Do we have any 'shy' gun owners here?

I inherited a shotgun, if that counts. I only have three shells for it, though. One has my name on it, and the other two are general purpose.

 

[AStrangeDesire]

Haven't seen many of those lately. I guess the joke finally got stale.

Or maybe some of them realized that if the truck didn't come with truck nuts, adding them made it a 'trans-truck'... which the truck-nut club probably don't appreciate.

No need to call security, I'll see myself out.

And what happens if they give it a rack (for their guns)? Adventures in Truck Gendering! My newest plot bunny.

It's not just Finland. In my experience, mixed, naked is the norm in the Netherlands, Germany (the birthplace of Frei Korps Kultur), and Austria (extending into western Hungary). In other words, a lot of NW Europe.

*Freikörper. Freikorps were also a German thing, but they involved the other kind of gun.

I take the nude lake scene in Kommisar Rex as being representative of professional dress in European policing. If you know, you know.

In Europe, most countries do not have a law that forbids nudity in public. Only sexual acts are forbidden in public. Of course, if you are on someone's property, they make the rules. So German Railways does not allow one to use their trains in the nude. But roads are free, so you can legally drive topless and can dance topless at a rave. Nudity below the waist is somewhat more sensitive. Displaying an erection in public is illegal as it is considered sexual.
I am currently writing a story for the on-the-job challenge about a company in Europe where women are explicitly allowed to go topless if the men can behave themselves.

Are any Bundesliga teams on your LE bingo card?

If so, I think you have been scammed.

Sankt -Pauli!!!! Perfect for Lit. It is based in the red light district of Hamburg!

If you have Werder Bremen on your bingo card, I borrowed their colors for The Empyrea Clippers (a made up team) in one of my stories.

Adelaide took a moment to scan the crowd again before she saw Vivienne jumping up and down and waving from near center field.

"Thank goodness," said Adelaide to no one in particular, before setting off toward Vivienne.

As she got closer, Adelaide saw Tonje and Eniola, both wrapped in green and white Empyrea Clippers scarves, sitting on either side of Vivienne.

Did I really read something to the effect of "maybe he didn't know he had an erection?"

I'll be floored if someone who gets erections chimes in to say "yeah, no, you can be unaware! Happened to me!" My guess is that someone bullshitted someone once, saying "I didn't know!" and they were believed.

That guy knew he was hard and he knew he was showing it to you (whoever it was who posted about that).

Thanks for the correction.

Complete with a skull-and-crossbones logo and punk left-wing reputation.

A bit like Real Gothic FC (who play at Whitby twice a year) in their fanbase, only professional and recently promoted back to the Bundesliga.

That is my team. The story of the pirate flag is worth reading .....

This is probably way off topic, but what are you guys talking about? It sounds like football (or soccer, I'm in the US). However, I saw "punk left-wing reputation" and feel like this is something I should know more about

Does the truck become sentient and start influencing the owner to become trans? A mind control story perhaps. That would be hilarious

Indeed. I visited Hamburg for the first time last year and the fans were noticeable even when a match wasn't on. Seemed like a decent bunch to have around you - there was minor aggro from some disappointed HSV fans on a train.

I liked the city, would happily return. Partly I found the accent easy to understand, and "Moin" has exactly the same intonation as a Londoner going "Al'right?" as a greeting, so I felt very at home!

Yes, football, the one played with the feet. And yes, which is why St Pauli is somewhat unusual - look up their Wikipedia entry. Partly it's the character of an area influencing local fanbases - European sports teams are heavily associated with their location in a way US ones aren't nearly as much. The one time managers tried to move a club to a new city (Wimbledon, southwest London, to Milton Keynes) it went down like cold sick, resulting in a new AFC Wimbledon and the MK Dons now being a team for the new city of MK.

Yes, this is an oversimplification, but I don't care about football that much unless I have a bet on it (World Cup/Euros work sweepstake), or there's a direct effect, like the areas you don't want to try driving through on match days, or concern for personal safety when 40,000 losing fans want to express their disappointment. My local team is Crystal Palace, the one Ted Lasso is based on (albeit pretending to be in the much posher area of Richmond).

I loved the fans and the spirit of the club. It is a middle finger raised real high against football business!

This not necessarily true for the mega clubs owned by American hedge funds (e.g. Chelsea). The connection to the local has been totally lost in my opinion. But for the smaller clubs, e.g. Sunderland, the connection to the land is undeniable.

Good job winning the FA cup last year. Too bard the board sold everyone they could sell.

The words "Clobbenburg" and "Wubbenhorst" were a lot funnier to me that what she said.

I'm not shy about it, but I'm also not the sort who feels the need to shout it from the rooftops while wearing 'my cold dead hands' t-shirts with my 'don't tread on me' ball cap. I'm former military and I believe in preparedness. But not to the point where I feel I need an assault rifle to defend myself.
