Stollen :mmm:

Princesca got me a German stollen this year for Christmas.  The only 'good' variety of fruitcake there is.

I wonder if it is a bit like ordering General Tsao Chicken and finding out that General Tsao was some sort of genocidal maniac, for massacring Taiping rebels, Muslim rebels, etc.  ;)

yeah, that's what I thought too.

I once saw an ad in a Polish newspaper for the "Temujin Alternative Medicine Clinic". We speculated they practice a radical form of acupuncture, where they remove your entire head. :D

Lets not talk about your sexual proclivities and stick to yuletide pastries.

Do you go to the Lübeck Christmas Market? It's beautiful!

Only once, we usually go to Hamburg since that's where my family comes from. The christmas market in Hamburg is absolutely huge and if we are lucky the Dom is in town.

That's a good combo. :)

I guess there is some hidden meaning in your words, but it eludes me.

Not really.  Wiki describes "Stollen" as a "loaf shaped fruitcake."  Fruitcake is famously the worst holiday gift ever, one that no one wants to try.

Oh. That's all you meant.

I thought you meant he was mad.

Or even better, shoot you full of arrows rather than acupuncture needles.  ;)

I've seen Mao used humourously on products, which would be pretty offensive to relatives of his victims, but raise fewer eyebrows here.

Yeah, but his victims are all Chinese and they have to like him.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
