Badass. He did the German synchro for King Haggard from the movie 'The Last Unicorn', which thus sounds strangely exotic and unique. Never really liked his Dracula though, but that's probably because the movies didn't really age that well.

The video was removed from YT now, but there was an amusing anecdote from Lord of the Rings, when Peter Jackson was explaining to Lee how he wanted him to sound when he got stabbed in the back. And Chris says something to the effect of "Do you know, Peter, the sound a man makes when he is stabbed in the back?" and then proceeds to explain precisely the sound a man makes, from his first-hand knowledge in WWII.

that's both horrible and badass at the same time. he served with the long range desert patrol in northern africa, right?

He did all sorts of things, was in the Special Operations Executive as well as the SAS at various points. Did all sorts of cloak and dagger spy shit he's not allowed to talk about in detail, even now.

Completely off-topic, but I love that we get to watch all UFC events for free in Germany.

publicly supporting piracy is a banable offense

hier gilt das gleiche, in Fox sports

i just read up on that story. apparently he asked Jackson the question "have you ever heard etc." and when Jackson replied "No" Lee simply responded with "Well, I have, and I know what to do."

Just imagine that in Saruman's deep, incredibly manly voice.

GODDAMN.

Are the other country-specific threads (the Dutch, Swedish ones) from the dark corners of GAF moderated constantly as well? If so, I'm guessing there's mods from those countries.

I believe Kabouter frequents DutchGAF and EatChildren + Myself go to AusGAF from time to time. Not sure about others.

Hey, that's my line

 

[Bollocks]

Is it not the case that Austrians are Germans, ethnically, linguistically and culturally (please don't kill me)? I don't mean that they don't have their own identity, but that they belong to the same closely related pan-national group. Germany was a union of Germanic states, but Austria did not join originally. Großdeutschland arguments and all that.

Spoiler

My knowledge of German Unification comes from Victoria 2...

If you have to label it then Austria is more Slavic than German really. Austria is and has always been a multi-cultural country. There are many places in Austria where German is not the only official language. Although those are minorities they define a great chunk of Austria's identity.

I just uncovered this fine example of Austrian culture.

Well, I mean it was linked by somebody's embarrassing tag :lol

I have heard that before, years ago, and that fact terrifies me.

 

[mjAUT]

Fun fact: there are only 4 KFCs (all of them in Vienna) and zero Pizza Huts in Austria.

IMO it's one of the worst Austrian songs ever.

i remember a Pizza Hut in vienna - mariahilferstr, near the Westbahnhof - did it close?

anyways, the lack of fastfood chains is not a bad thing imo.

There used to be 5 Pizza Huts in Austria (all of them in Vienna), but they were all closed in 2003 due to "low acceptance of fast food in Austria".

anyways, the lack of fastfood chains is not a bad thing imo.

I wholeheartedly agree. Our cuisine is excellent

I think my terrible posts finally drove Fritz out of the thread.

I feel terrible.

Who needs "American style fast food", if one can have the best fastfood in the world?

Döner Kebab.

 

[TCRS]

I think this is a law of the German thread. Every two pages Döner Kebap must me discussed!

I'm getting some today.

Döner Kebab.

I'd rather award this title to a Bosna (Austria) or a Currywurst (Germany) than to a Döner.

But yeah, everyone has a different taste

So what is a Doner Kebab, exactly?

Go on...

watching now!

also:

Einstürzende Neubauten - Stella Maris

Blixa Bargeld (singing the part of Kylie Minogue) and Nick Cave doing Where the Wild Roses Grow is another fine example of German-Austrian cooperation.



Bargeld did awesome commercials for German construction store "Hornbach", too.

Here you go.

edit: beaten

edit2:

A German variety of döner presentation is achieved by placing the döner meat and the add-ons on a lahmacun and then rolling the ingredients inside the dough into a tube that is eaten out of a wrapping of usually aluminum foil [...]

Thats the way I prefer it. ♥

 

[Des0lar]

Love me some Kafka. And I am not talking about the author.

Also let's talk about one of the other best fast foods:

Leberkäse

AWWW YIISSSS

We call that Dürüm in Austria

While this is also tasty, this isn't a Döner in my opinion!

seriously? haven't they taught you anything in here?
shame on you germanGAF!

 

[Des0lar]

Pizzafleischkäse/Pizzaleberkäse is even better.

Don't call it Fleischkäse in Österreich. People won't know what you are talking about.

 

[mjAUT]

Pizzafleischkäse/Pizzaleberkäse is even better.

Pferdeleberkäse is currently seeing a spike in popularity too

Bavarian fast food time!

Brezn + Leberwurst > Brezn + Butter > *

A good Liverwurst is imperative. Must be smoked, and the fine variant.

Such a great combo with the Pretzel.

Dear Australians,
I do like MC Strache and Mitzi a lot. "Jänner", buhahahahaha.

Is this sweet mustard?

 

[TCRS]

NOOOOOO!! Laura ist raus. Der einzige Grund warum ich DSDS geguckt habe.. :/

 

[vitacola]

War sie denn amüsant oder optisch hochwertig?
