Eine Reise nach Frankreich

Tomorrow I leave for Paris for four days! During which, Lori and I will be celebrating our birthdays. How nice, oder?

If I can hit an Internet café, or a plain 'ole computer, I'll record something, otherwise you'll just have to wait 'till I get back on Monday. It just occured to me that I haven't posted any pictures on my blog. I'll have to find a photo host in which to dump them, and link them here.

Tschüss!

Fünftes Video

YouTube won't let you upload a 14 minute video so I had to cut it in half. Watch in the following order!





Tschüß!

Bier des Patriotismus

I've found it! The cheapest beer I've ever seen! How can it get much cheaper than 35 cents for 500mL? I defy you to find a cheaper! It's still good too! It's called 5,0 Original and it doesn't suck (you'll be able to tell from the name that it's 5,0%). Unfortunately it's in a can, but I pour it into glasses.

This one celebrates 60 Jahre Bundesrepublik Deutschland (60 Years of the Federal Republic of Germany (1949-2009 and still going!)). Notice the German flag on the can.



Here's what the text says:
Nur eine schwarz-rot-geble Dose ! Keine goldene mit aufwendiger Prägung ! Nur eine simple Gestaltung ! Keine teure TV-Werbung ! Diese Ersparnis geht an Sie ! Wir haben so gut wie an allem gespart ! Außer an der Qualität des Bieres ! 5,0 Original ist ein Pilsbier, gebraut nach dem deutschen Reinheitsgebot ! Zutaten: Wasser, Gerstenmalz und Hopfen ! Setzen Sie Ihr Geld besser ein ! Bezahlen Sie jetzt weniger für ein gutes PILS ohne Schnörkel !

Translation:
Only a black-red-yellow can ! No golden one with elaborate imprinting ! Only a simple design ! No expensive TV-ads ! These savings go on to you ! We have saved well on everything ! Other than the quality of the beer ! 5,0 Original is a pilsner beer, brewed according to German purity law ! Contents: water, barley malt and hops ! Use your money better ! Pay less for a good PILS without flourish !

And I only had to look up a few words...

Tschüss!
