Same Procedure as Every Year
If counted well the Germans today can/could watch Dinner for One (The 90th Birthday) 20 times at different times on various TV-channels, and apart from the original in various German dialects, inclusive Schwiizerdütsch (Swiss German). Very strange folks, the Germans. Well, judge for yourself.
Tiny tip-off: Be absolutely determined not to laugh.

Laughing Lhursday*
Across the street from Seanhenge, a Christmas elf named Wolfram moved in at the beginning of December.
![]() |
He has not yet been seen, but he writes regularly, and often traces of his highly varied nocturnal activities are unmistakable. |
![]() |
The other day he was told in a letter that the writer's grandfather had cooked him a portion of rice, and ... |
![]() |
. . . that she, the letter writer, hoped Wolfram would relish it. |
![]() |
And yes, it did taste, Wolfram wrote, but asked for indulgence that unfortunately he did not quite manage to entirely eat the huge portion. |
I would not let a tiny T spoil an avantgardistic alliteration.
