Still sounds really great.

I'm German, and whenever someone here claims the British have bad food I mention all the fantastic chutneys and pickles you guys have over there. Particularly fond of a thing called "Glorious Garlic Pickle" by The Bay Tree. I wish I had the recipe because they don't ship to mainland Europe.

The onions still do the heavy lifting, I guess, and "a few bottles of malt vinegar" sounds a little excessive.

I personally prefer pure caramelized onions without any other ingredients except a bit of salt, to be honest. Won't keep as long in the fridge but is the most versatile.

Even then, a BMW would tailgate and flash its headlights at you on a German autobahn.

The sticker should also say something like "But don't worry, we're going to be evaporated in a huge explosion anyway, due to the gigantic release of energy when you crash into my car in a few nanoseconds."

Onion chutney. And it IS divine. Add it to burgers or steak and you will regret having wasted so many years without it.

Clever, I like it. I wonder how many people read it and have no clue what it means.

I'm a German guy from Berlin, next year I'll be 50. My dad was born in 1944 and it's pretty safe to say he survived being cut off from food supplies by the Soviets only because Americans pulled off the Berlin Airlift. These brave pilots helped save the lives of people they had considered enemies not much earlier.

So I would not be alive were it not for Americans. Am I indebted to America? Fuck yes, of course I am.

Having said all that, it's so painful to see America turn to fascism - the very thing those GIs you mention fought against. A country I love, people I love, losing their minds and their hearts. Literally turning evil, led by a criminal lunatic who so obviously follows the demagogue playbook...

  1. It's a rather lame joke. The premise has been used a thousand times already.
  2. It's at the expense of someone's disability. Ask yourself how often Peter Dinklage has seen this joke in his life.

You can joke about everything, but at least make a fucking effort.

You can make jokes about absolutely everything. But if you do it at the expense of others, and the touchier and more sensitive the subject, the funnier the joke has to be - so you better make sure it's fucking hilarious and original.

People tend to miss that part. Especially the one about short people is always the same old punch line - the one along the lines of this post.

I'm not offended that OP made a joke about Peter Dinklage. I'm offended that it was a lame joke that I've seen a thousand times before.
