For the football world championships 2006, Germany is expecting 40.000 additional prostitutes.
That much free floating sex is of course hard for a German to stomach. It needs to be organized.
Thus, Cologne is chaining off an industrial area the size of a football field and setting up these lovely drive in sex garages.

This is not new (apparently, the Dutch set a precedent - hi Punkyfins!).
However, they're calling them "Verrichtungsboxen". And this seriously cracks me up. This must be the stodgiest and most official name they could think of.
It means "box in which tasks are performed", (whereby the task performed is usually associated with crapping rather than sex).

An intellectual Viennese newspaper said today that Austria is not planning to set up sex boxes for the European championships, but if we were, we would prefer them to be called "Wuerstelstand" (sausage booth).

Hmmm... I think if I'm ever forced to decide between a trip to Germany or Austria, I'll have to go with Austria. Other than the obvious advantages of having Vienna and the Orchestra, a sense of humor counts for a lot. Big Grin

...and we have better sausages. Wink

(We really do. If you've never eaten a Kaesekrainer or a Waldviertler or a Burenwurst you simply haven't lived yet. Sausage-wise.)

I object!
Weisswuerstl!


~You are a *Taverner*.
Sometimes patrons want to go where everybody knows their names, though it helps 
when half of them are named John. When people want to celebrate, or commiserate, 
they gather to your establishment. You provide the atmosphere, the warmth, rum, 
and even an ear to bend. Did I mention the rum? Years before the language will be 
mangled with terms like facilitator and networking and interpersonal communication,
you've overseen it all, and broken up a few bar fights, to boot.~

But...but...brothels are supposed to have plushy red sofas and bottles of expensive champagne and everything!

(And forget Weisswurst, you Bavarian. You can't even eat the skin of a Weisswurst. And anyway, sweet mustard is a perversion.)

(you should have them with Dutch coarse mustard then, you Austrian!)
To be honest, Onions, i'd never heard of the garage thingies before.
Hookers do have a union here and stuff, but garages... i just don't know.

Rofl!
Well... the weisswuerstl were a dead give-away.
And i agree with your assesment of sweet mustard.
And the Austrians have restaurants named Bumms'n (that cracks me up b.t.w. every time i say it) and the best braten in der reine ever.
They just don't have weisswuerstl and sex-garages and dutch mustard.

Punkyfins, I learn something new every day just by talking to you.

I didn't even realise it existed before you had to point me to it:

I *know* isn't it insane?!
I mean, you're a chef or what have you, you want to start a restaurant and you call it....
"hump" (from the verb).
Either you have a very compliant wife, or you're just... well... a nutcase.

Ah!
quote:
Der Name erhielt sich über Jahrhunderte und erklärt ein kleines Detail früherer Bierführerarbeiten. Die Bierfässer wurden vom Roßgespann abgeladen und über den leicht abschüssigen Boden in die Gaststube gerollt. Am mächtigen Schanktresen ”bumsten” die Fässer an und kamen so zum Stillstand.


It refers to the noise made by beer barrels rolling from the ramp into the house and "bumping" into the counter.

Well, now I know where I'll take Capt. Crash when he comes for a visit.

LMAO!
(drags her mind out of the gutter... well we *were* talking about the garage-thingies)
Well if you really want to go, i think you need a car. It's a bit out of the way in a nice monumental village, and if you want a braten, you have to order it in advance.
(How about this for a hijack huh?)
And vienna is much more charming anyway Wink

Capt. Crash, you do realise that we wouldn't need to drive eight hours to Cologne to find you a brothel, should you desire to see one?

Vienna is part of the civilised world after all. In fact, when you land at the airport, one of the first things you will see is a larger than life-neon sign to a place called the "Big Apple". Wink

Wanna know something rather sad? The first Big Apple I will see will be a brothel in Vienna. I'm pretty sure we have a non-stop flight from Minneapolis to Denmark, so I won't even get to see the real Big Apple.

Hey, we don't have any brothels here in Missoula, are you saying Montana isn't part of the civilised world?

Crash - remember your history - there are several places in downtown Missoula that started as brothels and there are still working places in other parts of the state.
