HAHAHAHAHA...because Drew likes beer...LOLOLOLOLOLOLROTFLMAO

A German dictionary shall avail thee nought in Bavaria. The dialect they speak down there is a mix between Klingon and alligator mating sounds.

Drew should have a big steak before he goes... Harrelson has some strange dietary habits...

What's a "pilgrimag?"

Sounds like a D&D villain. "Kneel, mortals, before the might of Pilgrimag the Harbinger!"

What's a "pilgrimag?"

A weekly newspaper for religious travellers?

Woody Harrelson made beer pilgrimage to Munich for Oktoberfest, Drew last seen packing his german dictionary on way to airport way back in September.


/kinda fixed it.

Thanks for the laugh, blahpers.

Yeah...isn't this a little late? Also, obligatory...

Oh, I get it!!! Hahaha, it's funny because Drew likes beer! Oh...oh...man, that's...oh...that's classic.

Wait, I'm not done HOLDING MY SIDES.

There's nothing German about Oktoberfest except that it's in Germany. It was invented by the Americans after WWII to try to improve the German image. Still, it's a good excuse to drink a lot of beer.

cmon the only good german accent is koelsch. same with beer..

I think the submitter was too excited to give Woody Harrelson a HERO tag to check the spelling before submitting the link.

Incidentally, I believe that this officially proves beyond all doubt that the "HERO" tag officially jumped the shark a while ago, and this is what we're looking at now:

If I'm reading that article, how can I be writing this? Or does tense matter?

no. it goes back to 1810. read their site. they started serving food and beer in the tents towards the end of the 19th century. since 1950 (3rd time it took place after the war, starting again in 1948) they have been doing the now traditional "o'zapft is", but that has nothing to do with americans, either.

What I'm most curious about is how slow the entertainment news must be if some hack was able to take an off-hand comment by Harrelson, likely in the middle of some press junket, and turn it into its own substory.

forked_at_fark: Sehr lustig.

Es ist lustig weil es wahr ist.

Achtung: Haessde raesch, Jong. Hoett isch net baesser sahre kuenne.

Wo komme da all die Koelsche Loeck her???

/I said it before and I will say it again: time for a German Fark party...

Fashing > Oktoberfest

Has this been in the que for a long time? WTF it's December

Tad late innit?

The weird thing is that I can handle a Bayrische or an Oesterreichische accent better than Ruhrpott...and I LIVE in Dortmund.

there coulnd't be less wrong with ruhrpott if it tried.

Porn for Thanksgiving?

Drew's got a thing for Woody Harrelson?

...except for the fact that it was celebrated over 100 years before WWII even began. Look up 1810, horse racing, wedding, and Theresienwiese. The festival is nearly 200 years old now. The event just kept on happening because, as you said, it's a good excuse to drink a lot of tasty Bavarian beer. WWI and II were only a couple cases of interruptions. The US didn't really see Oktoberfest until after WWII when German-American groups started celebrating it in the States.

mmm... Bayerische Bier schmeckt mir... Gab mir ein Augustiner.. oder ein Weihenstephan... oder Spaten... Loewen... Hacker-Pschorr...Paulaner...

How about some Schwäbisch?

Sharfe, scharfe:
Hauslie bauen!

/or something

Heineken tastes like skunk piss.

I said it before and I will say it again: time for a German Fark party...

Drew's German dictionary was confiscated by TSA, so he stayed home.

/votes for cologne

Ich bin der spell check?
Ich bin der Chrome Dinette?

Hellz yeah, let's have a German FARK party!

Let's stick to tradition and rally in Nuremberg. Ach, if only Leni Riefenstahl were still alive, she could do the video!

/actually, I'd vote for Cologne, as well, but I don't think we'll get enough people together for this to make sense

Nibbler: votes for cologne

I would say Cologne, too. Go to a place like Fruh and enjoy the atmosphere.

/living in Aachen...

Well, guys, I am in Leuven, Belgium, three hours away by train. I would certainly make the trip to Cologne /Koeln ...

Oktoberfest has been ruined by it's popularity. You're better off cruising around the country until you find some small town having its annual festival.

So, that makes four votes for Cologne. Da simmer dabei, datt is primaaaa!

Anyone else down?

That doesn't make him a bad person!

Oh, c'mon, join in the fun. Just bring Siegfried und Roy over and have them pay the fare.
