"Döner ohne Tomaten und Pepperoni, mit scharf, Knoblauchsoße"  And Worktroll we talk about kebab, not burger Ah, we can get doner kebab - obviously the umlaut is a prohibited import. Usually with lettuce, onion & tomato. Or the souvlaki - similar, except the meat is pieces grilled not shaved off, and with lettuce, onion, tomato and tzatziki. Still wish Catalyst would (could!) fly me to Essen. Been waaay too long since I haunted Munich & Hamburg. Do they still have the Hister's at Hamburg Airport? W. |

People, we're talking about Essen... that means to fully make yourself known as a complete idiot, you'll have to order "Mantaplatte" there. Especially when it's rather apparent that you're not part of the regiolect and locale. I mean it even works with people from within Germany. |

Meh, I don't drink alcohol and I can order chevapcici or pleskavic more fluently than most Germans.
Are you aware that Beer in Germany is not considered alcohol, but supplemental food?  They have that for breakfast over there, you know...  |

Yeah... but well... err.. in the part of Germany where they do that, they also have scalded veal sausage with sweet mustard and pretzels for breakfast. Accompanied by a tasty wheat beer. BTW, current surveys suggest, that the consumption of beer per head has dropped somewhat over here in Germany. |

Yes, well, it's a recession, and our beer is expansive . . not that cheap stuff from the other side of the puddle ^^
Also, yes, i think we still have that Hister at the Airport . . and now we have a new train connecting to the airport too ^^

Oh, you really miss out on something, if you don't know the jokes about Bavaria Bavaria has a tendency to do their own thing. For example: We have rotating school vacations, so that not every state has it's major vacation time at the same time and everybody has his holidays at the high of summer at some point. But Bavaria just ignores this and makes at vacations whenever they want. Additionally they threaten regularly to secede from Germany, whenever something doesn't go as they wanted it to go (around every other month) Thus leading to the joke, that Bavaria is a foreign country and several similar ones |

Ugh. Please dont go around spreading that clichee, even if its just in jest. As Ive sen posting on an alternate histroy forum, do you know how difficult to get rid of the "Bavaria will secede from Germany any time, in any point of history" clichee is? Aahh, It's always fun to watch the denizens of the large northern canton bashing each other With 26 or so cantons on an area the size of a German state, I would think you are an even more disunited lot |

Bavaria will be roofed and declared the worlds largest loony bin ^^ Also: nobody wants to build a wall! . . . . . . A nice and deep trench on the other hand? ^^ |

Okay, granted, "every other month" was far overstated. But Stoiber threatened two or three times to do that and it happened in the passt, too. So it's not a complete lie |

How can that joke of a person NOT be funny? ^^ Nothing political from me. Nope, no sire. Nothing. I try to be completely unpolitical. |

Worktroll - all funny, no worries. Some people just need to shut up and stick their dislike for bavarians where the sun does not shine, if you know what I mean  . Just drool about the german breakfast that you won't get... |

Yeah, these days the most problematic thing about Bavaria is that damn football club in Munich named for the state |

If you had the Choice between Bavaria and my beloved Hamburg and you chose Bavaria, you are most definitely not right in the head . . or at least, you have bad taste in this matter ^^

Yo, WT... seeing you're an Aussie I took some time and looked on the net, and here's what I found:
http://www.wurstman.com.au/Besides Munich Weisswurst, you can actually order almost everything you need for a nice German "Brotzeit".  So, chances are, you actually can kinda copy a Munich breakfast, if you get pretzels and sweet mustard. |

Okay, because it's totally non-political, here goes. "Oh, mutti, where are Grandfather's ashes?"
"In the hourglass on the mantlepiece. Grandfather must work, all we Saxons must work ..." (Hey, I never said it was a good joke ...) W. |

Why would a Hamburger Boy (oops, any similarity with a certain American fastfood is intentional) understand a joke about Saxons... |

It's a play on the supposed traditional dour, work-oriented life-view of the average Saxon. No rest, even when you're dead ... W. |

Because Saxons are basically what rednecks and hillbillies are to the average fat american i gues *grins* It's a play on the supposed traditional dour, work-oriented life-view of the average Saxon.

I had thought it was something about the famed german punctuality, because of the hourglas . . And i pride myself on being about 95-100% punctual . . Also, i had a similar idea for my ashes. But a bit more modern twist. Put me into the water cooling system of a damn fine nice gaming rig ^^ |

Hm, I think in modern stereotypology this would be the Swabians. The Saxon stereotype these days is being stuck in the East germany time, especially the area around Chemnitz |
