Fun fact:
Uter is Swiss in Germany (Sidefact: The Simpsons is the ONLY thing ever that's better in the German dub. Better voices, nice translations).
The Germans (I think) in Malcolm in the Middle are Danes over here.

It's the truth. And I've watched tons of stuff in both English and German, so I know how fucking horrible most dubs are. Simpsons is the single exception.

Unrelated:

Bill Belichick likes ALL the Christmas songs.

Is Rammstein how the world perceives Germany?

Do Germans speak a lot of English amongst other Germans?

 

[Tamanon]

Congrats!

Where you moving to?

Also, Prost!

Greenville, NC. So closer to the coast and to at least a slightly bigger city. I'll be continuing my studies at East Carolina University(Home of David Garrard!). After graduating from there, it's probably West Coast Bound.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Wait there are GAFfers meeting Kave today. I hope he fights them.

Yeah.

Kave, give them an elbow drop courtesy NFL-GAF!

i remember when i was on a video shoot for a Garbage video (and by video shoot i was just an extra so i'm not trying to sound cool.... but i did get to meet and speak with shirley and butch!) and there was this german guy there. he told me he was from germany and i said oh yeah rammstein is cool just trying to make conversation and he said uhhh rammstein is a big fucking joke in my country. then he went on and on for about 20 mins about how they sucked dick and all these other bands that were much better.

i learned a lot about germans that day

 

[Milchjon]

Do Germans speak a lot of English amongst other Germans?

Not really.

I have about one friend with whom I like to switch between German and English (and sometimes French) as it fits. Otherwise, why would we?

How do you describe subtleties of hoppiness I'm German? Translate the difference in Pacific Northwestern hops and Noble hops for my American ass

I fucking hate language switching mid-conversation.

I hang out with a lot of Spanish speakers because of my fiance, and always the second or third generations swap between Spanish and English mid-sentence.

I can understand(and speak pretty good after a bottle of Johnny Walker) Spanish perfectly well, but I need to switch my brain, so switching between the two confuses me to no end.

When was that?

Germany is kinda ambivalent about Rammstein. When they first started out, it was this whole "killer video games!!!!"-like uproar where the general public was too dumb to figure out their lyrics and basically called them Nazis. Nowadays, they're pretty much accepted among even the mainstream music and art scene. Of course, there's a big part of the public that still thinks they suck and/or thinks they are hilariously bad.

I like them. Also probably one of the top 3 live acts I've ever seen. If you get the chance to watch them live, do it!

American hops is more "fruchtig". Noble hops are hard to describe IMO. They are simply "hopfig"

It's just that in some contexts it's easier to come up with the English expression. Owing to the fact that a whole lot of entertainment (and subsequently quotes) come in English. So if I know that the other person understands it, I just go with whatever fits.

 

[Milchjon]

No.

It used to be this higly uncool old people drink.

Its popularity has been rising for a few years now, though. I think it kinda came from the US, too. It's usually mixed with Red Bull :-D

I personally like it neat.

What are your thoughts on David Hasselhoff.

Does "Hopfen" just mean hops? We describe many of our hop additions as utilizing "hallertau hopfen." We did a single hop Lager with hops exclusively from Seitz Farm

I don't know. I think most Germans are in on the joke.

He has some hilariously awesome music videos though.

Yup. Hallertau is the biggest hop growing area in the world. Hallertauer is their (main) aroma hops.

Dawg if you ever come to Merica you are welcome yo crash at my place as long as you like and I'll take you to all the breweries and craft beer bars in St. Louis. You can even take my bed and I'll wash the sheets for you and take the couch.

Only thing I ask is accommodations if I ever come to the homeland

Haha, I don't think my tiny room is preferable to a nice affordable hostel ;-) Also, a lot of the more interesting beer spots are at the other end of Germany.

And yes, it is real. Seen it with my own eyes.

Edit: Not that I'm not open towards a beer themed meet up!

Fun fact: AnnaSophia Robb was a favorite of George R. R. Martin's to take the role of Daenerys Targaryen early on in the casting process.

Interestingly, she looks almost exactly like my mental picture of Dany, due to the large eyes mainly.

Just had a look at Wiki, apparently there isn't even an agreed upon combination of animals that makes a Wolpertinger.

I assume you have a beer by that name too?

What are your thoughts on David Hasselhoff.

He is a joke now but in the 80s for every guy and especially kids and teens he was a fucking boss.

Everyone loved Knight Rider. Probably doesn't hold up now but for its time one of the best action tv shows ever.

I miss the 80s.
