My mother wouldn't let any cuckoo clocks in our house because when she was a child growing up in Vienna during the war, that was the sound the radio would use to warn people that a bombing raid was incoming and that everyone should get to a bomb shelter. My dad once bought her one when they were younger, thinking it would remind her of her homeland, and she pretty much had a panic attack and destroyed it.RaceBannon said:My mom's family on her dad's side left Germany in the 1880's to come here because of the militarization of the recently remodeled empire

You always have to wood celebrity.
Hell, the Throbber wood Neil Young even though that is disgusting as fuck. Celebrity, you know. Makes for a good drunk @swaye story
The Throbber likes how John Mellancamp is banging Meg Ryan, too.
The Throbber should have learned how to play guitar.

The Collosseum and Forum in Rome. Nothing in Florence or anywhere else in Tuscany touched it for me. To stand in the very spot from which one guy ruled an area as large as the Roman empire once stretched, at a time when people were still wiping their asses with their hands, was, to say the least, unique and impressive. Assissi was cool ... very cool, but St. Francis doesn't compete well with Julius Ceasar in my book. Still, I recommend the hell out of Assissi. Worth the trip, as it's a bit out of the way.
Southern Italy is coming up next and Paestum looms large as a great experience ... to see truly intact Greek temples. Fuck. And of course Athens. While the Parthenon and Acropolis are not in great shape relative to other Greek ruins (like southern Italy and southern France), that's where it began and should also be pretty fucking killer.
The grand daddy of them all is later ... Egypt. Gotta time that one right for obvious reasons. I'm still a little shaky about going right now.
