What is a vogelfänger, and why would somebody announce to the world that they are one?

A vogelfänger is different for everybody. It depends who you ask. For some its just a hobby and others its very spiritual. If you ask 10 people you will get 15 different definitions. But its not sexual for everybody like the media likes to promote. ;)

Every fandom has its extreme members. Be it vogelfängers or stamp collectors. We haver no controle what goes on behind closed doors. :)

The wily and elusive vogelfänger can be found only in the deepest, darkest regions of deepest, darkest Africa. It dines primarily upon adventurers but in moments of extreme duress it will also eat Twinkies.

Vogelfängers mate for life, and they live very long lives indeed. Woe betide he who slays a vogelfänger's mate, for the surviving one will hunt him down and destroy him, no matter where he may flee.

Rudyard Kipling wrote about the vogelfänger in an early edition of "Just So Stories" until one of them tracked down his publisher and slaughtered the man, leaving behind only three teeth and a small piece that might have been a metacarpal. After this Kipling thought it prudent to remove the vogelfänger from future editions of the book.

It has fangs about....It can LEAP about.......Look at the BONES!!!

Fear the vogelfänger.

cheers,
Phil

And one would announce that one is a vogelfänger because it's Mozart.

What? You expected Mozart to make sense?

I've seen The Magic Flute... but only in Swedish.

(I took a Swedish class in college and that was one of the films the teacher showed.)
