pants off

In the very beginning, when I had not been aware of the difference between pants and shorts, I thought people would go ride the subway naked. I was really thinking whether I should be that brave. Realizing to be in slightly prude America made me understand that pantfree subway riding would be enough braveness. The system developed by the gobi lumberjacks, a group, which does improve theater in public, is really smart:

Two random subsequent trains of the Atlanta 'marta' subway are picked. The front one is the with pant train, the one following is the pantfree one. After entering the first train, station by station some improvlers exit having taken off their pants right before the train stops. It seems already weird to see some people waiting at the platform pantfree, but it is even weirder to see more and more pantfree 'marta' riders entering the train. "Why do you guys not wear pants??" some confused coriders ask. "Oh, I don't know the story of those other people, but I was in a terrible rush this morning so I just forgot to put on my pants."

The atlanta journal constitution had a (pant wearing ) journalist aboard and reported.

english as first language

Though english is not my mother tongue, it became the blog's tongue. no worries, there is no such thing as licking through the screen. However, there are many reasons for choosing english, for example the reasoning that why should it not be it. More importantly, it allows the world to read this, following the theme from world citizens for world citizens. Another reason is the limitation of german and other languages in terms of expressions for amasement. There is no equivalent word for 'awesome', so there cannot be an appropriate description of my experiences abandoning english. Of course, you will see use of german, especially when gossiping about specific people or peoples in general that have not acquired the power of german language. thank you for your understanding.

this is how it started

Like every well written text, I will start this one with a definition of the title. I guess 'atlanta' and 'blog' are pretty obvious, if you consider that I have been in atlanta since last august and this is a blog. to really understand the meaning of the word 'after' in this context, I give some references below.

(1) Meaning following in position or time

synonyms: afterwards, back, back of, behind, below,ensuing, hind, hindmost, in the rear, later, next,posterior, postliminary, rear, subsequential,subsequently, succeeding, thereafter

antonyms: before

(2) The state you are in after you party, usually the next morning. Generally an awful look and feeling are present.

Richard: "Damn, John, you look so after."

John: "I feel after...anyway hand me a beer."

(3) A German word meaning anus. One to avoid when engaging in conversation with Berliner society matrons.

In spite of many years spent living in New York City, Hans (ever polite) still approached the word "after" with trepedation, still connecting it with both his mother tongue, and his nether regions.
