Filler Post #43 - Yoink!

There's this German magazine called Blond that I've occasionally been known to flip through. It's mostly kind of hit or miss with me in terms of their monthly theme. However, one thing in it that I always like to read is a very short column called "Jake's 12" by Jake the Rapper (who's also a DJ...and an American...and very nice, from what SupaD has told me).

I found his column this month to be particularly funny and I'd like to share (though I feel that's also slightly less than legal). I also apologzie in advance to those of you reading this, who can't read German. Normally, I'd translate, but I have the feeling that it wouldn't help you really understand it anyway.

But I'll make it up to you, I pinky swear...

Hm, unfortunately, the scanner isn't working, so I'm just gonna retype it. It ain't that long.

Jakes 12! Produktnamen
Bei diesen Markennamen frage ich mich, was sie mir wohl sagen wollen:

01. Bauerngut Wurst(b)engel: Oh Mann, jetzt gibt's bescheuerte Kabarettistenwitze auch noch im Supermarkt.
02. Hipp Hippness Crisp: Hipness kommt nicht aus einer Tüte. Mann muss dazu auch viele Zigaretten rauchen.
03. Froop: Kombination aus "fruit" und ...was? "poop"? "gloop"? Sorry, nur unschöne Wörter enden mit "-oop".
04. Flotte Biene: Eine Flasche mit Honigdurchfall und furzendem Schließmuskel-Spender. Klar: "Flotte Biene"!
05. Cola + Bier = Misery, ähm, Mixery, meine ich. Schmeckt echt mixerabel.
06. Back & Roll: Noch ein Grund für Elvis, sich im Grabe rumzudrehen...
07. World of Nuts: Ha! Genau! Es ist wirklich eine Welt voller Verrückter.
08. Vitakraft Katzenmilch: Welche arme Sau melkt denn die ganzen Katzen? Muss ja ewig dauern...
09. Whiskas Senior in Sauce: Ist die Rentenversicherung so schlecht, dass die jetzt Senioren an Hunde verfüttern?
10. Deutschland Würstchen: "...knackig wie Wiener." Oops, ist Wien in Deutschland?
11. Du darfst: Ach, und wer sind Sie denn überhaupt, mir zu sagen, was ich darf? Und mich gleich noch zu duzen!
12. Schovit Kakao: Are you telling me to shove it up my ass? Das ist mir einen Hauch zu obszön!

The Best Taco Bell in Germany

 Last weekend, I crossed off a major item on my bucket list. I went to Taco Bell in Germany. "But Raven, shouldn't you aspire to better, healthier things that have a measurable positive impact on society?" I know that's what you're thinking, but I don't really give a crap... because you are not the boss of me.  I wanted Taco Bell, because it's probably the one thing from back at home that I crave the most. Say what you want about it (again, I don't give a crap), but get at me when you've spent years away from your homeland and are unable to acquire whatever nasty-ass comfort food is available wherever you're from. For me, my nasty-ass comfort food of choice is Taco Bell...with Sonic a close second. However, you can't even find Sonic all over the U.S. and I don't find myself craving burgers and hot dogs all the time (plus, those urges are a lot easier to satisfy than a craving for Mexican or Tex-mex).

...and now a few words about German Rap #1

Hi, I know many of you don't know or care about German-language rap, but I do. And sometimes I want to write about it. Without proper context or introductions or explanations, it might be a little tough to follow it all. However, I'll try to throw in some wikipedia links. If you do listen to/are interested in German-language rap, then here's a chance to read some of my opinions. - Raven (Keeping in mind that I have no kind of statistics to back this up) But I think that Fettes Brot (the German hip-hop trio) is probably the most overall dissed group in the German rap scene. Notice I used the qualifier "group" because the most dissed individual would probably be Eko Fresh (sorry, Frosty ?)-- because, really, that dude has stepped on A LOT of toes in (comparatively) short amount of time. You could maybe make the same case with Die Fantastischen Vier , but it's hard to diss bajillionaires. I mean, ok, it's actually really easy to diss bajillionaires, just ha...

Horden

I went into the kitchen after work the other day to grab myself a bite to eat. Looking over at the window, I saw three or four black dots crawling over the window. Moving in for a closer look, I then saw that the dots were actually ladybugs ( Marienkäfer ). And my heart was like, "Awwww...ladybugs...cute" or whatever. It wasn't long before I noticed that it wasn't merely three or four ladybugs, but a swarm of them congregating in the upper right corner of the window frame. Easily multiple dozens of them. I had forgotten that this happened once the weather dropped. The same thing occurred last fall/winter and it freaked me out. There were just so many of them. In my mind, I immediately thought of my niece Gabi. She's 10 years old now and I really don't know what she likes anymore, but back in the day, whenever she saw a ladybug, she would kind of flip out. Her reaction wasn't fear, but rather like she was almost emotionally overtaken by the sheer beauty of ...
