My. Goodness. I just about DIED from embarrass...Oh. My. Goodness. I just about DIED from embarrassment!!! Urrrghs... I know that this whole Lederhosen thing is a big deal when it comes to the perception of Germans abroad, but this reminded me SO MUCH of those atrocious shows my grandmother used to watch back in Germany, complete with clapping audience, plastic cows, tunes celebrating the beauty of Edelweiss and a fake mountain backdrop. *shudder* The Bavarians have taken over Germany when it comes to folklore... somebody ought to stop thiscultural invason! lol<br />Bavaria calls itself "The Free State Of Bavaria", and everybody who is NOT bavarian quietly dreams of them packing up their stuff and leaving the federation if they can't stop being arrogant buggers ;) A bit like Scotland in the UK, but the Scottish are preparing a referendum to break the bonds next year,bless them.<br />Bit of useless info: Warsteiner is not Bavarian beer, it's brewed in Warstein, Northrhine- Westfalia (my home state). It's brewed after the Pilsen method and therefor called Warsteiner Pils. Way more common in Bavaria is Weissbier, white beer, a kind of ale brewed after the top- fermentation method. <br />I'd take a dude in a kilt over a Lederhosen hoparound anytime :) When it comes to Tracht (german word for traditional clothes), the Scottish have it down to a T. Strong enough to throw tree trunks for leisure and no underwear? Oh YES PLEASE!!!<br />I was born in the wrong country, I swear >.<<br />Can I see your Mum actually WEARING that shirt? I bet she'd look awesome! Dirndl tops remind me of "victorian gothic" gear, so that's the one bit of Bavarian culture (apart from the fact that Sauerkraut is uber- tasty and they drink beer with everything) that's fine with me ;)lisbonlionesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199372003999708772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1008880872026993302.post-78047013621061427592012-10-15T08:09:05.697-04:002012-10-15T08:09:05.697-04:00He's more the kilt type honestly...and any fur...He's more the kilt type honestly...and any further comment on this subject made by me would be inappropriate on a family friendly PG13 blog!Life in Rehabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11434589062809471487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1008880872026993302.post-27597428423706987612012-10-15T07:12:28.212-04:002012-10-15T07:12:28.212-04:00Love the new header . . . . and the tagline!
