^^ Yeah. It only hasn't been around for damn near 18 or 19 years. 
Is the Berlin Wall still up?

Just make sure one individual has a time limit of how long they can stand up in front of the crowd. Oh! And keep hand motions at a minimum. I know how you all get riled up with yelling and hand motions.
Enjoy your German Unity Day, though! :hatsoff:
Too bad it isn't on a weekday so you can have a day off though, eh?

Oh hell no! That line is wrong, really. I mean, yes it is in our national anthem but I feel that it sould be worked over.
You know, the first and second stanzas are forbidden since a court decided that in 1990.
They are about Germany stretching from the Maas (A river through France, Belgium and the Netherlands) to the Memel (East of Poland, running through Lithuania), and so we only sing the third stanza:
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
Für das deutsche Vaterland!
Danach lasst uns alle streben
Brüderlich mit Herz und Hand!
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
Sind des Glückes Unterpfand;
|: Blüh' im Glanze dieses Glückes,
Blühe, deutsches Vaterland. :|
Unity and justice and freedom
For the German fatherland!
For these let us all strive
Brotherly with heart and hand!
Unity and justice and freedom
Are the pledge of fortune;
|: Bloom in this fortune's blessing,
Bloom, German fatherland. :|

So, this is, like, you guys's 4th of July, or something, right? Today is when you remember that Washington freed the slaves and Lincoln landed on the moon, right? How do you guys celebrate? I mean, you don't have a proper July 4th sport, like baseball, that you can watch while drinking beer and barbecuing, right? Do you guys just, like, get together, eat bratwurst, drink beer, and dance polkas? :dunno:
Congratulations Deutschland! :hatsoff:

Congrats on the unification. Now just don't try to unify with Austria or we'll be having problems.
But the Anschluss is inevitable :dunno: They'll only be problems if they want Kolberg-Körlin and Kulmerland back
Yes they do, they call it breakfast :1orglaugh

Actually, it is called 'Schützenfest' We congregate and shoot at a wooden bird on a pole, and who knocks off the head gets 'Schützenkönig' for a year. It gets done in villages ,ostly, from 'Schützenvereine' (What you guys call 'Gun Club', it is more traditionally over here, no semi-automatic bullshit^^)
- plus the infamous 'Oktoberfest', which is celebrating its 200th turn right now.

Ok then forget the anthem and just do what they do around here when we have a Deutschfest. Lots of old fat white guys in liederhosen drinking beer from steins, eating bratwurst with sauerkraut and singing "In Heaven There Is No Beer" to an oom-pah-pah band.

Hey Germans, go crazy; have an Anschluss with Austria. Make sure everybody gets drunk (my aunt who owns a bar in Austria loves good business holidays) In fact, go the whole hog; invite the Swiss and the Dutch! You can do so safely in the knowledge that the Swiss won't join because they're neutral and the Dutch won't join because they won't understand real German.
