Nah. Skiing is a risky extreme sport. Darwin awards are for people who make hot air balloons in their back yard..

Making and riding in your own backyard hot air balloon is risky and extreme.

Yes.

Not yet...

how is it! sounds cool!

Sharknado is probably the most perfectly horrible movie I've ever seen. Enjoyed it immensely!

Yes, it's pure horror, but not by it's intended content: from the ever-changing weather between shots to large sharks being able to dive under an SUV to a house on a hill that somehow completely fills up with water (Sharknado water defies the laws of gravity) to the jumping-into-a-sharks-mouth-with-a-chainsaw-and-not-even-receiving-a-scratch scene, it's like something Ed Wood would have made if Ed Wood had had no love for making movies.

'no nipples' law in USA

I don't mind the partial nudity. There WILL BE trouble if that place doesn't have the best damn hamburgers in the world!

Yeah - America is FAR too prudish to display that. If it was someone being slashed - no problem.

I put the "fun" in "funeral."

I hate attending funerals too...especially my own.

Maybe Peter Murphy does home improvement on the side now? =P

So you're a hamburger then?

I didnt get to the theatre to see Riddick . I liked the first one but not so sure on the second one .

They play American Football in Germany?

Yup they do, just not very good, and it's a niche sport here. Flag football, e.g., is played at amateur level (the clubs are organized in the AFVD), 9 vs. 9 semi contact, two flags, and my cousin's team (Hamburg Pioneers Snappers) won the DFFL championship on September 29th. We have professional teams playing in the German Football League by NCAA rules and there was a short-lived NFL Europe which resulted in being an NFL Germany+Netherlands before being dissolved.

Atarian63, I've never been in a union. However, I do appreciate the 40 hour work week, weekends, holidays, vacations, safety requirements, etc. Most of which would not have happened if the labor movement had not occurred. I'd be very nervous if unions were banned.

And most of that is going away as companies can no longer afford it due to union abusevand competition.most will be 401k and no retirement on 10byears.no to mention obummercarevwill cause companies to reduce folks to part time and offer no healthcare to the others.

@Atarian - Companies have warmed up to outsourcing so much because our politicians have given in to their wants for cheaper Labor. Hence programs like NAFTA (In America, this was the beginning of the end of our Manufacturing industry). I too would be very nervous if Labor Unions were banned. As Fletch said, they're the ones who ushered in many of the worker's rights that we enjoy today.

@Atarian, please read some history instead of regurgitating opinions you've heard o...

She resembles him a lot, but you actually only may vote for Angela Merkel.

Or against

Seems Emperor Merkel http://i.imgur.com/jwyqW.jpg will rule the Empire for another four years...

Pickpocketed taxpayer money funds Hell?

THANKS OBAMA

Ja, ja, die guten alten Flaktürme:)

Der Dom ist immer da, ist nichts neues.

yes yes the good old flak tower

The intended audience probably isn't sensitive enough to the differences between good and bad German accents for them to care.

(French accents are a different story: unlike any other bad accent, a bad French accent is funny. I blame Inspector Clouseau.)

Because Hollywood makes garbage now. In a society satiated with "reality" shows, why pay for quality?

@Master Phruby: e.g. Christopher Lee's German is quite good (he dubbed himself for the German language version of "The Last Unicorn").

@wood_jl: In older Hollywood movies the German is even worse (e.g. Alan Rickman in "Die Hard"), but one would think they considered the worldwide distribution of movies and TV series by now.

And I fear it's the same issue with any other language, as if there were no German/French/Russian/Spanish/etc. speaking actors available...

About 55 days until Christmas, though.

Seriously, I don't even consider tht Sandy Claws guy to be scary - so what's the point?

I'm not sure if the candy reserves can hold out that long. May need to restock at Easter.

I heard that polyps taste like popcorn chicken.

I had no idea gorillas were capable of making glass.

It's made by melting gorillas down.

I do enjoy my ape windows.
