Anyhow, zeitgeist that IS a cool name! What does it mean, if I may ask?
I think doesn't 'geist' mean spirit or something? I'm thinking this because 'poltergeist' is a mischievous spirit, supposedly.

What He-Man collection are you talking about? I thought the classic series was already available on DVD?
So, as Optimus would say: "Transform and roll out!"
zeitgeist: Cool! Thanks. Now I understand and hopefully will write it correctly next time. I grew up with "gazoontheit" (er... correct my spelling as I KNOW I got that wrong! ) being "God Bless You" or something which you say when someone sneezes. I used to watch the US show "My Three Sons" with my mom and when I heard "Uncle Charlie" say that, I had laughed and laughed and had to repeat it. (I was just a kid ) My mother (who was full Lithuanian) told me what it meant. So it was said all the time after that.
I wish I had the time to learn German. I'm also eyeing the park nearby to find out when the German Festival will be. I know it's sometime in August each year. I went the year before last, but not last year. I hope maybe I can make it this year. They make a GREAT vegetarian saurkraut, and believe me, I could eat saurkraut (even the stuff I make myself) for breakfast - cold! I just have to be careful as acidy stuff does a job on my stomach. But a little bit now and then I enjoy.
I don't eat meat or dairy (again, stomach trouble) so I don't eat most of the other stuff. But when I got to the fest, it sure smells good!
I'm always glad to meet those from my great grandparents' home countries.
