Testimonial - Well it seems that most of you "discordians" are little more than dupes of the Cathedral/NWO memetic apparatus after all -- "freethinkers" in the sense that you are willing to think slightly outside the designated boxes of correct thought, but not free in the sense that you reject the existence of the boxes and seek their destruction.

So, going to Frankfurt this Friday.

Spending a week in Germany on the company dime.  Specifically, Frankfurt.  I will have about 5 days of Roger time while I do this, as this trip is basically a junket.  I will have a rental car and no intention of driving on a different side of the street or whatever people do in Europe.  And essentially unlimited credit, provided I can shoehorn it into "entertainment expenses".

What do I need to do and see?

1. How on earth did you swing this?

2. How will the plant manage not to explode in your absence?

1.  My boss doesn't trust Mike the Engineer to travel on his own, much less with two hourly guys in tow.  Are you seeing the fatal flaw in his reasoning here?  Because I am.

2.  It explodes when I'm HERE.  Also, I have built a good department.  They should manage.

I'm sure you'll be just as responsible in Germany, unsupervised, as you are anywhere else , unsupervised.




Oh, dear.

Oh, it's better than that.  I am in charge of the expedition.  muhaha.

This chaps Mike's ass, by the way.  He makes 3 times what I make, but he's not a manager.

DANCE FOR ME, FAT BOY!  DANCE, I SAID!

Also, Mike wanted to arrange two rental cars, because there's four of us.

Translation:  He wants to rent a Porshe.  NOT HAPPENING ON MY WATCH.  We're going to rent a KIA or something.

Because a Canadian with a Mexican and two Americans from a South African company driving a South Korean car on the autobahn is COSMOPOLITAN AS FUCK.

All I ever hear about Germany is that there's castles, people walk around with really big beers, nobody gives a shit what you do and the gay bars are NUTS.

Do with that what thou wilt.

Wow. You'll be three hours away from one of my favorite yarn stores. With money. I am a jealous thing that is jealous.

I vote Staedel Museum. It has three floors of art. 1800's painters and such. From what my German yarn buddies say, it's pretty kick-ass.

I second Castles.
Also, Schwarzwald.
It has beauty.
Dammit, forgot how to change the size of a pic.

Culture-wise, Goethe House and Historisches Museum Frankfurt are must sees.  The Palmengarten is the largest botanical garden in Germany.

Avoid all bars in the central district - Frankfurt is Yuppie central, and German yuppies are even more annoying than British or American ones.  If it has glass, steel and doesn't serve beer in steins, it's not worth going in.

And I don't know if Bald Friede and Bald Jean still have their restaurant 'Bald Angels', in Cologne, but it's only two hours-ish away from Frankfurt and those chicks rock.
