i quote the late great hunter s. thompson who said...

"once you get locked into a serious woman collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the german women. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of a relationship with a german woman, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon." - from, fear and loathing in the prussian heartland.

that said, i am ever ready for further punishment.

Do you now get a sudden urge to march towards Paris when you hear a marching band?

When you speak do you always sound really mad now?

Do you now take ownership of lounge chairs at hotel pools by placing your towel on it and your man purse beside it?

The Germans are famous throughout the world for marking their pool-side territory.

Apparently they even claim victory over the Brits in the pool chair war...lol

Bahamian?  The Bahamas are over a thousand miles from here.

After thinking about it, the thought crossed my mind... I should have asked what the sheep are like.  :D

I can see it now, the two of you go out for a romantic night on the town. It's all going smoothly at first, but then you say something and she thinks it's a crack about her weight. Then the arguing begins, she gets up and moves towards you slowly. You start to tremble with fear as you feel the ground sagging beneath her... as she reaches for you, you scream.

"HELGA NOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

[*INSERT FAT CHICK IMAGE HERE*]

The next morning she exacts her revenge by claiming the last lounge chair with her insanely over sized towel.


I kid of course, I think German women are pretty hot. It must be the accent...


And for what Curval posted, maybe the Germans have territory issues... it would explain a lot really.

Sorry for the pic, for some reason the BBS doesn't like one of the words in the URL so it keeps changing it to "smurfy"

LOL...murse.

I initially thought you spelled it wrong, then had an "ahhhhh" moment.

 :D

I will remember that one.

To be fair to Germans, I have not met one I didn't like and get along with.

Well, one wasn't keen on me, but I liked him well enough.....the guy in question was named Andreas.  He had just arrived in Canada to work in the Toronto Office of the accounting firm I worked for.  The day he was being shown around and introduced a bunch of us were having lunch in the lunch room of the office.  Gunther, the other German guy in the office (a manager) was tasked with showing him around.

The two of them show up at the door of the lunch room and when I saw Gunther I asked him if he was going to be playing in the paintball game we had all organised that weekend.  He explained that he couldn't because he was moving house and his wife would be upset if he ducked out of that to go.

"That's too bad man, because you'd be REALLY good at this game.  You're German."  I said, without thinking.

One of the other auditors then said "Yea, Gunther and Andreas would be out annexing all the farms surrounding the painball field."

I thought that was hilarious and couldn't stop laughing.

Andreas didn't quite see the humour in it.  Gunther laughed though.

okay so.  the topic at hand is the german woman.

1.  they will own you.  check your balls at the door...do not pass go.  better man up if you want to survive it.
2.  they take their tops off at the beach.  better check your jealousy off the list also, because if she has nice cans there isn't a man that won't check that toejam.
3.  could be worse, could be italian.  they like to throw things and break them.

i have dated two women in germany (at one point simultaniously) and up to this point and i have to say.  i wish they all could be california girls.  (or south american for spice)

4.  they can cook, but don't expect it to have a chitload of flavor.

5.  ready for further punishment.  *squeaking is a natural german tendancy.  it should not be confused with unhappiness.

:)

next question?
