Know your Pappenheimer

If you were on TV I'd watch for a laugh.

No with you. At you.

<3

Erm............

Anyway, what's this "Pappenheimer" translate as?

A Pappenheimer is a 17th century sword of some sort. It's also the name of some family of witches I think.

I think Pappenheimer refers to a person from Pappenheim.

I think your face is fucking stupid.

Very nice, KA. Very nice.

Pappenheimer refers to a man called Gottfried Heinrich Graf zu Pappenheim, he was a general I believe, for the Holy Roman Empire. He fought in the Thirty-Years War, along with lots of other guys - including the Swedes. My knowledge on this has been disremembered and fragmented by the year(s) at this art school. In swedish the phrase is "Känn din Pappenheimer", I cannot really explain the meaning - possibly due to poor language skills or something... But I do have this quote I found on wikipedia (also he was a field marshal). Here is the quote:

His name forms the key part of the Czech and German colloquialism; "we know our fellow Pappenheim's". It is used to imply tongue-in-cheek that someone has, is or will be acting in a way that is completely expected.

@Chruser: You know, we have television-technology in the lower levels of the "brook falls"-station. Although it's halls are mostly occupied by that "Atom-man", weird guy - maybe weirder than you. He should be avoided. Lost... Why do you mock me with these questions when you already know the truth!?

Also, on the subject of Adolf Hitler - my interest in him is not as an historian.

Ooooh? Care to elaborate?

No problem.

ARGH MY EYES, THE GOGGLES DO NOTHING!

@Lenny: Because Hitler fucking rocks!
The New Adventures of Hitler, part 2.
He is also interesting as a person who in the eyes of many people personifies "evil", a concept which I find interesting.

EDIT: Psychrophile

Why do you dislike his avatar so much?

I've wondered that about a lot of people.

Seriously, it looks like a pussy. If that's "disturbing" or "ugly" or "scary" or "stupid" to you, you're probably gay.

It looks like a pussy. Get over it.

That is the verisimilitude. It was mildly entertaining to scare him last week. What kind of extremophile are you?

Big words aren't cool. Learn to use under 8 letters otherwise I'll get scared.

You do know Chruser listens to bread, don't you?
