We did a little tour on our own into Germany one spring, about 20 years ago. It was only a few days, we didn't have much money and we absolutely didn't know what we were doing. We rented a car and just started wandering. It was just at the point of technology where GPS was still new. We didn't have any so we just started driving with a shitty map and no clue.

We had done some traveling in other countries before and we had met several famously obnoxious German tourists. We had partly expected to meet equally arrogant Germans in their home country.

Instead we met the most open, kind hearted, brilliant people ever. Everywhere we stopped, we'd meet three or four locals who were more than happy to give directions, recommend restaurants, bars, tea shops and sites to see.

At one point we met a truck driver who gave us a ton of information and showed us a driving route on a big format ringed binder map book. When he was done talking, he left the book. We told him he was forgetting his book and he said we could have it as it had detailed updated map info of the entire country. It was an expensive book and I knew it, so I told him not to give it away. He insisted and said he didn't mind.

I still have that map book on my shelf and whenever I see it, I think of that trip and all those people we met.

Totally loved Germany after that.

My favorite part to that is to discover something for the first time, fall in love with it, think it's the most amazing thing ever ..... then realize that it's ten years old and everyone got excited about it a long time ago.

But it also means I don't give a shit anymore and I just enjoy watching things that make me happy and interest me, instead of trying to chase after the latest fad.

Yes it was ... but it was often preyed upon by the Philosoraptor

What is the deal with this orange orangutan? The rightwing conservative movement can throw him under the bus and get a new idiot to lead their movement .... so why hang the fate of your movement on this moron? Seriously ... they could find a younger, stronger more charismatic individual to lead them that would be ten times more dangerous than this aging orange deformed sea lion.

Here's a condensed version of all the books ...

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
