The "cretinisation" of Euro culture proceeds apace...

#2 Ah, Munich. I've spent many a night in the Munich Banhof waiting for a train. The beer made it all worth while. Reminds me of catching the last train out of Munich on the last night of Octoberfest. All compartments and the corridors of the train packed full of people who have been drinking beer and eating sausages for days. The smell was beyond belief.

#3 Well - Don't they know that the original Busch came from Germany. Thus it IS a German brew, only it was not made in Germany

In the Movie Patton : "General - Even if Rommel wan't there, if you defeted Rommel's plan, thus you defeated Rommel!"

#5 German fans will need a Bud to sit through the Toby Keith "Shock'n Ya'all" Half time extraviganza, brought to you by Microsoft...
Oh wait, no halftime during the sissy girl football game!
(OK, OK ...just having a little Ugly American fun! Chicago hosted some World Cup games, and I know it is the real deal!)

#6 Steve - I was stuck in the Munich station one morning, and around 8 am a group of German soldiers who I think had just finished their leave showed up, beyond drunk and while waiting for their train they spent the morning drinking even more and marching (though that turned progressively into staggering) up and down the station, singing the paint off the walls.
