Reasons to be glad you're not German.

You also get to civilize Poland as an optional extra.

It can't be done . See Heresson. France is a lost case, too.

It can be attempted.... and think of the fun trying.

See Heresson.

That happens to me only in nightmares- like being stuck in a lift with a Muslim fundamentalist, an evangelical Christian and the current Inquisitor General (sorry, I mean Pope...)

France is a lost case, too.

Their television and pop music for the most part, yes. But they have produced the odd decent painter, novelist, dramatist and architect, f'r instance. Even Frederick the Great thought so...


...then he hadn't read Julia Kristeva or watched Chateauvallon marathons or listened to Claude Francois...

Hm, I´m no fan of Eisbein mit Sauerkraut,
but Knödels are O.K.,
there are different types of them, not just these boring white Knoedels, but also others, like Semmelknoedel or filled Knoedels.

Contrary to popular belief about Hermania noone here has to like them

Yes, the only thing you have to like in germany is beer.
If a german discovers that you don´t like it, he will as soon as possibnle get you into one of those Umerziehungslager (Reeducationcamps) that are called "Kneipen" and will fill you up with it, till you´ll finally succumb to the pressure and will admit that you like it.

But never tell anyone from Köln (Cologne) that you like Alt (Düsseldorfer Beer) or anyone from Düsseldorf that you like Kölsch (Beer from Cologne) as this will result into an immediate attempt by them to reeducate you to their local brew of beer

Oh, well, maybe you're right. To be true, my dictionnary about Germany is from 1936.
You mean I should update it?
Anything new, worth mentioning, since then?

[Zoid]

I'd take a german any day over the sissy french, effeminate italian mammonis or any of the unwashed east-europeans. No to mention the vile danish (not the pastries) or lazy spaniards.

For some reason, I have the feeling I'd like to be reeducated in any kind of beer.
So, say again, what should I say to be reeducated...?

And...btw, any sexual reeducation, by chance...?

Updates can never be wrong. As for new stuff, hm, brown is out of fashion these days, and we don't invade our neighbours anymore, at least not that often. Anything else you need to know is summed up nicely by this:

I believe Knödel is something Bavarian, even in Frankonia where I live, they are not common. I think Knödel are common in Austria too, but Austrians are nothing but renegade Bavarians, anyway. The best Knödel I ate in Bohemia, though.

Kölsch and Alt are typical Prussian beverage and hence, reprehensible.

The most commonly accepted German food are Pfannkuchen.
