Geschaft ist sehr Speise.
P-DL opened in Germany, and this guy digs it.
UPDATE: In English, please.
UPDATE 2: That's that - apparently, the original Tykwer article in German has disappeared from Spiegel Online. I apologize to my vast German readership. Please try to make do with the English translation.

Resume Detritus. #004:
From what I guess was some kind of non-resume thingy:
"I do not have a resume because I have been employed at the same place since 1989."

This resume was posted online. Instead of putting their first and last name on the header, they dropped this:
"Anything you can do...I can do...equal!"

Classic Names. #002: Nedge.
(Male) Cashier/Front-Service Clerk. See Nedge live.
No doubt Nedge is the recipient of unending teasing at the hands of his L. Luthor-ish nemesis and assorted other co-workers - after all, it's a girl's name.

Words of Wisdom. #003:
"You see, I still have real breasts. I don't mean to brag; it's just true. I have lived in L.A. for more than three years now, and out here, God-given breasts are rare. Augmented and silicone-enhanced breasts are so common that they have become a personal gift. They are the perfect foil for my perfectly real and, honestly, superior jugs. Men see me with my 100-percent-original rack, and they are so appreciative. This is the gift that fake breasts have given me. They've given my breasts value.
I just walk down the street where I live in Hollywood, and my breasts and I just about get a hero's welcome. We are so damn unique in this land of homogenized anatomy. I'm a Mickey Mantle Topps card. An Indian-head penny. I'm Franklin Minty! What was once seen as a gift to the male gender has become a gift to the nonparticipating female - me! Thank you, Pamela. Thank you, Demi. And, to quote Alanis, thank you, disillusionment."
- Sarah Silverman, from "A Few Words About My Breasts", Esquire, February 1999, p. 92.
