Kudos, Bill - venisti, vidisti, vicisti (you came, saw, and nailed it...)!!!

L'Enfant died in poverty, leaving behind three watches, three compasses, some books, some maps, and surveying instruments, whose total value was about 45$. I first thought of replicae as prize, but upon reconsideration joining Roger in an all-inclusive visit here is probably much more a Mordsgaudi (Bavarian "great fun"):

(What was that again - one, two three, floor?)

One Bier, two Bier, three Bier, floor. Prost!

[Eva Elisabeth]

Thanks - in all honesty, I've never drunk an entire beer (gave up before), so how can I know...

In college we worked on the scientific principle that drinking a glass of milk before a beer party would spare you the floor part. In Europe, the German, Austrian, and Swiss beers were very good; the dark ales of England would put hair on the chest of Miley Cyrus!

THAT, I didn't need to know. But, I'll be proud and say that my college parties made me what I am today -- and I double-damn dare anyone to post a comment about that! Think it to yourself, but don't let it come out the tips of your fingers.

I'm with Eva on the subject of beer. My wife loves it, but I'd rather have a mixed drink or a brandy any day. Laurie, I remember hearing of that milk trick in college, and I also was told that taking a big pink swig of Pepto-Bismol would be even more effective.

The one time I tried it, it didn't work. The draft Old Milwaukee won.

Laurie - I was absolutely not thinking of you, truly only of that the beer itself would work against Miley's (whoever she is - singer? Actress?) chest hair growth.

Who is depicted here?
   

[wpbinzel]

Is he from the U.S.?

[Eva Elisabeth]

No, and not German either.

[wpbinzel]

No, and not German either.

Hmmmm. You quite correctly anticipated my next question.

[RJNorton]

Alpheus Starkey Williams?

[Eva Elisabeth]

Excellent guess, Roger, but, I'm sorry, not correct.

Hmmmm. But there's a statue in a city in the US dedicated to him:

Not German, but is he European?
