The next WFFR allready!
Today I went the the Burger King Liebfrauenberg in Frankfurt after work for my review of the Transformers 6-Pack burger, because the BK in the central station got worse and worse in the last two, three months, two weeks ago I got a chilli cheese burger there that was so horrid that I decidet to never eat there again.
Anyway, back to the current review. Place was the Burger King Liebfrauenberg in Frankfurt, time was ca. 15:25 on Thursday, the 21th of July 2009.


I took the burger in the DVD menue. This means the Thansformers 6-Pack burger, fries, a medium Coke and the first Transformers movie on DVD for just 9.99 €, Thats a pretty sweet deal, if you ask me.

What was a little funny is that I got the burger in the box of a scrambled eggs & bacon breakfast. I guess the regular boxes for that burger where out...


First Impression: That thing is huge! Its made up out of six miniburgers, 3 x BBQ sauce, cheese and onion rings and 3 x chilli sauce with jalapenos.


First bite: The best of both worlds. On one side a hearty barbeque taste on the other a spicy chilli taste, a combination that works well together.
My result: Transformers 6-Pack Burger: 9 of 10 (9.5 of 10*). And interesting sandwich that is really satifying.

*The brilliant marekting idea of selling the DVD of the first movie with the menue for just 3 Euro more gets an extra half point.

Today I tried the New York Beef Classic , which is the second burger of Mc Dees Stars of America campaign (I was wrong in my last review, there isn´t a new burger every week, that was in lastyears "Stars of America" campaign). Place was as usual the Mc Donalds Hauptbahnhof in Frankfurt. Time was ca. 13:10 on Wednesday (again in my lunch break, maybe I should do the next review on a weekend, just to have a different time for comparison...), the 15th of July 2009.

This is how I got it. As ususal I took it with a small coke. But... is it me or is the Coke smaller than it was before? Also there was ice in it, wich is a popular way to stretch the soda in fast food places, if you don´t tell them expicit that you don´t wan any ice in your drink they always put it in to water it down.


First impression:
The burger is quite large, about the size of a Whopper. I don´t really like that it slipped off-centre in izts box, thats a bit unaesthetic. The burger is quite full of the ususal ingrediences; two beef patties, two layers of cheddar, tomatos, salad, pickles, red onions, thesauce the also use for the Big Mac and mustard sauce.

First bite:
Its quite good, kinda reminds in the Big Mac because of the sauce. The salad and tomatos make it quite fresh. Yet all in all its a bit too conservatively for my taste, maybe a slice of bacon could have made it more interesting.
My result:
New York Beef lassic: 7 of 10. Don´t get me wrong, its a very good burger, but its really nothing extraordinary too. To be honest, it was a bit boring.

There where two things in the city that where pretty fucking awesome in the last days. First there is currently an advertsing presentation in the entrance hall of Frankfurt central station for some new multi media cell phone by Sony.

This thing is some kind of advertisement robot. It rolled around the hall and thanks to hidden sensors it didn´t crash into people and walls. But the really sweet thing was the stage!


There was some kind of holographic projector in that stage that somehow projected an ad for the cellpfone or a musicvideo by german pop musician Jan Delay onto the stage. I have no idea how it works, I think with some semi-transparent mirrors or some thing, it looks really cool thou!


But there is another thing that turned me into a giddy 8 year old as soon as I walked through the door:

The Frankfurt Lego store opend in the MyZeil shopping center!!! This is so cool!

They had some really complex models like this VM Beetle.

Or this little corner hotel (Love the details!)

Really cool where these Lego minifigure keychain. First I wanted to buy Darth Vader...

...then I saw slave outfit Leia. I was really considering Buying this one, after all which guy doesn´t want to hang around with Leia? (Stupid pun, I know). However...

... Chewie was also pretty cool, then I spotted...

...Indiana Jones! Who is just as cool as...

...Boba Fett!!! The end of the song is that I bought none of these key chains, just because I could not make up my mind which one to take! The literal boy in the candy shop.

Historic trucks and busses made from standart Legos. The photo does not translate how cool they look.


Now we´re talking!!!
The Nazi monowing from Raiders with the petrol truck, Indy and the big mechanic. You can reenact the entire scene in a sandbox!!!

A sweet looking Star Destroyer from Revenge of the Sith.

Some cute medevial scene from Lego castle. I love how the roast goose has detatchable legs.

More Lego Star Wars models.

A very detailed 19th century merry go round.

The wall of bricks. Here you can find all kinds of Lego bricks.

This model of the Eifel tower is probably one of the biggest and most complext sets you can buy, this goes also for...

... this large model of the Tay Mahal.
Its good to be nerdy enough to enjoy all of this stuff!

Aside from using it as a camera and for surfing the internet (and of course as a telephone) I use my cell phone much as a videogame console lately. The games I have on my phone are Tetris, Block Breaker Deluxe (an Breakout clone), Super Breakout, Puzzle Bobble Evolution and Lemmings Tribes. Mostly puzzle games, because I love that kind genre. I´m especially happy about Lemmings, I haven´t played that game for at least 15 years and its still a fun classic.
So tell me, what games do you, my dear readers on your cell phones?

The german comic scene has its first sex scandal.
What happend?
Well, shockingly pornographic nude photo of the korean-german mangaka Judith Park (I don´t want to go into detail, but she shows her "little man in the boat" hustler-styled on several of them, on others the shows us her chocolate factory) surfaced on the web, namely on 4can and Krautchan. It has been suspected that Robert Labs, another German comic artist and Judith Park’s ex-boyfriend is the person responsible for the release of the images. If thats true he is a fucking bastard. I mean c´mon! She may have been naive for letting him talk her into making these pics in the first place, but posting them online because she dumped him... Thats assholeish. Its assholeish, mean, lame, and shows that he hasn´t style for five cents (something we should have known from his ecchi wannabe-Urushihara comics for a very long time). In the end he may also have shooten his own leg with this stunt, because rumor has it that Park was still underage when the photos where taken, and what do we call it when you talk your underage girlfriend into doing pornographic pictures that would look good in the Hustler? We call it abuse of an underage person, maybe even child molestation, if proven his pedophile ass may land in jail quicker than he could pump out one of of is ecchi-sketches (and he´s fast! I have to say that for him, I´ve seen him draw on the Frankfurt book fair a few years ago). I personally feel sorry for Judith. I interviewed her about a year and a half ago and she is a really nice, kind girl. She doesn´t deserve all the shit that is now flying at her (thats why her website, her FA and all other pages of her are down), from the internet and also that she lost er contract with Carlsen Comics. They fired her, even thou it wasn´t her fault. somebody should start a petition that Carlsen should be cool and give her her job back.
Here is her statement on the story (in german):

Basically she says that she is very dissapointed that these pictures leaked to the web. She did these pictures back then for Robert Labs who wanted them for his private use (that sick fuck...) and wasn´t too happy about it but did it anyway for him. She doesn´t know how, but she presumes Labs did put them online since he was the only one who had access to them. Anyway, all of this happend against her will and she hopes everything will get back to normal sooner or later. I hope that too, Judith, you deserve better than that.
Anyway this is a very good lesson on how everything you do can come back and bite your ass on the internet.

Again a WFFR done in my lunchbreak (don´t get to do them any other way any more).
Mc Donalds has just introduced this years "Stars of America" campaign, again with Heidi Klum as testemonial (I have no idea how supermodels and Hamburgers connect but okay). This means every week a new burger that I may test.
Todays burger, or rather sandwich, since its with pork and not with beef, is the Texas Pork Barbecue. Place was, as usual, the McDonalds Hauptbahnhof in Frankfurt, time was ca. 13:45 on Wednesday, the 01. of July 2009.

This is how I got the sandwich, I took it today with a medium coke.


First impression: It looks quite tasty! On an unusual bun is a pork patty, salad, chilli cheese, roastet onions and a BBQ sauce. I like that the bun and the cheese are definitively not the standart McD stuff.

First bite: This is delicious! Smokey, hearty, a little spicy. A bit too much of the BBQ-sauce. I love the roasted onions, they are still chrisp and not soaked in the sauce, thats a good sign that the sandwich is still fresh. The chilli cheese is well mothen which allows it to fully develop.
My result:
Texas Pork Barbecue: 9.3 of 10. Mouthwatering good! Thats a sandwich as I like it!

Now this is rad.
Some guy turned his old Fiat 500 into a caterillar!
I know, its qgite a stretch from an 50 year old italian compact car to a heavy construction vehicle, but this baby pulls it off very well, even if its a wee bit slow.

Yesterday the german national team of the under 21 year olds won the European championship of the under 21 year olds in the final in Malmo against England. Now Germany has all three junior Euro championchip titles (U17, U18 and U21), that was achived by no other country before. It also clearly shows that we have many great talents in football, which makes the outlook for the World cup next year in South Africa, the Euro 2012 in Poland and the Ukraine and the World cup 2014 iin Brazil quite bright.

I just discoverd this on youtube.
I remember this TV show from my childhood days, it was very cleverly written. The idea was basically to transfer Homers Odyssey to a science fiction setting which worked extremely well. The character and mecha designs where great ( just look at the spaceships that are designed like Poseidons trident). The animation was top of the game and also the musical score was pretty cool. Here is the first episode:



Look me in the eyes and tell me this show wasn´t awesome and epic in many ways. They just don´t produce shows like that anymore.

Michael Jackson is dead.
According do media reports he died of a heartattack at the age of 50 in LA.
Farewell, Jacko.
Despite all of your weirdness, your scandals and bizarre stories, you were the Greatest. There will no other star with your incredible talent, dedication and influence in modern music.
Not you will join Elvis, Hendrix, Cobain, Lennon and all the others at the big musicians table in Valhalla.

Heard on TV today that Tetris is celebrating its 25th anniversary.
Hurray, since its still one of my all time favorite games.

Yes my friends, there is no doubt about it. I´m an old fart. A sure sign for that is how much I hate teenagers. I noticed it today when I made the mistake of using public transit when school ended. I totally despise them. They are loud, obnoxious, ignorant, emotionally instable, egocentrical monsters. just the thought that I was like them about 15 years ago makes me want to puke my bloody guts out. Those little fucks seriously prance around like they are Bobs gift to mankind and are pissed most of the time because the fucking world does actually NOT revolve around them. They mope and bitch about their dumb, petty "problems", like that their parents are evil because they don´t let them behave like the rabid, mentally ill baboons they are, or that life is unfair because they didn´t get the latest worthless CD full of acustic diharreha by some dumb, overhyped pseudostar right in the minute of release (try living in Iran, you little piece of shit!). They are not realizing that that these are the last carefree, problemless days of their useless lifes. They don´t enjoy life like they should, they are too much of paranoid little assholes, assuming that their well beeing matters enough to anyone to care, or that some people (like parents, teachers) have nothing better to do than beeing out to ruin their silly, little lives, for reasons that probably make only sense in their hormonefogged brains. Speaking of which, I doubt teenagers have brains at all. Seriously, I belive the brains are taken out when they are 12 and replaced with an moldy, wet bun and put it back when they are at least 18 (in some cases never) Thats why IMHO people between 12 and 18 should be locked away in a dark dungedon or a padded cell, maybe also beeing chained to a wall. Hmmm, I think I turn that into a law whan I achive world domination, one day...

Its about time!

Seriously what the fuck?
It is saying "the couple of the year" and is an ad for a bundle of the mickey Mouse magazine and the Disney Lustiges Taschenbuch (a small, monthly papercack comic book with about 500 pages), but c´mon! What the hell where they thinking? Didn´t anybody at Ehapa (disneys german publisher) have second thoughts about that?

And why is Mickey the bride...?

I bet that Holliwood has one or the other of these movies all ready in preproduction. :)

Ow.. OW...
Dammit...
Stop throwing rocks...
Ow..
Okay,okay, I´m sorry for that stupid pun in the headline...
I just want to announce that today was "Wrath of Khan" Thursday for me.

Exactly!
I got meself the movie on DVD and the first two issiues of the czurrent comic adaption by IDWwhich is quite nice.
Oh and while we´re at it, I also bought the OST CD of the new movie.

I really love the new main theme...

Its time for another WFFR.
Burger King has currebntly a Bacon Caesar campaign, so I tried their Bacon Caesar burger today in my lunch break. Place was the Burger King Frankfurt Central station, upstairs. Time was ca. 12:50 on Wednes day, the 17th of June 2009.

I took the burger in a menue with a medium coke and fries.


First Impression:
Looks quite nice and massive. On it are a patty, salad, tomato, Grana Padano cheese, bacon and fried onions. The sauce is called caesar sauce and seems to be some kind of yogurth sauce.

First bite:
Ther burger has a hearty and acerb, yet fresh taste. The Grana Padao gives it a certain kick. The fried onion bits remind me in chrispy onion rings. The burger could have been warmer thou, in fact it was quite cold allready.
My result:
Bacon Caesar: 7.5 of 10. Its a quite good burger, but it gets much points drawn of for beeing cold.

Yesterday I was on the birthday BBQ of my friend JC Fox in his Garden near Bensheim. The weather was good and so where the sausages and the beer. The only bad thing is that I had to leave at about 22:45 to catch the train to Frankfurt, so that I can catch there the last S-Bahn home at 00:14. Why can´t they let the trains run all night? Yet Frankfurt calls itself a world class metropolis. A city without 24/7 public transport service is not a metropolis, especially not a world class one.
Anyway, I was also happy to see Jak again, JCs pet fox.


He was a bit sleepy. It was very warm all day so he did spend his day in his sleep box dozing. He seemed a bit annoyed by our disturbing, so we left him alone. After all, he has been seen more lively:

Cute. :3

The (swedish) Pirate Party has won two seats in the EU-parliament!
Congratiulations!

Today where elections for the european parliament. In Germany the big parties did loose a lot of votes, the smaller ones where the ones who did made it to actually gain more votes. The general voter turnout was very low, but that was expectable since many people are very ignorat about the EU elections because they don´t know how important the european parliament really is. In fact it is more important today than the national parliaments of its member states, since this is actually the place where the mayority of laws are made there. The national pariaments just nod them off. But this is really the fault of the EU. If they would inform people better and would effectively fight eurosceptism and EU-wearyness better, people would realize theimportance and do to vote.

Heh, haven´t done a WFFR in a while, so there is finally a new one.
Mc Donalds has currently a new summer campaign and the center piece of the campaign is the Big Ciabatta Beef.
Place was the Mc Donalds at the Hauptbahnhof, time was ca. 13:15 (my lunch break) on Friday, the 5th of June 2009.

This is how I got it. I took it with a medium coke today, since I was thirsty.


First impression: The burger doesn´t look bad at all. On a square ramsons-ciabatta bun we have a large beef patty, salad, arugula, cheese, tomato, red onions and a herbs and yogurth sauce. It has a very aromatic smell.

First bite: A very interesting, lightly acerb aromatic taste. The cheese is well molten, but the salad and the argula is a bit limp.
My result:
Big Ciabatta Beef: 9 of 10. A very interesting Burger! I personally liked it very much, but I think the acerb taste will not be the taste of everybody
