Hey. How’s it going? Remember me? Yeah, probably not. That’s ok though, it has been a looooong time. Longer than I expected, that’s for sure. I had no idea how busy settling into and remodeling a new house would be. If I told you that was the only reason I haven’t been around, well that … More I’m Baaaaaaaaack
January 5th, 2014 You know, living a vagabond/expat life is exciting and I love it. New places, new cultures, getting to live in places where other people only get to visit. I am not sure if I meet the modern definition of a vagabond, whatever that may be, but considering I had not lived anywhere … More Two Familes, Two Countries, and Too Many Miles In Between
You can see how well my time travel plan worked as evidenced by the multitude of posts since then. Ha ha. I am here to tell you though, contrary to all speculation and news reports, that Germerican Denglish is NOT dead. Well, maybe there weren’t any news reports. But I am guessing some of my … More Time Travel Failure (a.k.a. This blog is not dead)
I am going to go back in time. Not far mind you, just back to the beginning of January. It’s really the only way I can try to make up for deviating from my plan. It was a good plan, and a simple one. Simple plans are the best kind after all, and with the … More I Have Just Invented Time Travel
What is the number one, singular, “most bestest” thing about McDonald’s? That’s right, breakfast! And I’m not talking about some new fangled pancake-McMuffin concoction that all the kids are eating these days. I’m talking old school man, the originals. Egg McMuffin, Sausage McMuffin, Sauage McMuffin with Egg, and the king of them all……the Bacon, Egg, … More Don’t Trust a McDonalds That Hides in a Gas Station
Germerican Denglish wishes you a Happy New Year’s celebration and a Guten Rutsch!* German Glossary Guten Rutsch – Literally translated means “good slide”, but really means a good start in the new year
This I found at an Autobahn gas station. I would have never thought that a magazine stand could represent a cultural attitude…….. but you would never see Playboy just chillin next to Cosmopolitan anywhere in America. Especially not without that magical plastic bag to hide the big, bad boobies that would singlehandedly destroy the moral … More Things You Don’t See in America #6
3 days, 6 movers, 11 crates, 342 packages, and 12,647 pounds. That’s what it takes to pack up our worldly possessions for their nice little trip to America. Toys, office supplies, dishes, pots, pans, TVs, couches, chairs, clothes, towels, beds, and so on and so on. And all of it packed tetris style into those … More By The Numbers (Moving Update #3)
My wife’s VISA is here already! It actually got here on Friday, but I haven’t had the time to post an update. Two days is pretty fast though, especially when they said a week or two. That being said I do have a f aux pah of epic proportions to report. It is something that … More Mailmen Cause Identity Theft (Green Card Update #3)
December 10th, 2013 I sold my car the other day, and it sucks! I loved my car. Loved, loved, loved my car! For nine beautiful years I owned the coolest little coupe in the world, and it was a part of me. If you don’t believe that, think for a minute what a car goes … More Cars Are People Too!
