The Polish are safe at last

I am always baffled that people still believe that myth.

Seymour, who reportedly had a daily rate of $150 for his translation services, lasted less than a day on the job before he was replaced.

$150 in 1977 is roughly $800 today. I don't think he charged enough for such an epic troll.

Clearly, they're Pfannkuchen

That's a myth. It roughly translates into: "I want to fuck and I'm not leaving."

That's a first rate ragebait for germans

Wait, several? The most I can think of is 2 (because Bush, as terrible as he was, doesn't seem like the kind of guy to have this flaw).

I just heard Eddie izzards bit on it and I love it

[kusimulkku@lemm.ee]

And considering this was 1977, it might've been a welcome change from Moscow's loving embrace

[kusimulkku@lemm.ee]

I'd be intrigued

[felixcress@lemmy.world]

But they are usually less open about it.

Look at his name and take a wild guess.

[cruxifux@feddit.nl]

Yeah that’s what I imagined but you never know. A guy who grew up in Poland but has an English speaking father with the last name Seymour sounds exactly like the kind of guy who would become a translator.

[felixcress@lemmy.world]

A guy who grew up in Poland would think twice before saying that Carter desires Polish people (in sexual sense)

The coked out, drunk frat boy vibe isn't a bit rapey? Also you know the whole credibly accused thing and questionable links to Epstein like a lot of politicians.

8 women say George H.W. Bush groped them. Their claims deserve to be remembered as we assess his legacy.

Those we entrust with power need to use it for all of us.

That's ol' Slippin Jimmy for you, ever hear about that time in Chicago with the sunroof? Good stuff

[rekorse@sh.itjust.works]

Reminds me of the famous "I am a jelly donut" line I think from JFK or whoever it was.

[zagorath@aussie.zone]

To be honest I don't know anything about Bush Sr. He's before my time and doesn't have as strong a personality to get in by cultural osmosis the way Clinton (who was the first US president I was alive for, but when I was far too young to have any memories of it) does.

That said, the comment above said the last 30 years. That means Bush Sr isn't in the running, unless I've miscalculated something.

I tried to get a photo in front of the gate with a donught. Apparently it's just not a very popular pastry in Germany, or at least it wasn't at the time (not suprised given what I ate there... Don't know why you'd settle). IIRC even the dunkins nearby didn't have one.
