And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

In Bayern, ist es Zeit für das Oktoberfest
Also warum bin ich in Kalifornien?
Bier schmeckt besser, wenn das Tragen Ihrer Lederhosen!
As a man of Swiss extraction with roots in Bavaria, I can guarantee you that come Oktoberfest, I have not a drinking problem (drink, fall down, no problem). I have no problem with tall, nordic bar maids. However, I draw the line at wearing lederhosen.
Even though I speak passable German, you don't need to speak German to enjoy Oktoberfest. After about two tall biers, everyone is speaking Martian.
Please do. Find out the best beers, then we'll see if we can find any here stateside. Sounds like a great deal for Scratch and Spit, does it not. We may be speaking Klingon to each other the whole time!

Or is that Klingon they're speaking? Remember, when sober they were Germans.
DeleteIt might be Klingon for all I know.
DeleteIn just six days the wife and I will be in Munich and I will drink enough to translate and report back here!!
