GUESS WHAT I SHOVED IN MY 40 YR. OLD BODY ON SATURDAY.

Give up? Don’t really care? On Saturday the wife and I journeyed from Manhattan Island to the Isle of Long Island City to see my buddy’s band ADRENALINE play. 

THEY ROCKED!!! That being said…

We had to brave the F train ON THE WEEKEND!

Walked late at night through a deserted creepy industrial park…

‘til we finally arrived at the german restaurant / metalmania bar – Wunderbar

Immediately I ordered a big German beer with a giant head (mommy bloggers get your heads out of the gutter). 

Then after perusing the menu I settled on the

wiener schnitzel ala Holstein – every bite was pure heaven!

SO WHAT IS IT?

Essentially it’s deep fried veal topped with a nice healthy fried egg – Calorie-riffic!

Add the beer and fried potatoes to the mix and that pretty much sums up my need for …

…early Sunday morning. Still worth it. Every bite of it.

CHRIST SYMBOLISM IN POPULAR PORN DVD.

Sorry, at second glance this one might not be so obvious. I’ll just give it my best shot in explaining how the Christ symbolism fits in to this euro tour de force by director Tanya Hyde.

In PEVERTZ, Amber Leigh plays a nun conflicted with her feelings towards God and shoving things up her anal cavity. Probably the most poignant part of the film that wreaks of religion is Amber’s confrontation with the German leather boy (Helmut). Not going to give the plot away, except to say the item she decides to use in the throws of passion are in fact Rosary Beads.

FYI…a director's cut of PEVERTZ was recently released with 2 hrs and 5 minutes of extra footage. Available now for 34.90 EUR / $47.32.

CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN WHY 742 GERMANS ADORE ME?

THIS IS TOTALLY MY OPINION…

In the short time of being a part of a blog community, I’ve found only one thing to be a bit of a taboo subject. Viewers. People don’t readily offer up that stat to other bloggers they’re close with. Telling friends and family not of this blogging world is totally a different story. I just think the successful viewer-magnets don’t like to come off as being a braggart to bloggers just starting out. And that’s why I like this ever-growing group. It’s not just made up of some really talented writers, but supportive, nurturing people that are decent human beings as well. Sorry to schmaltz-out.

NOW ABOUT THOSE GERMANS…

Ok, well not quite yet. Before I get to the Germans I will tell you that as far as viewers go, I do ok (thanks to a lot of my new found blogging buds). I’m just starting out so I’m NOT even close to 1000 daily views. Though I don’t know about you guys, I’d consider signing a contract from a certain ruby-skinned, horny individual to achieve that goal. [For another post.]

So back to the 742 Germans…

A while back (Jan. 6^th, 2010) I had a post that was simply titled – MODERNISH CUBICLE WARFARE. It pretty much dealt with cool toys that shoot stuff at coworkers. That’s it. As far as viewers go, the article did ok. Then like other posts it became just another tiny pebble on the giant superhighway. Of course all that changed this past Monday (Feb. 1^st). My google analytics showed that the article had 1,542 page views! And Tuesday netted me 507 PVs!

All of ‘em came from this one German forum, Call of Duty & Modern Warfare Community. FYI…for those that don’t know, Call of Duty is a popular video game series.

At first I was I was psyched. I mean over 1000 eyes on my article alone. Awesome right? Yeah, well that feeling was short-lived as soon as I discovered the average time spent on the article – a whopping 5 seconds. So yes, it pretty much means that yours truly is reaping the pseudo-benefits from some sort of e-mistake.

ANY CLUES?

Not a one. The site is in German so I can’t find my post. The only thing I can possibly assume is that my title (MODERNISH CUBICLE WARFARE) might coincidentally have the exact same wording as a post subject for one of the more popular gaming tips on the site. Other than that I got nothing, but 742 empty views. Help? Anyone?

Oh, and for those keeping score, the most views came from the following German cities…Berlin, Hamburg, Nuremberg, Munich and Essen.

Auf Wiedersehen! [means Seacrest Out!]

P.S. I was going to make some joke about Hasselhoff comments, but Lisa beat me to the punch. Well played Party Girl.

THE BEST OF GERMAN ENGINEERING.

by Biz-Boy (NWM Staff Writer)

If you ever find yourself pounding steins at one of those German brew gardens (in the states or across the pond) do me a favor and check out the food menu. If they have wiener schnitzel ala holstein ORDER IT!! Though I guess I should preface that by saying, order it if you’re ok upping your cholesterol count for the day. Say by 50 to 100 HDL pts. To me it's totally worth the splurge. You start with a boneless breast of veal that's pounded thin. It's dipped in a mixture of breading, eggs, oil, salt and pepper. Then fried up in an uber-buttered skillet. And finally topped off with a sunny side up egg. The taste – pure Fahrvergnügen.

HOW THE PROs MAKE THE SCHNITZEL PART...
