When you don’t have an umlaut the convention is to add a lowercase e after the vowel, like Heinrich Böll becomes Heinrich Boell. Or Moetley Cruee. The Garden Weasel was invented by a German guy named Gerhard Gütschow (Gerhardt Guetschow) who may very well be the actor Gert Gütschow who was featured in a 1988 film called “Einer trage des anderen Last” although that was an East German movie and the Garden Weasel was shown at a Cologne (Köln) trade show in 1974 and I’m not sure how permeable the border between the two Germanies was to spiky garden gadgets.

- I know you have your choice of blogs; thank you for choosing 100 word rant. I believe that any idea that needs more than 100 words isn't worth expressing in the first place. So I've dedicated myself to these rants: One hundred words, no more, no less, each and every week. I want to reach out, share some of my insights and, yes, a little of the wisdom I've picked up in my journey through this funny thing we call life. Plus, I don't get paid for this, and even a hundred free words is more than I can afford.
