Gelsenkirchen: Pre-Game

So it's before the game and we're all pretty much walking on air (and beer & brats, natch!). It's an hour before my first World Cup match and I feel good. Even Czech Man couldn't bring me down.

At every stadium and Fan Fest, outside the security gates, was a poster which listed all the items and behavior that was prohibited inside.

Apparently in addition to weapons, drugs and bull horns, also on the prohibited list are toilet paper, luggage, dogs, martinis and ninjas. The last one is just plain weird.
