Wanted: Ha Ha and Yum Yum

Literal Liberal translation of the quote below: Who hears butterflies laugh, knows what clouds taste like. Everyone who can hear a butterfly’s giggle, hands up? Anyone? Anyone?

I ran across this quote on the huge blackboard hovering over the food/drink distributing spots (okay, what would you call it? Bar where you can watch them cook?) at the Vapiano. A resteraunt I’ve “frequented” a lot lately! Best pasta (Linguini Pesto) and best pizza (Pesto con spinaci). But that is meant as a sidenote, I hope it still qualifies as A Picture A Quote entry, or should I - considering my unexhaustive talkiveness - rename it to A Picutre A Quote and A Buttload of Phil’s Senf (Senf is German for mustard; a proverb for someone’s - slightly cheap - opinion. English equivalent of to give/add my 2 cents.) Boom wacko (what a neat term for, woo, suprise,surprise), it just turned into a mini retro Lingo-Bingo. What would a psychotherapist say about this chain of associations? Massive and severe blogging deprivation. I guess.

Wer Schmetterlinge lachen hört,
der weiß, wie Wolken schmecken. (by Carlo Karges, 1951-2002)

Phonetic pronunciation help should look like this: awww-ts-uh-pft-e-s. Thus this is the ultimate motto for the Oktoberfest (no need to explain that, right? I saw Oktoberfest Sausages at Costco)I figured this little bit of information qualifies for a schnelles (quick) Lingo Bingo and blends in with my sharing thoughts on the internet.

Where’s The Summer Sun?

Watching people rush out of their muddy winter holes and populating all green spaces of the city kind of explains major need for the Summer sun. Have fun capturing every available sun shine.

My question today: At what place would you rather want to hang out bearing in mind that this is a photo match that wants you to pick the better picture (after the jump - click to enlarge)…
