See If You Can Do Better With Kissy Than I Did.

I
'd like you to meet Kissy, the virtual tourguide who greets you when you visit the web page of the German spa town of Bad Kissingen. (Click on the link to meet her yourself.)



"Hello and a hearty welcome!" says Kissy.

Kissy's very helpful.

"Here you can find information about events going on in and around Bad Kissingen," Kissy says.

And you can also flirt with Kissy!

I tell Kissy that I thought "99 Luftballons" was a cool song.

Sweet! "There's no life without singing," Kissy says.

Emboldened, I tell Kissy that she has very beautiful eyes.

"I'm just going to take that as a compliment," replies the coquetteish fräulein.

But then I ask her what she thinks of Hitler.

It totally spoils the mood.

Almost, but not quite, completely off-topic, the heroine of Ian Fleming's James Bond novel You Only Live Twice was named Kissy Suzuki. As the surname implies, she was Japanese, not German.

For those of you who don't speak German, I typed it up into google translate. I think it roughly says "I don't want to speak with you anymore."

Actual translation from google is:

"I do not believe that I might have spoken with them more daruber"

ELM: She says, "I don't think I care to talk to you about that." It's the expression on her face that I love.

It would never have worked out anyway, given the language and cultural differences, dimensional barrier and existence/nonexistence issues.
