Hi Chris,
what about this one:
Ein Stammtisch ist
ein BESTIMMTER Tisch
an einer BESTIMMTEN Stelle
eines BESTIMMTEN Lokales,
wo sich zur BESTIMMTEN Zeit
BESTIMMTE Gäste einfinden,
welche mit BESTIMMTEN
BESTIMMTE Gespräche fuehren,
dann zur BESTIMMTEN oder
auch UNBESTIMMTEN Zeit
in einer BESTIMMTEN oder
UNBESTIMMTEN Verfassung
nach Hause gehen,
wo sie von einer BESTIMMTEN Person
mit BESTIMMTEN Redensarten
oder BESTIMMTEN Gegenständen
empfangen werden. (Prost !)
supposing bestimmt can be translated with certain this is:
A Stammtisch is
a certain table
at a certain place
of a certain pub,
where at a certain time
certain guests will find together,
to discuss certain topics,
then at a certain time or
uncertain time
in a certain or
uncertain condition
walk home,
where a certain person
will welcome him
in a certain way
or with a certain kitchentool

"Stammtisch" is that institution peculiar to Germany, where a certain
group of people reserve a table at a local pub/restaurant for meeting
regularly to drink beer, discuss politics, and play cards (usually in
that order). It sometimes also carries the negative connotation of being
a major source of reactionary ideology in Germany, since its members are
usually made up of conservative men who believe that the views expressed
under the influence of alcohol are eternal truths. (Germans being the
seekers of "eternal truths".) The best historical example of this is
probably the Bierhaus Putsch (=3Dcoup attempt) in Munich in 1923 during
which Hitler first tried to acceed to power by force, taking advantage of
his followers organized around "Stammtische".
The NUG in D=FCsseldorf, Germany of course shares none of these traditions.=
If we do talk about politics, it's about why Apple killed the Newt. ;-)
Chris Searles (curious to see how Matze will define "Stammtisch")
