Re: [Cz-L] czernowitz-l digest: June 13, 2012

Andy,
 You speculate if Old Czernowitzer would have taken to stretch limos.
  They would , and how.
    Showing off was their favorite pastime.
   They were mad about American affluence.
     Real or imaginary.
      They would compete with the limo stretch length.
    You imagine old Czernowitzer as stoics of old Greece.

Re the stretch limo, Hardy, I doubt that Czernowitzers of our day would have
taken to it. It is a symbol of American affluent peasantry, something that
snooty Czernowitzers would have shunned and our Romanian peasants wouldn't
have had the money to rent such a gross vehicle. As I recall, the Lipoveners
would genuflect if they saw just an automobile since they assumed that if an
ox or horse wasn't pulling it, the devil must be pushing it. Aside from
houses that have survived the years, there is little in Cz today that can be
linked to the times and culture of pre-war Cz. Traiasca Regele!

Cheers,
Andy
