Haven't seen you around for some time. Miss the insane talks ;-)

Me too, my dear... me too. I'll see to it that I can be online again, though probably not before next week :-/

hey, what was that phrase that guy posted in his application? if it's as derogatory as I think it might have been, I'll just muggle him.

"Heil Herr Kurbishosen!"? Well, the term "Kürbishose" refers to a particular kind of trousers worn mainly by military in Germany (and I think Austria, but I'm not sure) in the earlier 20th century. You probably know what they look like; they have a funny cut that has this weird bulge-like thing just above the boots. Anyhow, as you can probably imagine, the blithering idiot that styled himself "Führer" 70 years ago, was often depicted wearing those. And the term "Heil" in that context is also quite noticeable (if sadly so).

random thought: Kürbis does mean Pumpkin -- meaning that guy has actually thought about what to write before doing so.
