It already is ruined anyways. The character of the Oktoberfest has changed drastically over the years and has gone away from being just some kind of fair to be a pure drinking gig.

(here in 1925, the shack in the bag advertises freak shows like "the girl with the bird head")

If you want something more traditional (for whatever reason) you go to a harvest festival in a more rural area.
The one in Munich now is just another Mallorca... (if you don't know what that's supposed to mean google "ballermann"). At least it's in Germany and not pestering the people in Spain.

Why people are complaining is because it isn't a family event any more, but I think that stopped to be the case back in the 80s and 90s. Now it's kind of an adult dress-up Disneyland with beer.

When I attended in Munich during the early 90s, it was 'kind of' family oriented during the day, and Mardi Gras crazy in the evening.
Not so much in 2011, lol.

Wait, Germans don't dress slutty? News to me (Heidi Klum)?
I don't know if you want to base a country's attire on celebrities... what should we go by then to know what US girls are like? Miley Cyrus?

Two cups of Deathwish in, and I can smell colors. Trying to decide if it’s tank day, or juice day. I really should use up more of the juice I’ve got first I guess. I always seem to want the one I’m out of.

And, today is my baby girl’s 29th birthday! Time flies... We were going to go out, but she’s not feeling well. Hope to see her this weekend for my mom’s 88th Birthday. What do you get for an 88 year old? Lol

Next time try Black Rifle Coffee.
Good stuff and it's worth it for the videos alone.

Miley Cyrus?

I have to admit Miley Cyrus is "special." LOL I was so relieved when my son told me he would not "bang her." Although, IDK Heidi Klum is sort of infinitely better than Miley Cyrus so whatever happens to costumes at Octoberfest, Germany can retain its (comparative) dignity to the US.

Oh, so happy to be home with instructions to "rest" and also abx but only to take if things turn for the worse. New provider (competent, always good to have one to add to the pile until every patient finds out) was like, "You seem fine, your pulse has dropped 20 points (I was shocked about that, my pulse usually hovers somewhere around 100-110, even I found it a bit alarming honestly) but now it's 80. IDK. Maybe smoking? but also said, "you seem sort of generally sick, so go rest for two days, and then if you don't feel better, what is today, Wednesday? Okay well.... I'm going to give y you these antibiotics if you don't feel better by Saturday, take them."

I love docs who assume you will listen and follow directions and not make you follow up in the Urgent Care which I HATE with the LIGHT and the PASSION of a THOUSAND SUNS, and then to call back on Monday if life still sucked, and I'd have to go get an X-ray. Also, could take a history (rare these days) and asked pointed questions and told me my lungs were "clear," which I have not heard in well, a long time and I sorta felt like a Scientology "devotee" reaching that status.

Pdoc was fine, he started small talk but I firmly made him write me out ALL my scripts and then talked to him. Neither he or the secretary were jerks about stuff, although I did apologize I do tend to find that to be a useful skill from time to time.

So, I'M SORRY GERMANS. LOL.
