KLEM FM

Overheard:
Meade said..."I think you're being alarmist about beer and only posted that to dig at Haz." 
Why, chickelit? Because he brags about taking male hormone supplements?
And what is with all these descendants of German immigrants? You are, what — third? fourth? fifth generation? When the hell are you going to give up the hyphen and become just plain "American"? All I ever hear is das Vaterland! das Vaterland! 
Come on, volks. Gott im Himmel!
It's over, meiner Jungs.

Watch the videos for the old fotos of The Beatles from die Lederjahre (the leather years).

Rehashed, everything, why?

Rehashed, everything, why?

Because I'm tired of certain people just getting passes, that's why.

When used to contest Ritmo at Althouse I was at first astonished, then hurt by "friends" who just looked away and even supported his antics.

Same deal with Crack. That shit is over.

Germans say, "come give me your hand.

imperative.

I suppose simple declarative

Ich will deine Hand halten sounds too effete. I don't know. I want to hold your hand. Why? Because I'm a'scared. No, because I love you, and I know that can't be bad.

To sound germanic speak in the imperative mood. Like "Lego" Play well instead of Let's play.

Germans say, "come give me your hand."

Actually, they say "come give your hand to me."

On the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall they are putting up light up balloons where the wall used to be.

Nostalgia?

chickelit said...

99 Luftballons?

The lyrics to that popular song are an interesting "Comparative Lit" study. There are many more references to the Third Reich in the German version than in the English one.

chickelit said...

Here's a German language trivia contest question...

Why the final "s" ending in the song title "99 Luftballons"?

Hint: it's not plural

Winner gets a free plastic drink.

I thought it was der Vaterland, but, then, all the German I know I learned watching "Combat!".

chickelit said...

Germans say, "come give me your hand."

Not in the age of Obola.

I sampled a "Pictish" ale, once, at a Michael Jackson book signing at Penn. The beer was held out to be historically accurate, infused with heather rather than hops.

It was actually quite tasty. However, the people representing the brewer were off-putting, full of themselves. Maybe it was these people.

I happened to run across the product for sale at a local bottle shop but it was expensive, and I remembered that the people were jerks, so I said fuck 'em.

Anyway, on the potentially deleterious effects of the hop flower, one does not easily imagine ancient Pictish warriors with distended breasts and bellies, desperately trying to push rope when the day is done.

So it would appear to be that the science is well-settled.

Eric the Fruit Bat said...

Then again, when was the last time you met a Pict? And there ain't no Pictish-Americans. And there ain't no place named Pictland.

Think maybe I'll go get myself a beer.

It's still morning so I'd better make it a Hefeweizen. The Bavarians seem to be doing okay for themselves.

deborah said...

That post had a criticizing, chiding cast to it. Could she have been dictating or typing? I picture her and Meade giggling like Sarah Palin as they slop about in the hippo pool. Ah, the good life.

Michael Haz said...

Well gosh, Chickelit, thanks ever so much for taking a comment meant to insult me and turning it into a topic.

Meade said...

Oh you'll be alright, Mike. Just up your dose a little.

Eric the Fruit Bat said...

When a guy goes out of his way to bust balls by accusing someone of being insufficiently virile, it kind of makes you wonder what true opinions he's keeping hidden from his wife about her son.

ricpic said...

Come give your hand to me
And soon your heart will follow;
Aloft....Oh let it be!
Swallows to Capistrano.

deborah said...

Lovely, ricpic, you big bag of mush :)

deborah said...

Bat, let's keep kids out of this please. Meade's juvenile crap shouldn't drag her son in.

chickelit said...

Sorry about that, Haz.

I had to memorialize Meade's inannity and anntics.

Michael Haz said...

Find a way that doesn't involve me.

Meade said...

Ja, chickenlit. Finden Sie einen Weg, der ihn keinen Unterschied macht.

When used to contest Ritmo at Althouse..

I don't get it. What was used to "contest" me at Althouse?

chickelit said...

@R&B: I omitted a pronoun in my comment above. I meant to write:

When Iused to contest Ritmo at Althouse I was at first astonished, then hurt by "friends" who just looked away and even supported his antics.

"Contest" was meant in the "contestation" sense. I hope that clarifies.

chickelit said...

@Meade: "den ihm" not "der ihn."

Eric the Fruit Bat said...

Deborah, I said nothing derogatory about that third party. Nor would I.

Somebody else did, by necessary implication.

And that is shameful, in my opinion.

Eric the Fruit Bat said...

And while I'm at it, deborah, there's nothing wrong with noting that Althouse has a son who is gay. He is open and she's not hiding it, either. It's almost never relevant, IMHO, but sometimes it is.

Perhaps that fully mature, fully grown man would find it informative to know the sort of things his step-father thinks worthy of criticism.

Nah. Who am I kidding? I'm sure he couldn't care less and good for him.

deborah said...

Point taken, Bat.

Meade said...

Wait. What was the point taken?

That Eric believes lack of virility = gayness?

deborah said...

No, his point was you could be homophobic. I'm not sure, did you at one time sing a different tune about the practice of homosexual acts?

And for the record, Haz did not brag in that post; he stated. Though some abuse testosterone, some people do have low enough testosterone to require supplementation. Haz was countering alarmist statements.
