Was ist das?!?!?!


Anyone for a bowl of maggots? Really, they ARE tasty!
Nah, just kidding. They aren't really maggots, they are Spätzle. Spätzle (pronounced Sh-pets-la) is a Schwäbish kind of pasta that is made of eggs, flour, and salt. They are kick arse, and especially good when made into a Bavarian dish called Käsespätzle (cheese spätzle).


A bitchin' stylin' vest that we found in Karstadt (a store in Darmstadt). This would be ok if it was in the chicks section, and they wore it kinda small with their shirt haning out the bottom (it was the style of the time), but this was in the DUDES section! Ivy-league rowing crew, anyone? Shall we adjourn to the smoking room for a snifter cognac and a fine cigar?


Sideways hanging jeans. Why not just use the frickin' top of the jeans so they hang like they wear? Or would that just be too easy?
But if you think that is bad, they do it with jumpers too! I didn't get a pic of it, but picture one of the sleeves all bunched up over the top of the coathanger, the neck kinda parallel to the floor, and the other arm pointing straight down at the floor. Surely it is easier to hang it the Australian way, right?


Hehehehehe....noblesse mens' jocks. If they are knobless, then what is that lump in the front?!?! Bratwurst mit kartoffeln anybody?


Who is that sexy man?!?!?!? And where did he get such a wonderful hat?!?!?! Gotta love a good winter baseball cap, complete with ear flaps! :)


Yeah, it's unfortunate, but my name is actually a German word. What have I become?!?!?!?
So far we have found me as a Schneiderbrett (chopping board), Surfbrett (surf board), a cat scratching board (can't remember what it's called), etc... It is important that I introduce myself as Ich bin der Brett, and not Ich bin das Brett. May seem very similar...but it has VERY different meanings.


DUDE! WHERE'S MY CAR?


Mmmmm..Schokolade mit Voll-Nuss (chocolate with full-nuts)... It must be healthy because it says "Sport" on it! DON'T TELL BELINDA!!!!

Anyway, that's enough of that for now.

Bis später. Tschüß!

Actually (and this will sound like the picky German coming out in me, perhaps because I am indeed that) the clothes hang sideways so you can read the size label without having to rip the thing off the hanger.

Cheers

Ok...fair call. Still looks stupid though! :)

Gosh, it's as if you're in a totally different country!

I have a lounge named after me, in Taipei. (I occasionally have the sign as my MSN pic.) Used to be really popular 3 or 4 years ago, but is kinda ho-hum now. How reflective of me, huh.

Nope, sorry, I don't care if it is so you can see the labels better. Its stupid.
All conform to the perfect Australian way of doing things.

Was going to make some comment about being as thick as two "brett"s but I thought I wouldn't.
