Oktoberfest 2008 random snippets

My sister-in-law (green embroidered capris, pink checked shirt, mullet) was almost denied access to the Ladies' Room at Hochreiter until she pushed her boobs together to prove that she has a rack.

A waitress at Hochreiter told 20 Norwegians to take off their silly hats - and they did.

Guys are more flustered than pleased when a woman suddenly sits on their lap.

And their mixed grill for two was fabulous:

An hour or so and the first TTers will be back from the Weis'n.
Tales of daring do, porno dirndls and all the whatnot beery leeriness more than welcome.

I know I am waiting for a certain TTer to post pics of her [s]Dirndyl[/s] beer.

Ahhh yes,,, I will be in Der Schottenhamel in approximately 50 hours.

Turned up as the only person in Bavaria wearing a red shirt with lederhosen (apparently that's just wrong, now I know better), got the last free seats in the Schottenhamel beer garden just in time for the Big Moment, our neighbour was a Munchnerin who knew the bediener so we got almost the first beer, our bediener was also a priest (apparently he's famous).

Got cold. A friend of my girlfriends met a work collegue who had a friend who had an old school mate who knew some guy dressed as a pirate who got us all tickets for a tent! Then the usual drinking and swaying and pretending to know the words and figuring out how to go to the toilet in lederhosen when you're desperate...

A good day, very flukey.

Ravi ate more than I did and I'm still stuffed some 22 hours later. But damn it was good!

woof.

Before you use the Men's Room at the Wiesn, practice rebuttoning your Lederhosen. Such practice sessions must be staged while drunk to accustom yourself to the real life situation.

I decided to have a look round yesterday, didn't expect to find a seat, but was pleasantly surprised to get one in the Ammer tents beer garden, sat with a couple of Australian women and the Bavarian uncle of one of them. Just had the one beer as I had to drive later and I don't believe the Bavarian police hold the same views on drinking and driving as Herr Beckstein! However it was a pleasant enough way to spend a hour or so.

This ride looked pretty scary, although there was no shortage of people queuing up for it!

It is great:) Nice views from up there, just dress warm because it is freezing!

I marched in the Oktoberfest parade this morning. Great time. But also some sadness thinking that I won't be here this time next year. *sniff*

thefirelane + table + 9 Dirndl clad girlies = win

Agreed, I think I went on that ride two years ago, it was fun! And the view is amazing.

He reported in this afternoon, he's hungry again ...

I love a parade. First Sunday is awesome because all the bands that march in the parade have tables booked in the tents and when the tent band is on a break, the other bands play. And the Filet in the Ochsenbraterei is still the best steak in Munich.
