Blogger "Pyramid"

In my recent post entitled "Blogger Jeopardy", commenter Staying Afloat suggested that I begin a new game for the enjoyment of my husband, who doesn't read my blog posts - only the comments.
The way "$25,000 Pyramid" works is that you get a category and your partner (my husband) has to guess the category based on the answers offered that fit the category.
So, we'll start off easy and if this works out, I might make it a regular feature.
Today's category:
THINGS ASSOCIATED WITH A REAL YEKKE

Ready?
Set?
Go forth and comment!

(P.S. Make sure not to mention the category in your responses or it will ruin the game...)

    I second the sense of humor.
    Honesty,
    Sterling character,
    and of course, INTEGRITY.

    being obsessed with being yekkish :-) (sorry, but I just had to...it is the one thing I know of that y'all share)

    also, KNOWING why you do EVERY SINGLE THING THAT YOU DO, and also the historical precedents for it, and having BOOKS that document it, and also your grandparents probably also knew how to read...
