Socrates Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 This is the thread to celebrate any and all things Deutsch. All you krauts can get on here and proudly celebrate your heritage with beirfests and polka dancing, or if you're not German, you can talk about how you wish you were. The world's greatest composers, sausages, automotive engineering, and BIER! Did we mention BIER? Austrians also welcome. Prosit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MithLuin Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) I love my German Shepherd And to combine popes and German beer, I give you: [img]http://img1.brigitte.de/asset/Image/kultur/buecher/jetzikon/papst-bier.jpg[/img] I bought some while in Marktl am Inn, the pope's birthplace. Gave it away, though, so I can't tell you what it was like. My surname is German, so I'm at least partly German myself. My family came over from Bavaria just before the turn of the century. As I like to explain it, it means my relatives weren't in this country yet for the Civil War, and we were out of Germany before the World Wars. Ich sprecka kien Deutsh. (And I certainly can't spell it!) But I do know how to say: cathedral, main train station, goodbye, five, no, strawberry, later, evil, devil, You are crazy, and I want to kiss you.

MithLuin Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 It is part of my family's traditional 4th of July celebration. That and reading Robert Service poetry. Both are...highly amusing. Especially the year we had a few Dutch ladies who actually spoke German there. They couldn't help laughing at us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoonerCatholic Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I just finished reading the Irish thread and I was sad because I wasn't Irish. However, I am mostly German on my Dad's side. My great-grandmother immigrated from Berlin in the 1880s. Hooray for Germans! Oh, and my last name means "rosary" in German. Which obviously means I should pray the rosary more...
