Why Germans don't play Scrabble.....?

Very funny, but there actually is Scrabble in German. 
It's not those who write the laws that have the greatest impact on society.  It's those who write the songs.

It's a very economic and sparse way of saying "floor grinder rental", no need to feel jealous about it, you Amis!  :mrgreen:

And of course the double-S is key though our typewriters and keyboarders no longer feature the old symbol for it, only some 75% Jewish origin US rock bands do that.



Unless they tour Germany, in which case they have to use a different logo to avoid committing a misdemeanor/criminal offense. (Presenting the SS runes is outlawed in Germany except in a historical or satirical context.)



Gene Simmoms says he always marvels about that.

Should be an ancient dilemma using double S in the flashier style. Today's Kiss = Satire, no?  :P

I think Kiss were always also satire - larger than life, but not solemn-faced about it. There is nothing wrong with that. When a band with a bassist wearing leather bat wings is all serious about its music, then you should really start to worry.
