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).

The One Who Got Away (Part 6): PLOT TWIST

Quick Translation: This confirms that German citizenship will not be opposed, if within two years it can be verified that the aforementioned person no longer possesses citizenship for Trinidad and Tobago e   and/or has fulfilled the requirements for the loss of this citizenship and that nothing has happened in the meantime, which would forbid naturalization.  I almost forgot what it felt like to receive a industrial size dose of 100% homegrown German bureaucratic pedantry. Luckily, the German authorities will never leave you too long without a fix. You can count on that. As you can see from the picture above (and from my previous posts), Trinidad and Tobago e  had only been mentioned once in passing up until now, when I finalized my application and paid the fee. Mr. S: Your mother was naturalized in the U.S. after you were born? Me: Yes, but she never applied for Trinidadian citizenship for me, which would have had to have been done by my 18th birthday.  Mr. S: Ok. (Ac

The One Who Got Away (Part 5)

Pro tip: Don't estimate the amount of time it will take to review your citizenship application based on the amount of time it took to get the results of your citizenship test. So far, this has been the area of the German-side of the process that ran a little closer to my bureaucratic expectations, namely, if an official expresses a length of time -- e.g. 3-6 months -- things will start moving closer to the six month mark than the three month mark. Getting down to the wire, I was (and still am) slightly concerned that this would drag on and I would have to renew my U.S. passport first, since it's getting kinda close to the point where it's only valid for six months. This would have cost me 1.) more money 2.) plus a trip to a consulate that actually does shit for U.S. citizens 3.) money and time off work for a trip to Bremen, Berlin, or Frankfurt. As luck would have it, I finally received notification that the Germans are letting me in! The full term is that they are
