Collages

[Ciceronian]

Post collages you made yourself here. My first one is one depicting my favourite greatest Germans. Feel free to be inspired and post your own similar ones.

EDIT: First one to name all the guys in this collage gets some virtual brownie points from me.

 

[Ciceronian]

Come on guys! If no one has a collage to post themselves, at least take some guesses as to who these people are.

 

[warpus]

Off the top of my head, I see Einstein, Bismarck, ...

Hey, where's Hasselhoff??

 

[scherbchen]

I'll add Friedrich der Grosse and Helmut Schmidt. Pretty sure about Bach on the left side. Top right is Luther.

Wo is the guy with the black beard in the b/w photo?

 

[Narz]

A porn collage could be pretty funny.

Seriously though, cool thread idea. Just keep bumping it until someone will participate.

 

[scherbchen]

I see *mindmeld* 3 Summer Glau collages and 4 Firefly collages in your near future, 2 of those will be females only. Hmm, I will have to participate to make this happen, possibly.

 

[Gilder]

I see Old Fritz, Immanual Kant, Goethe, Luther, Einstien, and Bismarck.

The top left guy looks awfully familier, but I can't quite place where I've seen that picture.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Gauss top row on the left. I thought it was him but did check Wikipedia.

Here it is:
Boy nothing says "Support Capitalism" to the youth like a bunch of b&w photos of rich men w/ pocket watches and beards.

 

[scherbchen]

I'm going to put up one of Capitalist heros in a little bit...

please. it is "heroes". that is not even a US-GB spelling issue. there is no word "heros" in the English language. Everytime I see it I am reminded about "eros" and I think of Eros Ramazotti. The latter is unforgivable! Especially when you do it twice!

PS: and yes, the only thing I dislike about Eros is that he was with Michelle Hunzicker, otherwise I wouldn't care.

 

[Ciceronian]

Well done, all the guesses have been correct so far! The only ones missing now are the top left, the middle one in the right column and the guy to his left.

I'm going to put up one of Capitalist heros in a little bit...

Heros reminds me of the Greek/Latin spelling of the word. More spefically, it reminds me of a line from Ovid's Metamorphoses: "hanc simul et legem Rhodopeius accipit heros".

A porn collage could be pretty funny.

Great minds think alike, Narz. When I'm done with making it, I'll PM it to you and anyone else who is interested.

And I look forward to seeing those collages which have been promised.

 

[scherbchen]

the middle one in the right column

As I said before, that one has me vexed! Looks like he's from the RAF time (judging from the beard) but he's not familiar. Please reveal his identity before I go to bed

The "Holzschnitte" aren't even fair, tbh. That could be anyone.

PS: Goddamnit it's a soccer player! before my time, though. Breitner?nah, he had a Germanfro.

Yep, he is from the 70ies and he is a soccer player, the most prolific striker of the decade actually.

Der Bomber? real name on the tip of my tongue.... F* this I'll wiki it

hah! was just about to wiki it, but the decade helped. "Der Bomber"... damnit now I forgot the name again... Gerd Müller? Der Bomber der Nation?

excuse the double-post, It was really annoying to me to not get that name

 

[Ciceronian]

Yeah, got it Scherbchen! Seven times top scorer of the Bundesliga, he held the record for the most World Cup goals until 2006. The most awesome striker ever!

Sorry, but I cannot use english grammer or spelling. Even though I was brought up in it, I never quite got accustomed. Chinese is so much better.

phew, this would have kept me up all night

I feel ya. Sorry for being annoying there.

 

[Emperor2]

No problem.

Charlemange! That's who the bearded chap on the top left is.
