I thought people who thought all that were a myth, a phantom, second cousin to Harvey the rabbit.

Slogans like "joy through giving" always sound better in German to me.

Well I am a little bit magic and that might make me mythical in some eyes! ;-)

and ew, German :-p I don't like that language at all.

[gonadsandstrife]

...I see.

Why don't you like the German language? My grandmother and her entire family are German so I quite like the language myself. I find it to be a very intelligent language that you can use very creatively if you know the words.

I just don't like the sound of it -- maybe if I heard it often enough to get used to it I might change my mind, but to my untrained ear it sounds very harsh.

Well, yeah, it's not the prettiest sounding language. Having grown up with it and knowing the basic gist of the language, it sounds good to me but I can see that to the "untrained ear" it doesn't sound as poetic as it really is. It kinda does just sound like big booing voices making guttural noises. ;)
