“Quick notes from Germany to help assuage your envy: 1. Beer of any kind is best in the shade of the brewery. 2. Yes, that inludes Pilsner Urquell, Tilt. 3. The pig is a magic animal. It gives us sausage and schnitzel. 4. People love Michael Moore here, for some reason. 5. I have yet to see a single hairy armpit on any topless beach. 6. Renting a mercedes in Germany really isn't very expensive at all. 7. The autobahn is fun. See you people later!” 4:52:07 AM 7/09/04 “Oh, and speaking of Pilsner Urquell: http://www.biersekte.de/onlinespiele/pilsner_urquell.htm Not safe for work. Unless you really suck.” 4:57:21 AM 7/09/04 “Ha! I thought you were talking about drinking on the job or something, LOL This is maddening!!! <GRRRrrrrr>” 6:16:13 AM 7/09/04 “good to see ya check in there. My sis lived in Munster for five years. She had mixed reviews, manly cause she didn't bother learn to language. Have fun!” 6:51:48 AM 7/09/04 “Im welcher stadt sind sie?” 7:16:27 AM 7/09/04 “Ein Bier, bitte, gross!” 7:16:49 AM 7/09/04 “German Beer Girls - YES!” 7:26:11 AM 7/09/04 “Good to hear from ya !” 8:09:45 AM 7/09/04 “hahaha, no more hairy armpits??? surpries me, because they had them. Trust me!! I guess they learned. I rented a mercedes once down there and it was cheap. Yeah, but did you fill her up?? gas prices are nuts down there. die autobahn is more then fun!! did you learn that if you turn on your signal on the left lane, the car before you will let you go by?? I don't like beer. Not even the german beer. Well, I like it after a hike. but try stuttgarter hoffbrau (if they have it in your area) I wanna go!! I just talked to my sister yesterday, and it's time to go back and visit family. Well, maybe around christmas.” 8:49:27 AM 7/09/04 “Ja, haben ze fun. Leikeim X-Lager iss der bier!” 8:51:16 AM 7/09/04 “Aaaaaah! Ich liebe das Kristkindlesmarkt im Nurnberg! Ich muste wieder zum Deutchland gehen!!!!! How'mI doing Gemini? It's been a long time. ;-)” 8:52:37 AM 7/09/04 “Many years ago I went to Germany (among other places in Europe). In Munich, I met up with an acquaintance, who dropped me at her favorite beer garden (she and her hubby had opera tickets or something). It was great. However, I still have no idea how I was able to find my way back to the hotel, if you know what I mean. The next day, I couldn't figure out how my gigantic throbbing head could actually fit through the subway doors. I went to the science museum, where, in one demonstration, they created lightning (and thunder, of course) to demonstrate the purpose of lightning rods. I didn't speak much German, but noticed everyone putting their hands over their ears at one point. Then, BOOM! Ow! No more beer gardens for me!” 9:03:41 AM 7/09/04 “hi Phaedypoo! glad you're having fun. :-) so did you bare your boobies at the topless beach?? lol” 9:07:17 AM 7/09/04 “i spent 3 years in bavaria i loved it hefe-weizen is my favorite beer sam adams makes a half way decent weizen, but the best i've had in the states is gizzly wulff weizen made in montana. mercendes are jokes, BMW's aint that special either. i laugh whenever i see one and i think how sad it is that people need such status symbols. in germany a ford explorer costs as much as a BMW.” 9:09:42 AM 7/09/04 “Phaedy has man-boobs?!” 9:12:25 AM 7/09/04 and also: “germans love david hasselhof.” 9:13:04 AM 7/09/04 “nothing wrong with a little man-boobage, Bowlder, you lush! LOLOLOL ;-)” 9:15:07 AM 7/09/04 “I lived there for a couple of years also. Loved it. The bier, the wine, the people, the scenery, the traditions! sacco, where in Bavaria did you live. I lived in Ansbach. Mittlebayern.” 9:15:54 AM 7/09/04 “Grin and bare it ---” 9:20:24 AM 7/09/04 “oKay....first got to get this clear: German's do NOT, I repeat do NOT like David Hasselhoff. None of us besides my friend, and she still denies it, love David Hasselhoff. No way!!! NO NO Way!! Dhutch, you still are doing great. Didn't know you speak German. I love the Kristkindelmarkt and a cup of hot gluhwein.” 9:21:03 AM 7/09/04 “Hey Gaby. I thought of you last night. I was watching Larry King Live, and they had John Kerry, and his wife on. She talks a lot like you. :)” 9:22:45 AM 7/09/04 “denial is the first sign of a true problem, you know....” 9:24:15 AM 7/09/04 “Lyra likes man-boobs! Nyaa nyaa nyaa nyaa!” 9:29:47 AM 7/09/04 “Mmmmmmm! Gluhwein, great after a snowy hike! We still make it at home. Plus it makes the house smell great.” 9:32:16 AM 7/09/04 “honestly, I never understood how anyone can say they love the people. I think Germans's are among the unfriendliest people out there. Really now... I must've been living in the wrong area. Towndawg: hmmm, you were thinking about me last night?? really? ;)” 9:33:16 AM 7/09/04 “germans LOVE david hasselhof !!! gluhwein smells great, but i never cared for the taste very much. i've been to ansbach. i lived in bamberg. used to go to nurnberg all the time. the little gyros stand near the old wall and green goose bar was THE BEST. i hated green goose bars though. used to go mountain biking all the time through the little swiss area. man, it was gorgeous.” 9:38:02 AM 7/09/04 “Gemini: hehe.. quit, you making me blush!” 9:38:19 AM 7/09/04 “where were you gem? i don't think germans are unfriendly at all. there are just some culteral differences. ex1 ) they don't say, "hi" and wave to strangers. you can sit next to someone on a 3 hour train ride and they they might never say a word to you. ex 2) they think much of waiting in lines. to them, budging ahead is fair game if you aren't paying attention. but... go to a volksfest ! you've got to love any group of people, when you can cram 300 drunk-outta-their-gords people in a tent made for 50 and party all night without seeing a single fight. (unless their are americans there) also, you can be a total stanger at a volksfest, and by the end of the night you'll know everyone at your table of 20 people. alcohol makes americans #&%!$s. alcohol makes germans the friendlist folks ever.” 9:45:00 AM 7/09/04 “ unless their are americans there there,not their” 9:47:02 AM 7/09/04 “I found the German people friendly one on one. Especially when I was attempting to utilize my German. As I was practicing their language, they were practicing their English. lol” 10:13:32 AM 7/09/04 “well, now you are talking about a drunk german, totally different story. :) I am talking about a rushed german, they are always in a hurry, everything needs to go perfect and fast. I hate to go shopping in germany. Unfriendly as heck. Belive me, I am german...I know... :) I was born in the stuttgart area. (schwabenlaendle) I heard they are even unfriendlier. My dad is from bavaria,small town of Viechtach) my mom is from the Main/Rhein area. They are friendlier there too I guess. :)” 10:37:04 AM 7/09/04 “"well, now you are talking about a drunk german, totally different story. :)" many americans are very grumpy without their coffee. germans are grumpy without their beer. caffine vs. alcohol. the nice thing about shopping in germany is they include the tax in the price. it's nice to not have to do the math if your a little tight on the cash. oh, and my dads from austria.” 11:41:51 AM 7/09/04
