Subject: Merry & Pippin hit the small time - published!
Written By: Peregrin on 01/26/06 at 12:19 am
Yes ! Published :o
Before either of us get too carried away :P it is in a book entitled "A Georgia Native Plant Guide" :D
The parody in question is : That Kudzu Vine
Fame and fortune are soon to come our way ;D Well, no fortune, and precious little fame either :)
How this came about was, over a couple of years ago now (I think), Meriadoc was contacted by a woman (the author) who was researching Kudzu plants for her book. She had googled Kudzu Vine and had the parody appear :)
She asked if she could use the parody as the intro to the Kudzu and Cogongrass section of her book. Why not indeed?
So we said yes, and a couple of long years later, the book is published. She was kind enough to put our names alongside the parody, and also in the acknowledgements section. So, if you are wondering who we are, all you have to do is find a copy of the book :) Easy :D
She was also kind enough to send us each a copy of the finished product :)

That's pretty cool!
As someone who has only seen Kudzu in pictures, I've always found it fascinating. I'm also quite happy I don't have to contend with it up here in the north!

Take it where you can get it, and flaunt it if you got it.
To one in parodies! Ag

Congratulations!
Luke, you should be ashamed of yourself! That was a horrible pun! I, for one, don't know anything about kudzu (or any other plant). Probably because I've never bot-any.

;D ;D I was gonna make the same observation to Luke, but then I thought :
Vine is not to question why :P ::) :D

Grape job getting your parody published!!! I'd love to read that book!!! Actually, I'd be pretty bored reading a book about Kudzu plants... so I'd love to read that parody, again...

Congrats, Hobbitses!
Now I want my money back on my North Dakota Native Plant Guide. No M&P parodies in that one, dammit!
Big question: Did the author credit your work to "Merry and Pippin"?

:) ND, huh? Maybe Kudzu hasn't found it's way there yet :)
Big answer: Yes, the author did, and also to our real names. :) What the author didn't do ( :( as I understood she was going to), was to put our website address in as well :\'(
But she tells me there is a revision coming out, and she will put it in there :D

If you put this out a while ago, when your identities were more of a mystery, that would've been an extra incentive for people here to buy it

You have a su doku link on your site. That is an egregious offense that shall be punished to the full extent of my power. Which is nothing.
