Máš žízeň?
Mám žízeň jako trám.
That's a Czech phrase about being really thirsty. It means, literally, "I have a thirst like a girder." I guess you need a big drink to satisfy a thirst like that, but I never realized that girders and joists and crossbeams (oh my!) got thirsty.
I'd rather be thirsty like a monkey—at least they can scamper to the nearest water source. It's hard to do that if you're a girder.
Still thirsty?
If you are a monkey and live in Brno, then you can scamper on down to the "At the Thirsty Monkey" wine bar, just over the hill from NvB headquarters.

A graduate student in music and anthropology writing a dissertation about music in Moravia, the eastern third of the Czech Republic. At some point, the Czech Republic's "second city" (that would be Brno) captured my attention, and I've since been blogging about events, arts, music, and other stuff—basically whatever interests me in and around the cityscape. I'm not living in Brno now, but I keep up with the cultural pulse from afar as best I can.

Hey,
I was doing a Technorati search for Central Europe and found this site. This post made me laugh. I also like the way you indicate the number of comments. "this post bores everyone". This kind of dry humour would go brilliantly in Australia - we have our fair share of watering holes and don't care if you're crossbeam or '4 be 2'.

Hi Rodd, thanks for your comment! Glad you weren't bored, or thirsty. ;-)
