Have you heard that the spaghetti god creator has been given an $80,000 advance to write the bible of Pastafarianism? |

So yesterday I found out that a recent acquaintance of mine is on tour with "Nena", which of course made me think of "99 Luftballons", which came out & was a big hit while I was living in Germany. I loved Nena, all day yesterday I couldn't get that song out of my head, I went to bed with it floating around inside my skull. I hadn't thought of the song all day today, & then I get to work & what do you think I see in the hallway, that's right fscking red ballons, now I have the song going over & over & over up there, and it's not the english version, oh no, its the Germany version, as it should be of course. So since I'm setting here in front of a computer, I decide to look up Nena's homepage on the net (I mean, she has to have one right?), I'm all ready to go look for her album that came out this year. I'm looking around on the site, translated via Google (my German language skills are just about gone), when I start looking at pictures of the tours, first picture I see is a picture of Nena and one of the guys with her is the guy who just moved into the neighborhood, cool. As it turns out she has a thriving career, and a new double album that came out earlier this year, I think I'll have to go find it, "Willst Du Mit Mir Gehn", this is a follow up to her 2002 20th anniversary album "Nena Feat.Nena", which is comprised of new versions of her hits. This album launched her into the spotlight once again. Oh yeah, she's still hot.... 99 Luftballons Hast du etwas Zeit für mich Dann singe ich ein Lied für dich Von 99 Luftballons Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont Denkst du vielleicht g'rad an mich Singe ich ein Lied für dich Von 99 Luftballons Und das sowas von sowas kommt 99 Luftballons Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont Hielt man für Ufos aus dem All Darum schickte ein General 'Ne Fliegerstaffel hinterher Alarm zu geben wenn's so wär Dabei war'n dort am Horizont Nur 99 Luftballons 99 Düsenflieger Jeder war ein grosser Krieger Hielten sich für Captain Kirk Das gab ein grosses Feuerwerk Die Nachbarn haben nichts gerafft Und fühlten sich gleich angemacht Dabei schoss man am Horizont Auf 99 Luftballons 99 Kriegsminister Streichholz und Benzinkanister Hielten sich für schlaue Leute Witterten schon fette Beute Riefen: Krieg und wollten Macht Man wer hätte das gedacht Das es einmal so weit kommt Wegen 99 Luftballons Wegen 99 Luftballons 99 Luftballons 99 Jahre Krieg Liessen keinen Platz für Sieger Kriegsminister gibt's nicht mehr Und auch keine Düsenflieger Heute zieh ich meine Runden Seh' die Welt in Trümmern liegen Hab' 'nen Luftballon gefunden Denk' an dich und lass' ihn fliegen American Version, You and I in a little toy shop Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got Set them free at the break of dawn 'till one by one they were gone Back at base, sparks in the software Flash the message "something's out there" Floating in the summer sky Ninety nine red balloons go by Ninety nine red balloons Floating in the summer sky Panic bells, it's red alert There's something here from somewhere else The war machine springs to life Opens up one eager eye And focusing it on the sky The ninety nine red balloons go by Ninety nine decisions treat Ninety nine ministers meet To worry, worry, super scurry Call the troops out in a hurry This is what we've waited for This is it boys, this is war The President is on the line As Ninety nine red balloons go by Ninety nine knights of the air Ride super high-tech jet fighters Everyone's a super hero Everyone's a Captain Kirk With orders to identify To clarify and classify Scramble in the summer sky Ninety nine red balloons go by As ninety nine red balloons go by Ninety nine dreams I have had In every one a red balloon It's all over and I'm standing pretty In this dust that was a city If i could find a souvenir Just to prove the world was here And here is a red balloon I think of you and let it go

Back in December while being nostalgic for holidays past I made a post in the virtual cafe about Krampus and the holiday tradition of putting ones shoes out for Nikolaustag. I thought the post should probably have been made here instead, and since I've been collecting images of old Krampus postcards, I've made a webpage of them for others to enjoy. Below you will find the link to the webpage, and I have also quoted my original post. http://homepage.mac.com/jocnsoc/krampus/
Quote:Posted on Sunday, December 25, 2005 - 9:59 pm: Edit PostDelete PostPrint Post Move Post (Moderator/Admin Only) Reminiscing about childhood holiday memories today, I started thinking about how as a child in Germany, my sisters and I used to put our shoes outside our doors waiting to be filled by St. Nicklaus and his sidekick Krampus, we did this on the eve of Nikolaustag, or on the 5th of December. Sometimes Krampus/Knecht Ruprecht is the good guy bringing gifts, equal to or replacing St. Nicholas. 1555 is the earliest recorded events of St. Nicholas bringing gifts, but this "gift giving" occured on December 6th, which was the only "Christmas" gift giving in the middle ages. Back then Knecht Ruprecht, Krampus, was a much more ominous figure than he is today. Traditionally our shoes were filled with switches and coal if the we had been bad, and candies, small gifts, and coins if good. My shoes always had switches and coal in them, along with candies. Nikolaus and Krampus don't always make a personal appearance now-days, but in some places children still leave their shoes by the window or the door on the night of Dec. 5. In the morning (Dec. 6) they awake to discover small gifts and goodies stuffed into their shoes, left by St. Nicholas & Krampus. This is similar to the American Santa Claus custom, although the dates are different. to see the below quote complete with pictures, click here Quote: Gruss vom Krampus! The Krampus enjoys many different leisure activities. One of his favorite ways to relax is by tormenting and dominating "naughty" people, mostly children. First, he befriends them in order to gain their trust... Then, he beats them with switches,... ...carries them off to his lair,... ...and, if the children are especially naughty, banishes them to a much "warmer" place. Krampus also enjoys associating with members of the opposite sex... ..but sometimes his relationships take a turn for the worse. He also has a passion for sports,... ..higher education,... ...motor vehicles,... ...music,... ...and just plain old mischief. Occasionally, the Krampus will be seen consorting with "shady" characters... In order to further his evil agendum while subsequently accumulating large sums of cash from illegal dealings. Hmmm...sounds a lot like a certain political group currently in charge of American governmental affairs. In early December, during the ritual of Krampusnacht, people all over the world celebrate the great Krampus in hopes that, after the rapture, he will return to Earth and execute all foolish nonbelievers (after all, "Krampus" kind of sounds like "Christ" right?). In the meantime, many choose to dress up like the Krampus in order to show their absolute loyalty. It is only a matter of time before Krampus takes over the world, and krampus.com will be there to help him dominate the weak and paltry human race. Join the movement now before it is too late! Hail Krampus!
