Yippee Ki Yay ~ it's time to get our "Very Merry German Holiday Month" on by attempting to learn from and relate to the very German villain, Hans Gruber, from the movie Die Hard (1988)! If you thought it would be sehr hard to do this with Hans, you are correct. We talk: Holy moly - Han's plan was insane in the membrane; learning from Hans that sometimes things need to [figuratively] explode to eventually work; the importance of preparation; and much more. Joe shares a blackout poem of his that relates to the mysterious Hans. To create a blackout poem, you cross out words/sentences in an existing text, book, or other prose to create a poem.
