Well, accidental wardrobe malfunctions anyway . . . and to help the other kind happen on cue . . .

?[Better that, than kraken sushi.

Ewww. Tastes like iodine.

It shouldn't . . . it should be more like ammonia.

Those outfits are designed like that. Either for viewing or ease of access, not sure which.

The major sport of a serving girl in a drindle is popping her tip right into the cleavage... from a respectable distance...

[Catawampus]

Oh my dear God in heaven, it's the Schnitzelbank song!!!

And Atsali, a SIREN(!), is SINGING it!!!

That's going to get that place rollicking...

She could have Nadette come visit, to make the thing even more interesting and paranormally.

"Ist das nicht ein Schnitzelbank?"

"Ya, das ist ein Schnitzelbank!"

*Atsali hops onto the Schnitzelbank, which suddenly sprouts a pair of furry ears*

"Nein, das ist ein Ursamorph!"

Well, that's a rather comprehensive change... {aims a couple of Euros for the landing zone in question, then relents and digs out a carefully-guarded stash of five Deutsche Mark coins}

So... Schnitzelbank, huh?

Are we talking about a bank that uses sausage as its main currency?

[Alkarii]

Tossing coins into a girl's cleavage sounds like a recipe for trouble, though.

Also, I can't stop myself from thinking of some pretty bad jokes because of the comment about banks and sausage, but I'll just let someone else's imagination run wild, so they can take the fall for making those jokes.

It is a carpenter's bench that holds what you are carving/cutting ("schnitzling") by leverage of your foot against a pedal ... like a spoke shavers' vise.

Something something Disney cheapskate something coins -- so, saving Mr. Banks?

Never mind, I found the door. I'll see myself out.

Most drindels have a cloth funnel sewn in to catch the coins and guide them to a pocket in the skirt- it's expected.

[Alkarii]

Wow, that's kind of weird. In this part of the world, you even acknowledge the existence of a woman's breasts (without being in an intimate relationship with her, or getting intimate), and you risk getting in a lot of trouble.

[FreeFlier]

Every nation/region has its own quirky taboos.

Yeah, but technically, in the US, acknowledging a female as a female in any way beyond pronouns could get you sued for sexual harassment. And now, in some areas, if someone looks like a female, but self identifies as anything else, you can get into trouble for guessing based on what you see. (Thanks, California...)

But it's my understanding that Germany and Austria are a bit more relaxed about sex and such. Not that I'm gonna go over there as soon as I learn German and start hitting on the barmaids.

My dad told me about a time he was in a West German bar, and some patron (I think he was an American, in the military) grabbed the barmaid's ass as she walked by, with multiple full beer steins in each hand. She set them down on a table, turned, lifted the guy by the shirt until he was off the ground, slapped him both ways (as in, palm and backhand), set him down, grabbed the beers, and went about her business.

That would have been pretty cool to see. Too bad I wouldn't be able to pick up a girl like that, as I can't really stand the taste of beer.

I suspect she might not like beer either, after serving it all day . . .

Thanks. That's neat. So are the Wiki pages for the Shaving Horse, the [urlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drawknife]Drawknife[/url] and the Spokeshave.

If I was the jealous type (which I'm not), I would now envy those who have the time and space necessary to use such tools.

There is quite a bit of Zen to it- I use mine to do rifle stocks.

I had to do a double-take on that, because I just came from the TwoKinds forum. Where Zen means something entirely different. And isn't very Zen.

[TazManiac]

... as I can't really stand the taste of beer.

That may well be the case, but the initial reaction I have to that kind of fatalism is that you haven't yet tasted the right kind of beer...

btw- I'm surprised I haven't seen more references to current day Renaissance Fairs.

(edit) Oh Ma Gerd; there's even a whole (NSFW surely) website devoted to the adoration of things bountiful and RenFair related... http://renfaireboobs.com/

Did you hear about the man who broke into a butcher shop and threw raw chicken pieces everywhere?

At the trial he explained, "I really like heaving breasts!"
