#267: Luther's Nine To Five Theses

Halloween's a-comin' and so's Reformation Day...Lots of folks have heard of Luther's Ninety Five Theses that started the Reformation back in 1517, but did you ever wonder what one might find in his Day-Timer?
Here's a guess from various historical evidence and wild eyed extrapolation from same:

9am...Drink beer, eat bratwurst and kraut, praise God.
10am...Castigate in writing everything Papal.
11am...Reduce castigations to only 95.
12 noon...Drink beer, eat bratwurst and kraut, praise God, flatulate towards Rome.
1pm...Choose among pet names for Frau..."Katie My Rib" seems best so far.
2pm...Check on prayers said from 5am to 9am, drink another beer.
(Note: hurled ink well at cloven hoofed Enemy while temporarily off guard.)
3pm...Resolve and make notes to do justice, love mercy, walk humbly before my God and belch copiously.
4pm...Figure out just why the Church Fathers allowed the Book of James in the canon.
5pm...Give Table Talk, drink beer, eat knockwurst, potatoes and kraut, praise God.
Got pumpkin carved to look like Old Marty?
