Nooooooooo, I *like* being called Frauline. Makes me lizard squiggle and all. *And* it makes me reach for my whip and become incorrigible. All at the same time. See, we femmes are multi-faceted.

Whatever it is, I am sure it is *not kind*.
Besides, I don't care, because today, I was told something *very* sweet by an XY, and I have been preening ever since. So there.

Jawohl! Sie kann schon sein. Und, vielen dank fuer die viele brauchende Deutsche uebung. Ich tun es nicht genug.
F2S, just so you don't feel left out, the original point was how the pictures of your t-shirt and whip only goes to prove Nietzsche right: "When dealing with wenches (that's the polite translation), don't forget the whip!"

THREAD DRIFT ALERT!!!
My german has gotten pretty rusty as well (not that it was ever that great), and I was struggling to remember a saying I'd heard that, translated roughly, went something like "In beer there is strength, in wine there is wisdom, in water there is bacteria!" Do either or you gentlemen, or anyone else here, remember how to say this auf deutsch?
TIA

Has anyone else noticed that the one who started this topic, the one with the pearly whites, has been conspicuously absent from any followup discussion?

Reminds me of a song, "ein, zwei, G'suffa" The spelling may be off, It sort of means, 1, 2, bottoms up. I remember taking a German class, Or was it a dream.
I noticed on joining, that it is asked for a new person to type something about themselves. I am not good at "beating my own drum". I hope my profile works. I am interested in this area, mainly because of a very close friend is in SF. He went through selection a year ago last Sept. He was deployed in Iraq for a year, Strykers(SP?) and is in training now. I have great admiration for those who serve our country. I feel when I was in active duty, I served under some very exceptional people, and was honored to have served with them.
I think most of my friends now are Vets are currently serving. I have a pretty decent machine/wood/welding shop. I was involved in Mountain Rescue, Currently a volunteer with a sheriffs office in my county, in SAR. I am married, with two great children, (12 and 10). Again, if you have a question please ask.
