I'm sorry, but I think I'm posting this just so I can say "Chinese Lederhosen."
Bonus quirkiness: the article refers to the mini-political kerfuffle in Munich now known as "Dirndl-Gate." Really.
What's German for "wardrobe malfunction"? I'm simply tickled by all this. (Golly, can you imagine me wearing a dirndl? Hilarious! Plus I'll put the Cinema-Mad Sibling into some lederhosen, hahaha.)

This story reminds me of my personal "dirndl gate". Peer pressure once pushed into a Paulaner (a Bavarian brewery) drinking hole in Liuzhou - all of the ten or so waitresses were wearing dirndls. What a depressing sight! Asian babes + dirndl = mismatch, big time. Trust me.
Marian, I beg to disagree. A dirndl helps a girl make the very most of her assets - no matter whether she is German, Italian, or chinese.
Maddie, please post a pic soonest!
"all of the ten or so waitresses were wearing dirndls"
Well THERE's the problem, marian. You're not SUPPOWSED to look t the dirndl you're supposed to look at the jugs. Of beer I mean.
Hmmm. I don't think I can find a dirndl in Nerdworld -- cheap Chinese, real Bavarian, or any other kind!
I'll have to go to Bavaria, maybe!
Don,
I admit to be suffering from dirndl misperception.
"assets", hehe.
In my view, a girls' biggest asset is covered by her skull! Then again, you don't have to tell me that almost all lads and most of the gals disagree with me on that one. That's why most of the girls try to find a rich dude and go for "asset"-backed security (aka marriage).
Ha!
Maybe I could actually find a rich dude to marry if I wore a dirndl, hahahaha!
As things are, my skull-asset and I are working hard in the library again.
MADDIE!!!
My appreciation for you is going SOUTH! First, you claimed to be a yahoo in terms of music, then you confessed to being sucked into "Supernatural" - and now you dare to consider wearing a dirndl to marry a rich dude! What's next?
If you want to lose me FOR GOOD, kerry, err, carry on, gal!
I'm devastated...petrified...
*GiggleGiggleGiggle*
Fear not, brave Sir Marian, I am only kidding! Well, except for the "Supernatural" part (it's been a bad week at Nerdworld), and I am back to listening to Bach.
Also, I said IF I wore a dirndl. IF, not WILL. So it was all only hypothetical, and anyway, I don't need a rich dude! I'd rather have fun, intelligent, guy friends.
PS: Dirndls look UNCOMFORTABLE! I think I should stay with my heritage-correct cheongsam/qipao, no?
Heehee!
Yahoo music, Marian? Maddie has nothing on me for being a yahoo musically. The very moment I read that I was listening to:
"I'm preachin' dis sermon to show
It ain't nessa, ain't nessa
Ain't nessa, ain't nessa
It ain't necessarily so"
Pretty lowbrow, eh? Extra credit if you can identify the song and the album....
Dear Lady Minerva,
Also, I said IF I wore a dirndl. IF, not WILL.
Meh. And I said CONSIDER, not HELL-BEND ON.
I don't need a rich dude! I'd rather have fun, intelligent, guy friends.
Meh, again. That's what all gals are claiming! And why not trying to have both - fun and money? Like... Silvio Berlusconi ;-). Besides, we're not talking friendship here.
I think I should stay with my heritage-correct cheongsam/qipao, no?
My point exactly! I mean, c'mon, you're a gender-traitor and a race-traitor. That's enough already.
Oh well, since it's weekend, I'll give you two related bonus tracks: sugar daddy and Beauty is nothing without brains.
Don,
Yahoo music, Marian?
I was refering to this entry. (Yeah, wake me up at 3 a.m. and I'm still able to memorate MM's most horrible confessions.)
And Don,
Extra credit if you can identify the song and the album....
Barack Obama. DNC speech.
No Marian, Obama oesn't speak in dialect.
If you have that degree of recall had you considered that you might be a trifle... obsessed?
The artists name is "Sportin' Life". Does that help?
Don,
If you have that degree of recall had you considered that you might be a trifle... obsessed?
Well, if I'm self-aware to a degree where I'm poking fun at myself, the answer to your question (all of your questions in this thread) might be: it ain't necessarily so.
(Do you really think I'm so dumb not to know the artist/album/song/whatever?)
Probably not, Marian.
On the other hand I keep getting remnders about how insular your countrymen can be.
First there was that idiotic statment by Peer Steinbrück last week when he described the financial market crisis as "above all an American problem."
Just before 'bailout fever' hit the EU of course.
Then there was the thread on German Joys about how so mny German exchange students have been traumatized by crazy christian families. I have some sympathy for their plight, but has anyone ever thought of like - exchanging a letter ro two beforehand? Or maybe not sending a kid who isn't rel steady on their psychological pins?
