yesterday we were at a Elton John open air.
we have this thing in my state, the Hessentag, it is a huge festival/fair held every year by another mid-sized town in Hessia, there is a fair, concerts, theatre, comedy-acts,, exhebitons etc.
this year it is in Wetzlar, 40 miles north of me.
I guess you would call it a State-Fair.

The show was GREAT, he played over 2,5 hours, introduced the support act himself (2 croatian cello players who played things like "smells like teen spirit" and "smooth criminal") the support went seemless into the main show as they started "saturday night's alright for fighting" and Elton and his band joined in
cool concept that, no break between support and main act

special props for the man because he was in hosptial with pneumonia the last week but did not cancel the show especally when he plays for the queen on monday.

Sympathies for Treppa, Lindisty, 8th dwarf's daughters and TOZ.

+1 and for FHDM as well

hi everyone

Yes, that's Uwe Boll himself playing Hitler.

Why???

I am trying to decide if it is better or worse that it is a almost the same movie as Bloodrayne 3. (and I hope it was meant to be a parody of that).

Cool, nekkid Bloodrayne.

I wouldn't put it past Boll to parody his own movies.

I can't decide if I hate Uwe Boll's sloppy filmmaking, or if I actually love his self-aware campiness. His films range from the just plain awful (Bloodrayne and sequels), to so-bad-it's-good (Alone in the Dark), to actually rather well-put-together (Rampage).

oh my god, that is so offensive on so many levels, even Boll should keep a few precious standards, especally as a fellow german

and you kind of godwin'ed FaWtL ;-)

hi everyone

Morning Aeglos. How's the weather in Germany this time of year.

The aforementioned Malt & Vine is a good place to start, but there's Black Raven (which offers growlers to go) and Three Lions as well.

Haha, Liz had me at the word Growlers to go. Hitting Black Raven for sure.

Totally check out black raven. Not exactly stumbling distance, but since you can get growlers to go, that's not a problem.

*raises hand*

um, what are growlers? I am not a native speaker and dict.cc tells me it's either a angry dog or a small icebergboth does not sound beer related?
if Black Raven is not in walking distance, how can you get there from the Hotel?

today we made a bicyle tour with my mum tto a "Angling Club Fest" where we had freshly smoked trout for dinner.
then we made a trip to Seligenstadt (lit. town of the Blessed). there is the Einhard-Basilica.
a old cloister and cathedral build by Einhard the Cronicler of Charlemagne the Great (Karl der Große) King of the Franks, his realm became todays Germany And France.
The Basilica itself is not that impressive but the Cloister and especally the gardens are very big and beautiful.
Then we cleaned out the garage.
Now Asparagus is in the cokcing pot, mmmmm Asparagus

Are any of the Euro FawLTieS watching the Eurovision song contest? Every year we have a party and pull a country out of a hat to support. This year we are going to miss it :-(

I got Lena in 2010.... Some Teutonic hotness right there.

I got i the Serbians with the massive hats last year.

I did not watch it, sweden won, the 7 russian babuschki got 2 place, our boring as hell german singer somehow reached 8th place

RIDICULOUS. AVATAR. POSE.

You look so...normal.

to me you look very very.......American

no really, maybe it is because of the army haircut, as a german growing up in the Fulda Gap i have seen countless American Soldiers but not that many other Americans (beside my US vacation of course) and I think I could have identified you as US soldier out of a football stadium full of people from all over the world :-)

billy joel at shea stadium on tv

Well, found out the hard way that kidlet is allergic to shellfish. He's feeling better now so that's good at least.

urgh, that sucks, I hope it was nothing to severe, food allergy can be scary and dangerous

[Threadjack]

Tonight my US team plays a friendly vs Scotland.

Go USA!

(And there's a few Scottish players I like and am looking forward to seeing: Charlie Adam, Barry Bannan & Christoph Berra.)

[/Threadjack]

a lot f friendlys, or more test a games, tonight.

Brasil has beaten Denmark earlier,
and Switzerland leads 4-2 againat Germay :-(

Oh, yeah -- I'm American (thus the reason I have no one around me to teach me more about football).

And I'm really lucky that there isn't an American player nearly good enough to play for us at Arsenal. (Howard is too old to sign now even though he's the 3rd best goalie in the EPL and Dempsey, despite being just.good.enough to play for us is not only pretty old, but just doesn't fit our style of play.)

...

But how do you reconcile, as a German, this potential injury problem and the guarantee of wearing your players down without an off season?

Assuming your team is Borussia Dortmund -- you know that if Mats Hummels gets the call for Germany it can ONLY hurt your Club Team.

And if your team is Bayern, well, do you really want to risk Gomez & Muller & Schwiensteiger & Kroos & Lahm? Do you want Robben to play for Holland and Ribery for France?

my team is Bayern.

but the nation tournaments (world cup and euro) are very very important. it is a special time every two yeras, everyone is on the same side not for different teams like in the seaon, you watch with friends, do barbeque, every confersarion is about soccer, my mum calls me to talk about it, we put our flags out (something we germans NEVER do normaly)
for all that I take injury risk, heck I would take every Bayern player injured the whole next year for the euro title

happy birthday CH

Yep. Haven't gotten to watch it though.

it is really really good

urgh, Switzerland is ripping us appart in thee test game

Okay -- I'm still really new to football and, as I don't have anyone around me to answer my questions, I'll ask them here...

Is it wrong (common/ uncommon) to hope the players in your Club Team either A: ride the bench for their country or B: hope their country team doesn't advance past the Group Stage?

I don't want MY players getting injured!
I don't want MY players putting "needless" miles on their legs when they SHOULD be resting!

Theo Walcott is still young, struggling from a calf injury and I DON'T want him playing for England.

I'm thrilled Jack Wilshere won't be able to play for England and Bacary Sagna for France cuz of injuries.

I thank god neither Belgium nor Wales are in it cuz Vermaelen and Ramsey NEED rest.

Let Koscielny rest his legs; let Abidal start ahead of him for France.

I don't even want to think about losing Thomas Rosicky -- he's old; let him rest. But he's the best player on the Czech team.

And can you imagine what we'd look like next year if The Robin Van Persie is injured playing for Holland? My brain can't go there! I want RVP, er, "MVP," resting.

Is this normal?

** spoiler omitted **

I geuss your American? than kt would be OK

If you are English and don't support your team, well, then let's hope no other English poster knows where you live ;-)

My mother owns a strawberry farm and I'd love to be able to pass that along to her.

And I'll give deep fried anything a try. ;)

ups, I guess I stumbled over the English language there :-)

deep frozen not deep fried
we mashed them, sugared them and froze them, the trick is: strawberry jam gets grey over time, the mashed mass stays red and we can make fresh jam in a few month (and we can use them with champagne, with vodka or to make strawberry milkshakes

Would they then be like macerated strawberries? That is what my mother always did with the extras. Makes delicious desserts.

Add a bunch of sugar to the strawberries, let them sit to draw out the juices, and then they can be frozen...

jup, but meshed in the blender

just two weeks left, time to resurface this thread

tonight test game Germany - Switzerland

we have been to a "pick your own" strawberry field and picked 12pounds of strawberries.
then we made 6 pounds into strawberry jam, the rest we mashed and deep fried, a few we made to strawbery ice-cubes and left enoigh for strawberry milk shake for the evening

the kitchen looks like a especially gory battlefield now :-)

Also, good news CH and Aeglos, wife is in for July 3rd evening!!!! I work until 6:30 pm that evening(I will do what I can to switch to 4:30 pm, but I don't think that's going to work, knowing my dumbass of a boss), but I am free the rest of the evening, and the days are going to be even longer than they are now. Maybe we can meet up at about 7:30 pm in Chinatown or someplace like that?

woohoo, that is great news

coffee for tonights "Temple of Elemental Evil" game needs to be brewed, good bye for now

Thanks for the good wishes. It's more a matter of needing to do than to talk - to reinvent rather than vent. So I've been busy. But I'm still keeping an eye on you guys. >.>

Whose eye it is, I shall not say.

good to hear that you keep your head up. Hang in there!

I did upload new pics to photo bucket.

They are from our sunday trip to Steinau an der Straße, the childhood home of the Brothers Brimm (not their birthplace, they are, like myself, born in Hanau).
pics are from the Castle, the Town Square and of course the Grimm House

Hello, Sir Freehold.

The absence is nothing personal. My life is kind of going to hell in a handbasket and I see no reason to inflict it upon everyone else.

sorry to hear that Treppa, positive waves.

You know you can always vent in here if you need to

ooh, I missed the dragon hoard looting :-(
I was out gardening,

I have the coolest blackbird ever in my garden.
the little guy sit's at arms length while i dig in the ground, waiting for insects to be dug up, when I find a snail I crush it and throw it his way which he takes without even hopping away.
he and his ladybird have found the best nesting place in my garden, too.
right in the climbing-rose, completly cat-save

Good morning FAWTLY Folk! Happy Friday! I hope everyone has a great Memorial Day Weekend. Although that is not likely in the cards for me, since I seem to be developing another cold.
