Hey, where'd you get that cool "ss?" But isn't it "ei" sounds like "i" and "ie" sounds like "e?" I thought the poo poo word made an "i" sound not an "e" sound. Or is that a Nord v Sud thing? My German teacher was a douche, so he may have taught us all wrong about vowels and pronunciations.

I used to think they called it "Wackenhut" Security because the guards sat out in those little huts wacking it.

I know that is what i did when I was a security guard.

You're correct, that was my typo. Scheiße is the correct spelling.

And to get the ß, you type Alt+0223
Ää Ëë Öö Üü

Those Alt codes are: 0196, 0228, 0203, 0235, 0214, 0246, 0220, 0252

Very helpful for the American on a PC without a German keyboard. Or you can be lazy and through an e after the vowel to simulate the umlaut, and just use a double-s instead of ß, which is really the direction they are going in Germany anyway. Even my German keyboards don't have the ß.

Well, I was all set to type danke schon, baby danke schon complete with umlauts but I am on Der Apfel and those codes don't do the arbeit or I am zu viel ein dumbkopf to figure them out. Wiedersehen...

The thumb nail is too small to see and when you click it it doesn't do anything. What does is say?

Never heard of that Pho King place.

I'd be afraid if I ordered the Happy Family I would get something like this:

Ha Ha! Well, if they were sammichin' me that would be one thing. Sammichin' Mike Meyers - I might lose my appetite. And if I was hungry enough and it was just Fuk Mi and Fuk Yoo sans Austin I would say, "Girls, I gotta eat something first. Then, you've got a half hour to have your way with me, because I know a half hour after eating Chinese I am going to be hungry again!"

There originally was a Chris Steakhouse. Ruth bought it, and kept the name. For some reason I don't remember, she had to move locations, and for some reason wasn't allowed to use the name Chris Steakhouse so she made it Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.

"Mo Pho Vietnamese Cuisine."

Ha ha! I am picturing their customers ordering:

Sam: "I'd like some of that salty Mo Pho I had last time I was here. Bob what are you going to have?"

Bob: "You know me, I love some spicy Mo Pho. Give me the number 4 - extra spicy!"
