    my funniest couch-surfing experience was a single German guy, in his thirties, he had taken a year off to travel the world. Before he came to our house, he had been in Argentina, where someone had stolen his camera. So he asked me where to go for a new one. I sent him to B&H.

    EWWWWWWWWW DENTON HAS BEDBUGS!

    *rob*

  2. yeah why is that jewish mothers always seeem to be all up in their kids business!? (even as adults?) it’s horrible to stereotype i know but this seems to be the case like 100 percent of the time no?

    i think if i had to have a mother i would want one of those pursey lipped waspy ones who dont like to talk.

    *rob*

  3. Kens, thanks. Confirms my preliminary research.

    “But i am curious- why Berlin as opposed to say, Paris or Moscow or Venice, for example.”

    To make a long story short: 11217 raved about it. But yeah, the real answer is I’ve been to Paris and don’t have the vacation time to do Russia or Italy. I kept hearing great things about Berlin so figured why not?

    When he came back he says to me ‘so many Chews there, ve don’t have this in Germany’. I said, Karsten, it’s because you killed them all!

    He was a little taken aback.

  5. denton, quiet a few of the older Jewish Americans in my building who wouldn’t even own a German car and frown on those that do. Mercedes emblem was on the front gates of Auschwitz (not sure how true that is or not – and don’t want to google it at work).

  6. Seems???

    Are you new to New York???

    The use of the word “seems” was a literary softening device. He was Brazilian but I didn’t think of him as Brazilian but more like he should be here.
