We Were All On Vacation!

Have you noticed an increasing nervousness over the past week? A feeling of impending doom that you couldn't place? Don't feel bad. You were just channeling Austrian terror. Ze Germans are back!

The last time the Germans went on holiday in Europe en masse, they took the Sudetenland and a world war started. This time, they were not so lucky. Over 200 Germans were arrested on Sunday following Germany's 2-0 win over Poland in Euro 2008.

Many of the fans were chanting "Seig Heil" and other Nazi slogans. "Only about a dozen of those arrested were not German". Israel has to be glad it didn't qualify for the finals.

It's good to see the Austrians step up this time as opposed to running and singing in the mountains or just giving up like the French. The Deuce is all about the cheap WWII joke. We'd say we'd be here all week but we can't even promise that.

In the words of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, I only know the basic French phrases, like "I surrender."

What do you expect in an event that's designed to breed German nationalism?
