The Sound of Music-oblivious Salzburg Lady.

I decided to scan in a bunch of old photos to share with friends today, and figured I'd share one with Mefites too. Since y'all loved that story so much I figured I should give you a visual image to put with it.

Adorable, ja?

Damn, if I'm even half as elegant as that woman is when I'm her age, the Gods will be smiling on me.

I'm gonna end up as the white version of Uncle Ruckus from The Boondocks, I just know it. (And those who said 'what do you mean, end up?' can fuck right off now.)

The thread ID number for this post matches my user ID number. I was actually a little confused when I hovered over the link, wondering if I was being called out in some obscure manner.

Cool pics!

It was taken in the Mirabell Garten... just look at the fountain in back of her and then watch this (4:25).

I'm so disappointed that this wasn't an elaborate rick-roll.

Oompa!

I want this lady to turn up and tell me I'm a princess of Genovia, and give me lessons in hat-iquette.

She looks infinitely sweet.

IRFH, there's still the potential for elaboration.

I'm sorry... perhaps you have forgotten, but I don't rickroll.

I love it. Exactly how I pictured her too. I will always remember that story. Thanks!

The Mirabell Gardens have the most meticulously clean public bathrooms I have ever had the pleasure of using. My wife and I both still look back on them fondly.

I work with the actor who played "kurt" in the movie, but he doesn't like people bringing it up. The synchronicity is torture.

She IS adorable. Our Mirabell Gardens "Do-Re-Mi" number in 1995 was one of the fondest memories from my trip :) Thanks Miss Lynnster!
