Oktoberfest

 

1. Beer is a sign that God loves us and wants us to be happy. B. Franklin

   Woould that Adolph and so many others over the decades had heeded Ben’s celebration!

2. Oktoberfest, while world famous, is Munchen’s most overrated tourist attraction. If you want to experience a real beer festival, travel to Munchen just before Lent and head over to the Salvatorkeller (a.k.a. Paulaner Brewery) for the annual starkbier fest (strong beer).

   The doppelbock or “the spring cure” will melt your winter blues away one liter at a time. I remember losing feeling in my feet after the first mug.  It gets pretty cloudy after that. I do recall another American in our group collecting D-marks from us for some unknown reason and used it to persuade the band to take his request.After handing over the money to what appeared to be a very annoyed bandleader, he came back to the table with a shit eating grin and while offering up a prost he told us to enjoy what was about to unfold.  After the band completed their number, the jovial mood inside the kellar (about 5000 people) turned downright hostile, deckals (beer coasters) by the thousands criss crossed their way around the tent like cardboard frisbees.  None of us at the time understood what the hell was happening until our man in the know told us he paid the band to play a prussian march.  Gotta be careful with Bavarians, they are very much like texans.

   well anyway, sorry to get off track and a bit long winded. seeing the picture of that frauline above got my dick hard.

5. Beer?  What beer??

6. I think Kuso is referring to the Fasching festival, equivalent to the Mardi Gras, and always a big affair in Munich.

   And by the way, Adolf and company did heed Ben’s celebration.  However, it went down in history as the Beer Hall Putsch.

   The new Bremen Saint Pauli Girl is nice, all right.  Wish they’d export her along with the beer.
