Luckily historical analogies to Karl Julius didn't come just from Germans. Our friend Markus for example, who's Austrian and who threw the three day bash in Vienna Fred and I had met back then. He reminded us that Karl's initials stand for the reveered K & K monarchy, that the heart of that monarchy used to be Klosterneuburg. Where Duke Karl defeated the Turks. Where during the three day party one of the lunches took place. At a restaurant once owned by Markus's grandmother. Which also used to be the hangout of the Austrian actor Helmut Qualtinger. Who became famous with the monologue "Der Herr Karl". Which he performed nearby, getting drunk after his performances with wine served by Markus's grandmother.
Definitely beats the November 9th remarks we got all around. Oh, and Markus sent Karl a rather avantgarde white teddy bear by Hermes. Which he took to quite fondly already.
