	If guns had genders a Ballard would probably be trans so a Gemmer Trapdoor would be understandably "embarrassed".

	If you are not a native of Germany, it is nearly impossible to learn how to correctly pronounce a vowel with an umlaut. Maybe this is why.

	I have been struggling to pronounce Köln correctly for over 30 years and now I have in-laws living there. As an excuse, I have two hearing aids

	I worked for years with a former (rare) submarine sailor who came to our country after the war. He'd been born to a family of a city official in Cologne. He spoke the city's name about like we mostly do- like the scented stuff in bottles. Cologne. Never recall hearing an umlaut come out of him anywhere. Go figger...

Tӧlz is another of those words I can't pronounce correctly for a German ear....

I'd been around him enough that I remember Cologne because it was spoken of so much. Eventually I ended up meeting several of his family that had survived the war and came to visit him here in the "wild west" where he'd come to stay. Good fellow.

	I lived about 5 years in Munich directly across the Isar river from the Oktoberfest grounds. Never missed the Schûtzen Parade! This should come up in English for you. If not the option for a translation should appear. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	Back in the day... we used to hit the Oktoberfest in Munich and then when it shut down go to the Volksfest in Bad Constatt (Stutgart). Of course the fest in Munich was bigger an had better Bier IMHO. One of my favorites:

	This (these) stein was the only one that appealed enough to me to purchase. Didn't look so touristy and even has a crossbow in the design. I bought one but somehow ended up with a second...
