The Cappucino Corral

[Statistikhengst]

Good morning, Cappuccinistis.

Was going to take a long bike-tour with little Princess Statalina, but dark storm clouds are gathering here and even the weather service is warning people to stay inside, and dry....

crap.....

what is the translation of those first few German(?) words on that on AC/DC song?

Rock of Ages song - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

These four words that you hear at the start of "Rock of Ages", mean nothing, though the band sometimes jokingly claims it means "running through the forest silently". It's actually just German sounding gibberish, said by producer Mutt Lange during one of the later takes of the song. Lange was a perfectionist and would often do dozens & dozens of takes, and after repeatedly beginning so many with the standard count, "One, two, three, four" he simply started saying nonsense words instead, the band liking this one so much that they included it on the album.[2]

Mertex Haley is gone ! Joe is the biggest threat. Mike had a meltdown until he found the hidden idol lol. Who gets on your nerves more Shirin or Dan? Tyler is still playing it smart imo and I like Carolyn too. I think Mike, Rodney and Joe are going to be the threats and they will try to get people to side with them. But people are as sick of Rodney as they are of Shirin and Dan

drifter I know.....I was so pissed that the two white-collar decided to stay with the blue collar and voted Haley off. Joe indeed has a big target on his back....maybe he can keep winning the immunity idols...he seems to be the strongest player so I'm sure that even those that like him will be glad to vote him off. I can't stand Dan one bit.......he's such an arrogant pig, I hate people who are condescending like he is. Shirin is annoying, but she would be a good one to keep till the end, because surely no one would vote for her.

I want Dan, then Rodney gone. It will take a miracle to turn the game around so that Joe can have some supporters, but I've seen it happen before, so maybe he'll luck out. I hope Dan pisses another person off so bad that they'll side with Joe....

Joe is a great player, I hope he keeps winning too. I can;t stand Dan or Shirin they are both super annoying. Dan's useless basically. But Rodney grinds my nerves even worse then Dan & Shirin, He's so cocky and controlling. Mike melted down, I don;t think he will win I think Joe will. But I think Mike's attractive so I hope he sticks around a while

I hope you're right about Joe winning......I think he is by far the best player. The others are just relying on their alliances to keep them in the game. Hopefully, they'll start getting jealous and realize that eventually they'll be the next to go and change their alliances and give Joe a break. I like Mike but he's not a very good player. I didn't like that he was willing to throw the game off so that Kelly could win.......and she was having a lot of trouble even with him helping her.

Baskets + Magenta = Deutsche Telekom!

The national telephone company for Germany, called "Die Deutsche Telekom", has it's corporate headquarters in Bonn, Germany, in a suburb called Bonn-Beuel.

As part of it's advertising strategy, ad makers for the Telekom came up with a pretty cool shade of magenta that is very similar to the magenta used for the Pink Panther.

20 years ago, in 1995, the Telekom started to support Bonn's own pro-basketball team, called the BONN (Telekom) BASKETS.

Swinging by the Telekom Campus today while on a long bike tour with my daugher, I saw three new large ads for the Baskets, also for the Telekom, with a nice play on words:

The "T" is for "Telekom".

"Vielen DANK" is German for "many thanks".

By having spelled "dank" as the American English "Dunk" (as in "slam dunk"), the Telekom has developed a pretty nice advertising strategy. Essentially, "many thanks for many dunks!"

Here two more such placards:

Mertex I likeJoe too,I think he is the best player. I don't think Mike is a great player, he had a meltdown before finding the idol. I just like his looks. I kind of want Rodney gone first, then Dan then Shirin. My favorite player is Joe, but as far liking people on there goes I like Tyler and Carolyn. I am rooting for Joe to win though.
