Geld oder Leben!

What did he say?

 

Golden Lame.

 

Yeah, I heard that too - but what does it mean?

 

Isn't it weird, that even small children know their own language better than foreigners?

 

Oi, we ain't no foreigners - we're invaders!

 

Isn't that the same, but with a different flavour?

 

Flavour - that's it! He's waving his shashlik skewer about because he wants to invite us to his barbeque!

 

Good thinking! I'll take two of your Golden Lame!

 

Yeah, and a beer!

 

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

"Geld oder Leben" means, you might have guessed it, your money or your life. Not the best idea for a child to say that to Saxon invaders, but well... They are friendly enough, if you give them beer.

 

That figure is put together from different sources. The head and foil are from the BAM stand in Berlin, the torso is a gift from Dianne, the legs are borrowed from Arcorn Boy, and the scarf is from Ninjago Pirates.

 

...and thre hours later I realise that I've uploaded the wrong picture. That was a first trial with too low light, changed it now.
