8. I like Gus...
Anyways... I think that is his name. He's the sales guy that you see working in random places in springfield... who always gets let down. Only one I can remember was as a doorbell salesman... oh and he got nuked in a treehouse of horror. Poor gus.

English is good to become a sucking commen sense philosopher or to order a Hamburger. Aber Denken kann man nur in Deutsch!

5. My brother would be able to converse with that, but he's 235 miles away.
So I can't go get him...:-)

9. The fact that Hitler wasn't able to speak or write german....
and was born in Austria, doesn't mean, we're better than the rest of the world.Über alles. We're not that arrogant. Your logic is highly questionable. Do you really believe, the fact that Georgie - this guy with the german sounding family name - doesn't speak english proves that Americans are superior to the rest of the world?
Kopfschüttelnd,
Dirk

10. Whoa, calm down.
The above quote is from a Simpsons episode, not mine.

12. Dirk: shut up about logic.
No one is trying to prove Americans are superior to anything.

This is coming from someone who has spoken German since he was 8, studied at Universitaet Konstanz, still has family in Thun, married (and divorced) a Allgauerin, and knows his way inside and out of the people, language and culture.

Ease up on what you don't need to be stressing on, m'man.

16. Forgive me...
I did just see this picture of Marx, the title of this thread, and - the worst of all and hard for me to admit: it seems that I've missed an episode of the Simpsons! Please don't send me to Guantamo Bay, I'm just about to improve myself.
Hallo aus Deutschland,
Dirk

13. I resent that
Austrians speak better or equal German than the Germans do. Egon Schiller, etc atest to that fact.

In fact I prefer an Austrian accent to, let's say a Hamburg accent. Much less harsh in pronounciation.

18. Let's fight: I sit here in Hamburg...
and I'm in that special kind of mood to liberate you.
O.k., a suggestion for peace: if you talk about Freud or Karl Kraus, I'm with you. But if I had to chose between the austrian accent and the bavarian one, I would ask the USA for Asyl.

19. LOL!
I'm sorry, Dirk39. Nothing personal. I'm sure you're a lovely guy! :D

Background: You should know that my ex in-laws were Viennese mostly. One family lived in Salzburg. I loved them immensely. It was just my ex- I couldn't stand.

I still have a special love of Austria. Mostkopf-Schawartzenegger aside of course. ;-)

20. I just calm down...
some UNO inspectors will do the job:-) My girlfriend has this kind of special love for Austria, too. I decided to liberate her first...
Greetings,
Dirk

22. hmm - doesn't happen often, but I'm with Dirk in this
I have no problems with Austrians in general(heck, I've got family from there), but I don't like the accent one bit. A sharp Hamburg accent (like Helmut Schmidt, for example) - now that is elegance.

I'm not too fond of any Germany accent spoken south of the Main-line; but as it's a matter of taste that may be just me.

23. vigorously disagree with this statement
"No one that speaks German can be an evil man...."

Damn it, Sean, no. It's "no one WHO speaks German can be an evil man." But this statement is only true because--and this is a proven fact, folks, only women are actually able to speak German.

24. What?
I have to disagree. Unless there is something funny about the woman statement that I don't get. I'm sometimes thick like that.

By the way, Adolf Hitler spoke German.
Ideas?
