Last Person #5

[CB Jones]

I like scheinehund. Or kartoffelkopf .

I like Schnitzel and Strudel

 

[Gerry Seymour]

You know, I never understood that either. I usually feel worried whether the person who fell is ok and whether there are any broken bones.

Agreed. I actually get a bad feeling in my gut when they look painful - almost a quick shot of anxiety.

 

[Gerry Seymour]

Schadenfruede .As long as no one is hurt, the prattfalls are classic physical humor.

A good overdone pratfall works for me. Something that actually looks painful doesn't.

Well...out into the Great White North with my snowblower

 

[AngryHobbit]

Looking out the window - it is so cold out, snowflakes are actually crystallizing out of thin air. Pondering Warrior Dash, which is only 5-6 weeks away. In the mountains of northern Georgia. Around a lake. Which means - half the obstacles will involve water (I mean, why else build a mud run around one - right?). And they don't pre-heat those lakes. Hmmm...

Well, it's clear I'll need a mud run valet to run next to me with a stack of fluffy towels and a portable hairdryer.

And you thought my Tough Mudder in June was a bad idea. At least I'll be warm...if I survive that damned lake.

I will always be thankful to the German language for the word Shadenfruede.

I prefer backpfeifengesicht

 

[granfire]

I prefer backpfeifengesicht

Damn good one!
and you know the meaning, too!

The way the schedule works - we have to go either for hypothermia or for heat stroke. I prefer hypothermia. I survived hot water- and electricity-free winters in Ukraine - I can do this.

Schweinehund....
Kartoffelkopf seems to be an American version though....
Holzkopf....more commonly used...

Maybe. Something my dad’s first wife would say. She was a German National... but also crazy.

It was a bit cloudy today.

Happy International Women's Day to all!

 

[Xue Sheng]

Happy the snowstorms over day
Unhappy it killed my snowblower day......

 

[Steve]

Happy International Women's Day to all!

I did not know this. It's been around for over 100 years. Cool.

What amazes me is - the holiday originated in America, and hardly anyone here knows about it. Back in the Soviet Union it was HUGE - we had so much fun celebrating!

 

[Dirty Dog]

Happy International Women's Day to all!

In my house, every day is Womens Day.

Oh, rub it in... no, go right ahead... don't be shy.

Ah, but is it International?

 

[Dirty Dog]

Ah, but is it International?

Well, we do a lot of international traveling, so I'm going to say yes.
