"You're not really going to, are you?" This is what my husband said when I told him that the Mausefalle was going into internet.
"You're not serious, are you?" "Doch!" I said, "We've gotta to keep Tanner Traditions up."
Dive. Hole-in-the-wall. Dump. Kaschem. These would be euphanisms for the Mausefalle. The Mausefalle is Gustav's shed. It has a pipe-oven-stove, a toilet (unisex), an automatic dart machine, a ghetto blaster from 1972, where only one speaker works.
Sometime during the 70's when Gustav had lots of friends over, he always bought a few cases of extra beer and soft drinks. But one day, Gustav had to leave town. That didn't stop the neighbors from coming over. They just drank Gustav's beer and put the money in a cup.
The cup is still there. Beer costs 0.90 €, soft drinks 0.70€. The prices are etched in black ink on a paper plate, stuck with a thumbtack in the wall. The walls are plastered with pictures of mice and nude women calenders.
Strange, but after all these years, nobody has ever jipped Gustav. Your welcome to come over any day of the week and shot the breeze with the neighbours. To tell you the truth, I think they would fall over in a dead faint if you actually did.
Dress Code: DO NOT Dress up. The wrong thing to do would be to put on a tie, this would make everybody leave in a big hurry.
DO bring a picture, photo or sticker of a mouse. You could mark your little nitch in history here.
