I didn't say that Germany is no fun - I said that German society is a very carefully constructed one, and one that provides its members with a maximum of individual liberty by requiring they observe a maximum of unwritten social protocol. The crazy thing is that it actually works.
It's a bit like the "Individualists' Association". :laugh:
Also:
"Elsewhere sucks, too - The Ruhr-area in the 1980s"
--- Quote from: hedgie on 04 Sep 2018, 08:54 ---I dunno, I thought that Berlin was rather interesting, and had the right kind of crazy.
--- End quote ---
Berlin != Germany (Is there a superlative of 'not', and if so, what is its symbol?)
Edit: German society loosened up considerably over the last few decades, especially following the end of the Cold War. Compared to the 1980s, we're positively frivolous.
War Sparrow:
Well that's true. When I read "stick up the ass" I assumed you meant "boring and serious", as that is what people mean when they say it here. Or, you know, "have basic manners and consideration for others", which is uncommon in my chunk of the city.
cesium133:
It's forecast to get pretty cold here next week. Next week's forecast, according to the U.S. National Weather Service (temperatures are in Fahrenheit, -17F=-27C):
And in Wisconsin and Minnesota, it'll be even colder than here...
jwhouk:
Sunny skies and Seventy degrees here. :-D
cesium133:
I'll remember that when it's 120 degrees in Arizona.
BTW, the NWS has revised Wednesday low down to -25.
