Hello Al,

was off list for a while , havn`t seen that thread earlier...

>> how do you say: Eat Sauerkraut, Ricer! in german???
>> please teach us :)


"Reiser" isn`t a german word and nobody will know what it is here.
Known words are "Reisschüssel-Fahrer" ( ricebowl-driver)
where the "u" in "Reisschüssel" has two dots above
(that probably are not displayed here in the list)
or "Japsenkisten-Fahrer" for example.

And the word "Iss" is gramatically correct, but
probably not used in this context.

example :
"could you eat that please" = "ISS das bitte"
" go and eat shit !"        = "FRISS Scheisse ! "

so maybe "Reisschüssel-Fahrer, friss mein Sauerkraut!"
or
"Reiskocher, friss mein Sauerkraut !" ( rice-burner, eat my Sauerkraut )

or shorter :

"Reiskocher, friss Sauerkraut !" ( rice-burner, eat Sauerkraut ! )

>> I gotta admit I just LOVE that German Fraktur font

In Germany the Fraktur font symbolizes
a dark part of german history that was many years before the Scirocco was built.

But probably that wasn`t your intention.
What do you think of the VAG font instead ?



but on the other hand, most stickers are senseless anyway ;-)
