This term seems to have two meanings. See Der Neubauer Hunde-Knigge and Scheißtag. For doggerel and songs see www.hundekot.at. Or alternatively Confiserie Heindl.
Patently silly cites and links to a patent for a Receptacle Assembly for Receiving Canine Fecal Matter (with drawings) (via a comment in Metroblogging Vienna).
Meanwhile, in Fürth, not everyone is as lucky as I am to live in the same building as Hektor, the model for the latest Hundehäufchen leaflet.
Evan Schaeffer, in his Legal Underground, once explained how important he thinks it is for a lawyer to have a hobby.
Had he encountered Donald Ray Burger, of Houston, Texas?
Not just turtles and farewell to a Texas boot store, but Cherokees and outstanding store-bought blackberry jelly.

In What About Clients?, Dan Hull discusses and links legal weblogs outside the USA.
He starts with the West and Asia; Latin America, Africa and the Middle East are next. Most are in the English language. Some are new to me (but Austria is missing).
Princes Charles, William and Harry were on an ITV chat show recently. According to the BBC:
bq. The young princes also reveal “there is usually an argument over the remote” and that they watch reality TV shows including Pop Idol and I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! – both presented by their interviewers.
bq. Britain’s young Princes William and Harry are fans of “American Pop Idol” and “Friends” and argue with their father Prince Charles over the TV remote control, they have revealed in an interview.
I’m not sure if they really do watch ‘American Pop Idol’ or just the British equivalent. I suspect the latter.
But in the Rheinische Post (paper version, May 20) I read:
bq. Die britischen Prinzen William und Harry sind zumindest in punkto Fernsehgewohnheiten ganz normale Menschen: “Wir streiten uns um die Fernbedienung”, sagte William dem Senden ITV1. Die US-Serie “Friends” sei immer eine sichere Bank, ergänzte sein jüngerer Bruder. Auch Talentshows wie “Deutschland sucht den Superstar” lieben die Prinzen.

I was surprised to see a garment in a German fashion catalogue termed ein Chasuble.
An online dictionary says:
Chasuble (sprich schaßübl): Sehr lange Weste, die bis zur Kleiderlänge variiert werden kann.
Well, I was thinking of the English term pronounced somewhat like tSaezjubl. The last time I wore one of these was about forty years ago, when I had the misfortune to be cast as the chaplain in the school’s (all-female) production of the dreadful Christopher Fry play, ‘The Lady’s Not For Burning’ (later made more famous by Mrs Thatcher under a slightly different title). My garb wasn’t as exciting as this, but it was that kind of thing.
When did this term enter the German fashion world – at the same time as body bag?
