@RealEvilHRLady Blood sausages are shaped specifically for this purpose, like wieners, and can also be eaten cold. Not available anywhere else. In supermarkets, they're usually sold as cold cuts.

@RealEvilHRLady Around here, we mainly throw chocolate during Carnival. In my immediate hometown, we even throw blood sausage. That probably can't be adapted for an international audience.

[Eike Spengler @EikeGS]

@RealEvilHRLady But not if you throw it at your paying audience wearing a nice blouse or shirt ;-)

@RealEvilHRLady Most “ordinary” people do not understand the concept of compound interest or confuse it with the contractually fixed interest rate. Yet this is one of the most important sources of wealth or poverty.

@AllonShevat Glon is there too. It’s another location in Bavaria. 😉

@AllonShevat Pigs can recognise each other by the way they walk.

@AllonShevat The Old Celtic word ‘glana’ translates into German as ‘Glonn’. Initially name of a small river on which the community was founded later.

@mattcharney No problem. The world's largest cannabis fair takes place in Berlin in June. Photos ok — https://t.co/6rYhgkdB0E

@AllonShevat Do it like Hells Angels! They don't tweet to solve a problem... 😉

@mattcharney People who have sunk to this low level are called politicians...

Jullie moeten toch geen oude Duitse drinkgewoonten overnemen! Die zijn bij ons ook niet meer van deze tijd.😉

@AllonShevat @lufthansa Better book standard eco + “legroom” seats (+8 cm) or “extra legroom” seats in exit rows for an additional charge. Works out cheaper in the end.
