I bought a toothbrush today called "Dr.Best". I'm not sure who the German marketing wunderkind was who decided on this but it is perhaps the most brilliant branding of a toothbrush I have come across. First, there is the collegial, wise, and explicitly emphatic "Dr", which just begs for serious consideration of any and all of the toothbrush's amazing design innovations (think thumb grip, flex, and four different lengths of bristle) and then add "best" and any and all naysayers and doubting thomases are immediately put in their place. Shazaam.
On a completely different wavelength I have two observations about the U-Bahn (subway) in Bonn:
1. The perfect music for your early morning commute: Miike Snow's "Animals"
2. N'er-do-wells and hooligans hang out by the train platform. This morning they each had a watermelon in a shopping bag.
Finally, two things to look out for in Bonn in August:
1. Christ (an upscale german leather goods store coming soon to Munsterplatz). Christ is coming!
2. Foreigner on their "Can't Slow Down" tour- August 27th on the Bonn Summer stage. Can't slow down tour???? Is this a bad reference to a certain Keanu Reeves/ Sandra Bullock movie?... if their partying goes below a certain threshold their careers will explode? Or are they mildly apologetic... like two virgins who'd like to make the moment last longer, if only they could?
