Cow fisting AND Hentai AND now Jenny’s book gets mentioned because why wouldn’t it? Btw, miss yer face.

It actually means ” That’s not true, right?”.

@34 yeah uhm.. No. Psycho actually isnt pronounced “pseecho”.

The y is pronounced the same way we pronounce “ü”. The same way the French pronounce both “u” in “Tutu”. Prioblem is that you guys in the US pronounce it “Tootoo” because you hate the Fench so whatever

At least US English isnt’t defiling foreign words like The Japanese do. They have their own set of signs just for phonetically spelling goreign languages. Example?

This is “love letter” in Japanese.
????

It reads “rabureta” and they speak it, of course, labuleta. Because of the r/l thing.

First time I read that I couldn’t stop laughing for 30 minutes straight. I had to read something sad because My stomach started hurting

But I digress. Greetings from Germany , somewhere north of the Weißwurstäquator

I love the Germans! I have sold more in Germany than in America, and if they like you, they must have a very good (unique) sense of humor.

From Belgium here, but I grew up with a German stepmother – who was all thing considered far worse than the wicked witch of the west. Sorry Germans, my view on you might be prejudiced.
Either way, I translate it as:

That is not true
…
(dramatic pause)
….
or is it?

And dayum, yes it is. Or at least, mostly.
Or so you say.

My new typical people greeting is now officially “What’s with the night war, Stinky?”. I hope you don’t mind.

I’m becoming worried that you’ve stapled that cat to that couch. He hangs there a LOT.
