"Cool" German words

@moonboot

the real check of keydeck's old school credentials would be if he had ever been in the irish times - now präger frühling, i think. pippifax was dreadful, and yet somehow ended up there all the time

@ Latecomer

did Pipifax eventually become Babalu?

did you drink in Paddy's?
I worked there *shudder* it was such a shitpit.
we didn't serve Guinness/kilkenny/Cider etc. the owner was from Pakistan I think and he was trying to cash in on the whole Irish Pub craze but the brewery wouldn't let him serve non-Spaten stuff. the locals called the place Bangladesh Paddys I remember.

we served damn good curries tho!

outragegously off topic banter:

i think the fax was called babalu before it was the fax, then it went very briefly to table dancing and is now some sort of amusement arcade / "casino" thing.

only used to get in paddy's for 6am brekkie on a sunday morning, very seldom though. saw the owner produce an irish passport in o'reillys though, seems he had some ties to the old country.

That's right. Pippifax became the second New York Table Dance. Unlike it's KPO parent it was completely shit and only lasted a couple of months. Then came the dodgey amusement arcade. Babalu became Praeger Fruhling but I didn't know it in its pre-Babalu incarnation.

The years have made me bitter
The gargle dims my brain
'Cause Munich keeps on changing
And nothing stays the same
Pippifax & Babalu have gone and
Fiddlers Green long since pulled down
As the great unyielding concrete
Makes a city of my town

yep, my "t" was a typo. Damned keys are too close together.

i take it that word is a derivation of "Närrisch", oder?
