paint your house pink

it's a really crazy feeling when you walk through Vienna by night and see one of our most expensive cafés look like this:


unfortunately, the building is white by day. greyish-yellowish, really. it's just some fancy lighting.


and damn 'em, they've got a freaking x-mas tree standing near the front door. in the middle of november.

Barack

Hungarian for "apricot" (German: Aprikose, Austrian: Marille).
Best liked in the shape of barackpálinka, apricot brandy, which is often offered as an aperitif if one is lucky enough to dine with Hungarians.
Also makes a nice jam, which is often found inside krapfen or sachertorte.
For further information, see under Zwetschgenfleck.

Jaws

"Since when have you been chewing gum? I thought you didn't like it."

"I don't. But I want my jaws to become as muscular as Senator McCain's."

These last three weeks I've been chewing gum on purpose, just to trigger this dialogue. It's been a big laugh every time.
