That's it. Combines German and Caddyshack. I'm off to eat some (veggie) brats and get drunk.

This is the single most horrid story I've read on the forums all day.

It's amazing how effectively that last sentence completely invalidates everything said before it.

One bad adjective and you're toast.

Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

What's Caddyshack in German?
after doing some research about the movie (...and now i got the point, as a running-gag the greenkeeper tried also to get rid of a rodent with all kind off different methods which interacts with the mainstream of the plot in the end)

i would translate it "Geräteschuppen auf dem Golfplatz"  or  "Geräteschuppen des Platzwarts (im Golfclub)"
or "Geräteschuppen des Zeugwarts" (but 'Zeugwart' is mostly used in Soccer not Golf and about the jerseys & shoes)

i dont play Golf (yet, ...i feel too poor and to young ;-) ) if Caddys have a dedicated separate mess-hall away from their rich customers for breaks having a chit-chat, a smoke and chow? it could be also the  "Golfplatz Kantine" 

...the building in your picture i would call a "Geräteschuppen" (a nicer one) for sure

Thanks, Mike. It always helps to have someone who speaks the language as a native :)

I'm going to assume that Gerateschuppen means outhouse.

I'm going to Lowe's (a home improvement center) later this morning.  I need a new blade for my lawn mover and a bottle of two-stroke engine oil.  I'm going to let the mower run over the hole for awhile to put the fuzz ball on notice.

an outhouse is a "Plumpsklo" (the historical version of a porta potty)  ;)
"Geräteschuppen" i  would re-translate into 'tool shed'

concerning the mower ....if it were not so poolitical incorrect for a German, i would say: 'a hose from the mower's-muffler into the hole cant hurt either when the thing hovers at that spot anyway' :o
...but dont let possible PETA neighbours get a fix on it

OK, that is the best laugh I've had in about a month. Maybe two.

Well I let the mower run for several minutes over the hole; I've nicknamed my nemisis Noriega.  I need to find a speaker that I can drop down into the hole to start the second phase of the noise assault to drive him out.

Bison

I've also decided to call the operation Fall Plumpsklo.  It has a good ring to it.
