Living in a place where there are a lot albatrosses, I think the most distinctive thing about them is their shocking huge size...I saw some Egyptian-condor-szed brutes last summer. I guess a tiny wrist tattoo would call wry visual attention to this fact would be interesting. If you mean you like the breeding at…

No. Audi is Bavarian, for one thing, and it was established in Bayern in 1899. The Venn diagram of Gawker commenters and people who’ve taken a world history class, let alone know anything about Deutschland, is small, apparently.

Um, no we don’t. Also, Wagner died in the 1880s, about 50 years before the Nazis enacted the first “work shy” laws. Not saying he wasn’t antisemitic. However Gesamtkunstwerk-genre art, including opera, was considered Entartete Kunst.

We just began getting it in the Southern Hemisphere. It’s good.

Can I join you if I promise to be quiet and you can just pretend I’m not there?

Very Jezebel answer...kill the messenger.

“If in six months I get into UCLA (my dream school) ... I’ll consider everybodys input ...”

“I’m young, stressed and beautiful (to me) ...”

I hope this advice does not make you defensive. IIRC you had adjusted your studies to something more film/contemporary-oriented rather than straight-ahead Germanistik, which seems like a very good idea. If you want to remain in Germanistik, you might want to devote some time to getting involved in GSA. I loathe Eric…

Needs to be out of the greys.

Gawker Media a privately-held (albeit offshore) company; Nick Denton as its sovereign “corporations are people” is responsible for the content its houses. Kitchenette or whatever nonsense is is relentlessly promoted on the Jezebel main page. If you’re a Pinkham apologist, just say so, don’t be pedantic.

Actually if they were at the correspondents’ dinner they were probably working journalists of some sort, likely with White House credentials, which is more than can be said for the “bloggers” at Jezebel. Just unbelievable.

It doesn’t matter if people contact GM or not. See: the past few weeks of unaddressed complaints about C.A. Pinkham.

I very much agree with your sentiments and your eloquence in expressing them.

I think you understand what I am saying.

Yes, but...obviously that fulfills the “water” component...

If you are more than 5 metres away from a body of water, you do not need to be wearing flip flops. Ever. No exceptions.

There’s also a really scarily large upswing in German Nationalism and anti Semitism.

This is probably one of the most insane things ever to be posted on Jezebel, and that’s saying a lot. Assuming you’re American, what were you doing around the holidays during the time of both the PEGIDA/BAGIDA rallies in Dresden and Köln and the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris? About a quarter million Bavarians –…

You know that some people are both Jewish and German, right? There are tons of ethnic Askenazi (Jews from north of the Rhine from France and Germany) who have moved to Israel in our lifetime and identify with both nationalities.
