So how's the metamorphosis going? Any urges to invade neighbouring countries yet? Are you telling Austrian jokes yet?

The final test to see if you're German yet.

My answer is D.
So, am I German?

I have to admit though that I actually watched a few episodes of Knight Rider when I was a kid back in the 80ies and think that there are worse shows on TV.

I think the Americans are more likely to forget about the war than about Hasselhoff: "Yeah, WW2 wasn't nice, but what is it with you guys and The Hoff?"

(I also watched it in the 80s, but hey we had nothing else on tv... and no: I didn't admire David - though my sis did

)

Knight Rider freaking rocked!

I used to watch that, the A-team and Airwolf religously as a kid!

Diss David Hasselhoff, don't diss the 80s ride!

Thanks for making me feel like I am starting to get old, I am still trying to convince myself I am 21.

I still wonder who that guy was who took the second role behind the Trans Am.

KITT was the cars name right? He really was a great actor!

Hey I am half Ginzo Sicilian, half German but mostly American. I drink Oktoberfest when they make it, and eat Bratwurst every sunday during (real football, not that soccer stuff...J/k) football games, along with gratuitous amounts of lager.

Can I be German too?

No problem at all. We "Germans Anonymous" here at Subsim meet at Skybird's place each Sunday morning at 10:00.
There we make plans, because if you are German you have to make a plan first, the "Skybird-Schlieffen" plan. e.g. (August owns the copyright on this, he is half-German),
or just a plan like the "ultimate machine to overtake and conquer the world". Latest idea: "the Euro", that was Schroeder's idea.
Things like that. Newbies welcome!

Good, (gud)

You think we (

us proud Germanic Huns, who broke the Roman Empire) can get the Russians back one day? The Berlin wall thing chaps my backside.

Dan D · 01-16-12, 06:56 PM

Brilliant idea!

We (Germany) leave the EU and look to the East and join up with with Russia. A German-Russian Union has more power than the EU.

Bad Idea Mr.D.

Just look what happened last time we made a deal with the Russians!

They forced us ( proud, noble, godlike Germans) to attack them. they then manipulated the brits and Americans into thinking we were the jerks....Even though they got just as much from the Polish invasion as us Huns did.

Join with them, we should invade them.

...again!

edit: are half germans considered Übermensch? I should get a special break because my other half was a WW2 ally.

We would have won, was it not for THOSE MEDDLING KIDS. (gratuitous Scooby Doo reference)

You mean the voice of K.I.T.T.? That would be William Daniels. He's had a very long career in movies and TV, including doing the voice of the car twice on The Simpsons.
