Training

Much has been written in this blog about our successes, but little attention has been given to the training involved to acheive this success. Therefore, this post is set to remind folks that the Oktoberfest trip is serious business. I mean it! Extensive training has to begin in order to survive our 4 days in Munchen. Sipping on Miller lite does not prepare oneself for the onslaught of hoppy goodness you will receive in the Fatherland.

In that light, Private Hops and I sampled some good brew at a local microbrewery today. It was Lightning Brewery Smoked Porter. YUM!!! I expect to see similar posts from our participants; please show evidence of your preparation steps. This will help the novitiates in their journey to Munich.

What's wrong with Santa's Butt?

It has been learned that the state of Maine, once a defender of the Constitution, is now banning Santa's Butt as it was deemed that it may be "Appealling to children". That's just sick. Who would ever think Santa's butt would appeal to children?

Are the Maine authorities so hung up on fear of prurient interest generation, that they have banned Santa's Butt? Thankfully, the Maine Civil Liberties Union is taking up the cause to protect our freedoms.

Nice in November

Last weekend was a great experience to be with a major part of the Oktober festians in Nice - Cote d'Azur. Einfahrt, Jane, Jack, Schlumberger Lady, Barbus, Candy and of course the aspirant member young lady M. enjoyed five wonderfull days. Food, drinks (champaign & wine) were superb. So were the wheather, views etc.

Do we really want to visit Amsterdam?

What is happening? Inquiring minds want to know. Apparently the government is cracking down on the Red Light District, and even closing down up to 1/3 of the fine entertainment establishments. Read about it here...

Barbus.... Help us out here old friend !
