I was thinking, "that doesn't sound like something the German police would do" and then clicked and saw it happened in Seattle. Never mind.

submitter: "Mein laben"

I don't think that means what you think it means...

/because it doesn't mean anything

nunyabidness		2009-01-03 07:48:19 AM

Yikes, I think yall are missing the point. Thats what all the nazis in wolfenstien 3d would yell. Boy I feel old.

Does anybody else remember the first time you heard the word

GUTENTAG!!! coming out of your pc. Probably the greatest oh crap moment in video game history

Maybe "Mein Leben"?

Although it would be funnier if he said "Meine Labia".

"... pointed a rifle affixed with a bayonet at officers and refused orders to drop the weapon."

Well, then.

nunyabidness: Thats what all the nazis in wolfenstien 3d would yell

You're not alone- I remember it well. :)

Sybarite		2009-01-03 09:02:17 AM

When he saw the cops, did he yell "Schutzstaffel!"?

Me too. Between Wolfenstein and Blake Stone and Doom and later Rise Of The Triad I certainly had my hands full of bad guys to shoot and make explodey.

Sir Cumference the Flatulent: Maybe "Mein Leben"?

Yeah, that would make more sense.
Never owned the video game, so I don't know if subby's hearing is off or not... too busy living the good life in Germany with the Fräuleins and beer!!

He was "a peaceful and loving young man," his mother, Dianne Murphy, told the local newspaper.

He was merely an apt pupil.

/obscure?

Well duh, they were all on vacation in Poland. Stupid American tourists.

Hey, by getting shot by an American, got to fully realize the German solider experience.

Yeah, police are kind of funny about people pointing rifles at them and refusing to put them away.

Nein.

Came here to point out that "Mein Leben" would be correct. Now I feel like a grammar nazi. How appropriate!

Please don't shoot me

Are you referring to the ORIGINAL Castle Wolfenstein (For Apple II+)? I don't recall "Gutentag," but nothing in a video game has ever scared me more than when the SS would arrive, and yell in their scratchy, distorted voice, "SS! SS!"

/and those grenades rarely worked

You know, in Germany, you can't even talk about being so obnoxiously nitpicky with grammar.. free speech be damned

Ashtrey		2009-01-03 11:39:20 AM

I don't care how you're dressed, pointing a gun at police and refusing to put it down is a bad idea.

Yea...that's what I was thinking..

Besides what kind of dick shoots off guns (even if blanks) in an apt complex? A dick who who is possibly drunk enough to ignore police directives and who probably has a hard-on for his lost "Aryan culture"...

Darwined..

Fubegra		2009-01-03 11:41:07 AM

Somehow, I think the

tag would have been appropriate here. Pointing a rifle at cops? That's one of the stupidest things one can do.

Indeed, I remember that as well. Also when you kill Hitler and he says "Eva...Auf Wiedersehen" before melting into a big pile of bloody goop.

Jamrock		2009-01-03 11:41:39 AM

Hände ho oder ich schießen!

nunyabidness		2009-01-03 11:43:07 AM

MOHWowbagger: Are you referring to the ORIGINAL Castle Wolfenstein

Now that I think about it, i think that was from spear of destiny when you encountered the power armored multi mini gun wielding Hitler. Forgive me, thats been many moons and many bourbons ago.

asmith993		2009-01-03 11:43:29 AM

Molon Labe what you were going for subby? With a little German substitution?

Schadenfreude ist die schoenste Freude		2009-01-03 11:44:32 AM

Police fatally shoot German history buff - "Mein laben" T-Shirt

His refreshed? And even then laben is a verb.

If you were shooting for "Mein Leben", that isn't really a phrase anyone utters. Particularly not when dying.

How about "Leck mich im Arsch du blöde Fotze"?

Oh, and this is for you:

If the story about what he was doing is at all accurate, it sounds like they didn't have a helluva lot of choice in the matter.

No, that was Wolfenstein 3D, but I had to look it up to be sure.

Hitler starts off in a robotic suit and then appears in his uniform when you destroy the robotic suit. Not too tough, just use the usual stratagy of standing far away

...except the enemies in Wolfenstein, which is what the headline was referring to.

Oddly enough, I have heard thousands of Germans say it when dying.

The guy misspelled an intentionally fractured phrase from a video game. He doesn't deserve your venom. But hey, this is FARK, so par for the course, I suppose.

"Mein laben"? Could you at least have looked it up?

"Mein Fehler," maybe.

KingDaz		2009-01-03 11:57:30 AM

Gotta love rejects that rag on hilarious headlines because they just don't get it!

/still lol'in

nunyabidness		2009-01-03 11:58:20 AM

they put out one a few years back. It was called return to castle wolfenstien. It was almost great untill you get to the final boss and he goes down quick. You can beat him by running up to him and stabbing him with the knife. zero skill needed there.

Yendor		2009-01-03 11:58:55 AM

Ha! Wolfenstein on the Apple ][+ !! That game ROCKED!

its weird how, in TV's COPS, et al., you never see the ones that got away or wasted a cop.

the Cops always win on TV. strange, ain't it?

that's why its called Propaganda.

Like so many other things, it probably seemed like a good idea at the time.
