Und doch, im Jahr 1918, um 11:11 Uhr, die "den Krieg zu beenden alle Kriege" zu Ende gegangen.

m 15:15 Uhr war heute UTC-Sonnenuntergang.

Also sollte ich davon ausgehen, dass dies nicht ein Tag der Ehrfurcht in Ihrem Land, aber ein Hohn?

 

[Polarbear57]

Heute am 11-11 um 11:11 war Hoppedietzerwachen.

Was ist Hoppedietze?

My German sucks.

Sagen wir: alles, was vor 1933 in Deutschland passierte, fühlt sich heute an, als ob es in einen anderen Land passierte.

It may be Armistice Day, but it's always a day of contention on the General Board.

The British always accuse the Americans of not coming to their rescue soon enough...

Bloody ingrates.

My German sucks.

11.11. at 11.11 am is kind of a mini carneval in Germany, called Hoppeditz.

You know about the Karnevalsession in Germany,
it´s always starts on Nov.11 and finishes at
Aschermittwoch in Februar.
The biggest Partys are near the Rhine-River,
Düsseldorf, Cologne a.m.m.

If they weren't up to the task, then why did they declare war on Germany in 1939?

What the fuck were they thinking??

They wrote checks their asses couldn't cash, and then when the USA bailed them out, instead of "thank you," it was, "why didn't you do it sooner??"

I really don't know what to make of these people sometimes.

They live on a tiny island of little significance, but somehow they think the whole world revolves around them.

Well, I did not, but I do now!!

Thanks!

This is just what the USA needs: a three-month time-out from war with lots of alcoholic beverages.

Well, you know, England was what America is today, back in the days of before 1900.

And btw...The Britains were the few who resisted to be conquered by the nazis. But it was close.

Did you ever see the "Carnival do Brasil ?"

It´s equal to the party over here, it happens most in Catholic Countries

Just came home from the start of this three-month period...

Just came home from the start of this three-month period...

Hello Aspirin & Alka Seltzer

Helau!

 

[dutchrain]

Hello Aspirin & Alka Seltzer

Hey, a real 'Fastnächtler' doesn't need these things!
A glas of water once in a while (before you go to bed) is absolute enough.

@ abcoflove Also helau!

Sadly, that's not an inaccurate analogy.

The USA had a bad parent.

It's shaken off most of it, but there's a ghost of Empire that remains.

And btw...The Britains were the few who resisted to be conquered by the nazis. But it was close.

Oh, they all resisted. Except Switzerland and Sweden, which stayed neutral.

The British only survived because of the US.

Russia, in fact, only survived because of the US.

Stalin himself admitted to Khrushchev that were it not for American aid, they would have lost the war.

Yes. Imagine a song like that entitled "Rule America!" or "Rule Germany!"

But I suppose it's alright that Britain has such a song that they still sing since they colonized half the world and raped them for their resources.

This is the sort of music I prefer:

Near to my home in Berlin is the small city of Potsdam,
close to Potsdam ist Schloss Sanssoucie.

Thats the residence of the old king Friedrich the second,
also known as "Der alte Fritz".

What most people didn´t know, the grave of this king is
in the middle of 9 smaller graves, he lay within his dogs,
he thougt a dog is more valuable then any other else.

During Summertime there will be always Concerts
like the Brandenburg Suite in the park of the Schloss
Sanssoucie.
