Those Germans know how to party. Who else would be celebrating a wedding from nearly 200 years ago?

some of the gayest shiat ever gets posted sometimes.

Remember when there used to be clever headlines? Those were the good ole days.

Clever headline writers surrender.

Yeah, that is a pretty shiatty headline, cause it really gives you wrong idea. I don't see what's wrong with the story, though.

Having just returned from Oktoberfest (the real one in Munich), I gotta say I can understand. Real German beer is outstanding. tasty as can be, plus I was awed by the fact that I could drink liter after liter of the stuff and not have even a hint of hangover. When all you use is barley malt, hops, yeast, and water, it sounds almost healthy.

In related news, any Mnchen Farkers reading this? Looks like I'm moving there in December.

Now I'm impressed.
I'll drink to that.

Reuters needs to get a farking proof reader. 6.3 million ppl, drinking a total of 6.1 million liters. so, don't really sound like much drinking on there.

After that much beer evey girl looks like this...

Bunch of tea drinkers?

lame post day i guess, someone die or something for christ sake!!!

yeah, your mom

I think Bush should use this as a pro to his presidency.

i just opened a guinness.

oh, i get it. "toilet surrenders" is so unfunny that it passes the unfunny meter and breaks into the 'funny' meter.

i get it

Ah that's nuffin. I bet it'd take half of us Wisconsinites to drink twice as much beer. Here we aren't alcoholics, we're professionals.

I can vouch for Elite_French_Warrior. With a state that has so many morbidly obese people...you know they could drink a lot of beer.

Isn't putting 'German' and 'beer fans' in the same sentence a little redundant?

Best line of the article...

The price of the litre-sized mugs -- a key barometer of inflation in Germany --

St Pauli Girl is a northern German beer from Hamburg, completely different from the southern German beer found at Oktoberfest.

Ach du lieber, Augustine! Pass me another stein! It's still Sunday in the US!

North Germany rules! My family hails from the Hamburg area. Some time back, but what the hell. Back in trhe old days Becks was pretty good. I have to admit the best I recall was something called "Dortmunder Union" that I don't think is available any more. Not hereabouts anyhow. Spaten makes a pretty good brew, though, and at $6 a six at Trader Joes, pretty good buy, too.

last night i drank 120 oz. of beer.

Bayer uber Alles!

How did they do that? I can hardly ever get my German beer to down, let alone "fan."

Yeah, I farked that up. It's ok, because I stole it anyway.

Elite_French_Warrior ,

Is that why Hazelden is located so close to the Min/Wis state line?

I am a displaced Muenchner. My email is in my bio if you have any questions.

(Displaced: not born there, not living there, but I did live there, and wish I was still there)

Setinotathome:

I have said this to you before:

I went to Oktoberfest last year and had no problem at all getting a beer. You just have to know what you're doing. It's really quite easy.

You must just suck or something.

pussies. I drank that much just during today's Packer game.

Wait a minute, there's beer in Germany?

Munich is a lovely little town. Had a great time there, aside from the surly woman who wouldn't sell me Birkenstocks. Maybe I should move there, too.

Great thing about beer ... It's recycled.

I once swam in a pool with that much piss in it ........not!!!

HEHE I gotta go pee.

Fark Me To Tears

Remember, you only rent beer too. Then you need to turn it in to be recycled.

abrakadabrakoff

Good deal man - we'll have to talk. I'll shoot you an e-mail tomorrow with some ?s. You ever thought of going back?

Setinoathome:

Ha! Insulting me by insinuating I'm gay!

That's so clever!

100 theoretical dollars says those toilets were French

/these days you have to specify theoretical, all I can say is wow

drivinwest - I live one hour east of Munich in Salzburg. I wish I was on the other side of the border!

1) Pot is better than beer.

2) See 1)

arkan

I hear Salzburg is great but I can understand Bavaria's alure! Would you mind if I asked you some questions? I'll make my e-mail address in my profile public - if you could e-mail me I'd really appreciate it.

:))
Funny one, Im from Munich but I only visit the "Wiesn" (thats our name for the Oktoberfest) about 2-3 times a year... and thats enough! To many drunk tourists making it a hell for everyone whos sober ;)
Cheers from Munich,
Maximilian

Well, if you're unable to order a beer there then you must be doing something wrong.

Finally:

1. Calling somebody gay is not an insult.
2. I am not gay.
3. Your facts are mistaken. Ordering a beer at Oktoberfest is quite simple.

Oh and:

4. Sorry for initially insulting you. It wasn't intended in the manner in which it was received.

i got beer there... i think i had 1.5 liters. I had to sit outside tho.. in the rain.. with a bunch of creepy men.. i got pushed onto the subway car and stuck beside some guy that stunk so bad... also walking thru all the puke and still the rain (i ruined my shoes) to get home. The hole night i wanted to ride that damned roller coaster, but i didnt get to.

Oktoberfest was sucktacular.



The beer was good tho.
