  I'm always giving love to St. Louis so I thought, why not devote a thread to the places we love to see. :)

  These pictures are from the most amazing place in St. Louis (other than Busch Stadium of course.) It's called the City Museum and basically it's a GIANT McDonald's funland for adults. Sooo much fun! :)

  The SEVEN story indoor slide

  Giant adult ball pits

  the caves

  And the ENORMOUS outdoor sculpture you can play on. I LOVE this place.

  I love Belgium (the country, not the crappy ineffective political system), and I love Austria.

  What beautiful maps, Dieter. Maybe you could've posted pictures of the cities. Are you trying to brush me up on my geography? I already got a tutorial from Matt after I called you Dutch.

  duveltjes definition: imp, little devil, small demon...

  Hmmm, I guess dogs really do emulate their owners.

  Well, SORRY I didn't catched your reference. I like the other definition better anyway. Please tell me you do not give your dogs Belgian beer. I have heard that stuff is potent. :P My ex woke up in the arms of a fountain with tourists photographing him in Bamberg after drinking copious amounts.

  And his friends had robbed him.

  Yeah, that usually happens with people who are used to beer that's similar to piss with some extra water. Atleast our beers are good and taste like bits off heaven

  Don't get snippy with me, MISTER! And yes, I am! as a matter of pure fact! :P

  That last picture reminds me of Virginia. Those are really gorgeous places, Dieter. I want to travel more. I've been all over the US but never anywhere else. :(

  Well, now the worst beer of all is Belguim. Budweiser. So HA!!

  I always drink imported beer anyway. American beer is so vile unless it's a micro-brew from a brewpub.

  One of MY favorites. :)

  Noooo, Budweiser was a St. Louis brand beer and the best selling beer worldwide. Now it is owned by some Belgian company.

  Budweiser has a long history in America. It was introduced more than 130 years ago by Adolphus Busch, who wanted to brew what was called the United States' first "national beer brand."

  "Today, the maker of that "American" beer, Anheuser-Busch, agreed to sell itself to Belgium brewer InBev for $52 billion — although the St. Louis-based brewer's CEO, August Busch IV, had told the company's wholesale distributors months ago that a sale would "not happen on his watch."

  Wikipedia sais otherwise, but anyhow AB Inbev does have a big number of breweries, but it doesn't brew itself. And besides, the worst beer ever is Heineken, made in Alduins little homecountry.

  Agreed, Heineken is overated, but its one of the most sold beers of all time. You can blame that on America^^
