I request the Horst Wessel song.

What would be a better sentence to annoy the English?

"Do you mind if I sit here?"

or

"Dogs suck!"

The USTA has apologized to Germany for performing the antiquated first verse of that country's national anthem—the "Deutschland, Deutschland Über Alles" one, last used by the Nazis—before yesterday's Fed Cup match between German Andrea Petkovic and American Alison Riske.

OTOH, for a real Nazi vibe, the Horst Wessel would have been played.
Deutschland über alles is, at worst, :pickelhaube: :saupreiß:

PS: I see the Führer of Languish agrees.

Germany's "federal assembly" (lower house of parliament plus similar number of delegates from the states) elected our next president today. The parties often nominate some celebrities for the assembly and this time the Greens nominated a well-known drag queen.

OK, but what about the one behind Merkel?

Cadia has fallen to Abbadon's Black Crusade, yet fear not, for in the Imperium's Darkest Hour, the Lord of Macragge returns!

My grandma died about three hours ago.  She had been suffering from dementia really badly for the last few months, and I knew it was coming, but it's still a shock that it happened so suddenly. 

I'm glad I decided to visit her today after work.  She even knew who I was when I first got there.  She forgot after a while, but that's okay. 

...

RIP Grandma.  I'll miss you a lot, and I wish I had thought to thank you today for all the things you did for my mom, my sister, and I.

Sorry to hear this MBM. God bless you and your family in this time of grief.

Yup.

Ynead, the prophesied Eldar goddess of Death and Rebirth has finally been born too.

The setting is set for maximum escalation in the upcoming 8th edition.

I'd bet dollars to donuts that Gazgkull will ascend to being full Krok like the Beast from 32K. All the Necrons will wake up. Full on Tyrannid invasion that the Dark Angels and their successors will fight, led by the Lion. Etc, etc

Huh. It's weird to see American McD's taking over how things are done in Europe. The "My Burger" concept was introduced in more than half the restaurants here in Austria May last year; pastries are pretty common, too, if a McCafé is part of the restaurant, and the seating arrangements are similar as well. Main difference is that restaurants here don't have your order being brought to tables, I think.

[jimmy olsen]

Lol, the only one that really sells it is Khornate Ariel. 

[celedhring]

The order-via-touchpad thing is creeping into several fast food branches over here too. The advantages seem marginal to me, but I guess it's cool.
