Thank you.

Yeah! That has been my personal sinkhole of evil during my younger days, and made my liver hard like stone!

Have you been to Würzburg, then? - There was a military checkpoint for the US forces here some years ago, but I believe it has closed. - The American families still live around here, I believe. The US hosptial is just in front of my old martial arts gym.

[BigBadQDaddy]

I was stationed in Mannhiem in 2000-2002. I used to deliver stuff to Würzburg. Those where good days. I had heard that most of the US posts where going to close down, but I had left before that happened.
I had a friend who got really drunk at the house of 150 beers, and he went outside to try and count all of the bottles they have in the window, but he was so drunk he kept losing count. I believe he was outside for about an hour before he gave up and came back inside.

The funniest memory I have from the *Pub* as we call it here, is the one night we all ordered *delirium tremens* with the diner. Next day, everyone of us had a headache like if we had drunk an entire bottle of vodka... BEWARE that beer...

Really, we had a lot of fun over there... First to the Pub, then up to the Labyrinth...

[BigBadQDaddy]

Oh man,
I have been to the labrynth only once, but that was a good time. I had a friend who frequented there quite a bit since he was stationed in Illishiem. I think the strongest beer I had at the "house" was bealzibub. That stuff was potent, seconded by satan gold, which was really sweet tasting.
Man that was a fun town though.

[Le Noir Faineant]

Satan Gold and Demon Brew... How fitting for a Ravenloftler!

I personally liked *Blackadder* the most - not really beer, but quite tasty...

I actually went to the Laby this weekend... Hororific, I can tell you... Has evolved into a junkyard for VERY strange fellows, my former fav disco of my youth...

That's a shame, The one time I went, it seemed like a fun place. It was definatley better than the one rock/goth club in mannhiem I used to frequent. That place was about as big as a garage.

[Le Noir Faineant]

For goth and rock, it's still a great place - they were playing the most scenic dark metal during my birthday celebration.. What really got me horrified was the fat drunken couple that was getting it on on the sofa right next to us... We left in disgust.

Really, . I mean, I've seen a lot of wackos, but these two were the absolute top of the mountain...
