|

...well, a model of one. I was working on my HT layout in Sketchup (architectural sketch/3D package now owned by Google - it rocks) and said to myself, "Self, I need a model of the Barco so I can see how it'll fit. I'll just do a very simple mockup, a couple of rectangles and that'll do the job."
Three hours later...

Nein, ich bin totalfaker. I love Germany (I also love Finland - you'd think this would make me a big fan of Nico Rosberg, but I'm a Raikkonen man so there you go) but I only know enough of it to be an ass by stringing near nonsense phrases together. My only knowledge of it comes from making assumptions about which words should get fused together, the names of corners on the Nurburgring, and Michael Schumacher. This results in a somewhat limited conversational ability...
I know Europeans tend to call projectors 'beamers' because my company goes a lot of business in Europe, so it seemed funny. If that's actually what you'd call one in Germany it's a complete and utter coincidence!

if you change one letter it is even gramatically correct:
Mein got im himmel, das ist ein Barcobeamer!
I honestly do not know why we give a device an english name, when it is called differently in english. Same with mobile phones: we call them 'handys'

Ohh that's gross. It also looks like it musta hurt. Look at all that waisted beer flowing out the nostrils. Also note the friend next to him. Looks like a chain reaction is about to happen

The right place and the wrong place at the same time.
Right place. Being there with a camera and your finger on the button for that perfectly timed shot.
Wrong place . That sucker standing in front of him when he erupted

It takes all kinds. How did anyone pick out the nostril bit? Now that you have me "in the details", are his teeth coming out or is this Beetle Bailey's twin bro?
