Daily Heights Happy Hour at Soda 11/19

Look people, I am transporting an actual live German to this thing. He's never taken the subway before, so I have to teach him how to buy a ticket, navagate the system, change trains, etc...

Fun will be had, goddamn it. Or else. :evil: :!:

Cupcake - do tell - did your German like the happy hour? Sorry I couldn't make it

It was awesome! We made him do jello shots until he puked along to the German National anthem. That man was a champ!

LOL. I knew Dave would show him the American way 8)

Real English like "shut up, Dave. If you keep talking about my neighborhood, I swear I'll cut you!" Here to help!

Fortunately, I was there to provide sotto vocce color commentary to fill in the gaps in his cultural knowledge. "You see, Candace is tough, she was born in a ghetto, and daveb is a skinny wimp from Vermont and he went to Candace's homeland to adopt a cat and thought he would be murdered, because he gets mugged alot anyway..."

Well, some exageration was necessary for simplicity's sake. :roll:

I thought "homeland" was a better choice than "Fatherland" in the circumstances.

Here's something to think about while the board is off on a fairly serious Real Estate/Construction tilt:

I asked German of the Month the other night, as we were riding on the subway, "Christian, do you think I'm very American?"

"Yes."

"Oh." [long pause] "I don't really know how to feel about that."

But, you are very American...maybe he took it literally at face value. Maybe you should've said "Am I very American? Do I look like I dress up like a flag on Independence Day?"

I think I would've shown my face this past week if I hadn't been sick (cough, cough). I haven't played pictionary in ages... I hope I'll make it next week.
