Look Out, Germany
February 5, 2014 I don't mean to brag, but I'm pretty much an expert on the German language. Yep. Two point five years of public high school German right heeere, playah! In fact, I would be saying all this "auf Deutsch," but I don't want to dazzle y'all with my linguistic...um...awesomeness.
Anyway, I mention this because today's Wreck is so hilariously horrendous that I may have to lapse into German to adequately describe it.
Ready?
Here goes:

Gross unpassend fliegend Fekalie-Kuchen!
Wo IST die Toiletin? Fahrvergnügen?
Ich bin ein Berliner! Schnell! Schnell!
Ahem. Well, I think that gets the point across.
It should be noted that the cake was supposed to read, "Germany, HERE we come!" (Ah, those pesky, hilarity-inducing homonyms.)
Whether the cake was supposed to look like a baked poo souffle with a side of #2 nuggets, however, is anyone's guess. (Although I'm guessing "no.")
Hey, Sarah R., keep it down, will ya?

@Bob -- I used in it in mid-70's. My husband and I STILL remember all of the dialogues.
Ahhhh, yes, and another Epcot ensues! It cracks me up that everyone thinks they read the cake wrong when they actually read it correctly. Yes, it REALLY says what you THINK it says! It really really does.
Lol I am sure all the Germans would run away just seeing this cake. Heck I would run too considering how much poo it looks to have on it. Blech.
I love it - die bekommen sofort ein High Five wenn sie hier sind!
I had a chat with Germany about this; they agreed to cease and desist from all eavesdropping activities.
@Bob and Sharyn - I now question if we still had the same thing in the early 90's.
Gruß dich, Monika!
Gruß dich, Andreas! Wie geht's?
Nicht schlecht. Kennst du Ingo?
Nein.
Ingo ist mein Freund!
Gruß dich, Monika! Wohnst zu auch hier im Buchenau?
And with the accompanying picture in our book, we'd love to make fun of Ingo und ihre rote Jeans. (Hey, they weren't popular back then)
Oh, confident cake
Pass me the earplugs, will you?
Germany´s on fire.
You may indeed think of Germany and seashells, they have a long coast line and islands that are quite popular with tourists - in the north of the country.
The toilet is down the hall, to the right.
SuBee, yup, we've got three inches of snow here. Might not sound like much, but I live in Western Washington, where even 1/4 of an inch of snow is enough to cancel school and cause widespread panic. It's the end of the world!
This wreck... what can I say. Reminds me of that scene in Amelie where Amelie is guessing how many people in Paris can, um... be heard in Germany. (Fifteen!)
Ich denke, dass ich diese genaue Post gelesen hat, vor, weiss ich nicht, drei Jahre? Hast du es wiedergeholt? Jedenfalls witzig!
Deutschland, höre mein Höhepunkt!
Wir spielen Fussball, kommst du?
Nein, ich sehe lieber fern.
Hoppe, hoppe, Reiter
Wenn er faellt, dann schreit er
faellt er in den Graben

Auch DU haeltst die Küche sauber, Soldat!
