Beer, yeah. Sausages, only in Dark Germany.

I'll have to kill Borov AGAIN.

Second night out.  Of 4.  I can't even remember the last time I did 4 in a row; even right now it's feeling like I'm just being held together by beer, but it's fun.  Sometimes RL gives you really good gifts.  (I get to go to Vimy Ridge with my lady in 2 weeks time; that's gonna be awesome!)

It would take an eternity to reach the earth and even when you reached the destination, you wouldn't actually hit the ground. You'd be going so fast you'd just go through and out the other side.

I did eat frankfurters when I was in Frankfurt 4 years ago.  But you kind of have to do that.  (And I did it a second time when I was coming back from Jordan and really really really really just WANTED a sausage).

I just noticed "race: 1" in that shot you posted - oooof.  Intentional?  Dunno.  But all the same - ooooof.  Nasty.

Yeah, I also noticed that. That's an oops on the part of the devs IMO.

It was more the name and the depiction though, in the context of apparently a war game.

Believe me, I frequent some boards on the internet where there's a large percentage of, shall we say, patriotic Americans, who love to use the German language when they want to look smart. Only their entire knowledge about all things German (and probably all things European) seems 50-100 years out of date. Which leads to the assumption that Germans are blonde, are called Karl or Hans or Gertrude, and want to rule ze world (hence the gloomy look).

It makes me cringe.

We don't eat that type of sausage up here, personally I'm vegetarian anyway, but I like fish sandwitches and I do make exceptions for them. Just thinking of it makes me want to have one. Mmm. I really should.

Oh, I notice you said Frankfurters - yeah, aren't those pretty much eaten anywhere? I was thinking of the nasty kind of sausage such as this:

That stuff is horrible.

I just had Burger King, with a piece of chocolate pie.  Lovely.   8)

There's a Burger King around the corner from here, but every time I check them they don't have much for vegetarians. McDonald's is even worse, they put meat on their salads even. Last time I saw it, anyway.  I sometimes, rarely, eat their fish fillet which is pretty nasty as well, but what can you do.

I've recently taken to buy from one of the pizza stands instead of McD. It's cheaper, tastes better, and they have veggie pizza. Win-win in my book.

Yeah, out here its almost impossible to buy a salad without meat in it - got a couple of vegetarian coworkers who struggle with the same problems.

Falafel is a vegetarian alternative, if there's a kebab shop or something nearby. I've also seen veggie kebab, it's kebab without the meat (ironically). Fish works as well, but not all vegetarians eat fish. Plus the good old veggie pizza.

With most fast food outfits, though, one is out of luck unless one wants to eat the large fries and not much else  :( onion rings maybe...

I'm a huge pizza fan. :)  Food of the gods so far as I'm concerned.  I've a great place just across the street from work which is always full of Italian tourists - a good sign!

Favourite pizza-related moment was actually in Berlin - I got a taste for spinach and eggplant in Turkey (they do amazing pancakes there), so I saw a veggie pizza with spinach and eggplant on the menu.  I'm not a vegetarian but I've no objection to taking a vegetarian option if it takes my fancy, or if I'm with a vegetarian at the time who is uncomfortable if someone orders meat, and so thinking that the price seemed good, and thinking that it would be a regular nine-incher, I (like a fool) ordered one.  Cue a 20-odd inch pizza which I really struggled through, but I'm proud that I did finish it.

It's "vant to rule ze vorld", by the way.  ;) 8)

My RL distractions are ended.  Recovery time then I get to pick things up again.

Saw this young lady playing live tonight.
