Das Boot on Blu-Ray June 7

OTOH somebody would probably find that tedious and blame Obama for it.

Jawohl, Frau Kaleun:

40000 German sailors voted for Obama during WW2, 30000...oh wait...

First sentence (by the Kaleun):
"Unser Bootsmann. Voll bis Oberkante Unterkiefer!"
"Our bosun. Buzzed like a bilge rat!" (literally: full till the upper edge of the lower jar)

Last sentence:
"Aaaaaargghhh!"
"ouch!"

Coming next month: the second sentence!

I only have the seires (uncut one) - all other versions are for heretics!

As a Gentlebird, I don't know what you are talking about...
