I just think, what with all the ugliness in the news these days, that it’s important to keep a couple of things in mind:
First, Oktoberfest is in full swing.
Second, there are only 168 days left until St. Patrick’s Day.
There, now: Don’t you just feel better already?
Well, at least
youwe have that going foryouus.Thank you for keeping moi abreast of the holidays. Erin go bra.
It’s been said before on this site but I’ll say it again, “Those are beautiful jugs”.
Lex, I can’t touch the alcohol, but I sure can appreciate the view. I might be a 60 year old man, but I still have 20/20 uncorrected vision.
@Bill C, RE: #3, though I agree with your last sentence, I do believe you would find “quite a handful”.
Grumpy
Three buxom wenches–three steins of beer–surely that’s not too much for a self respecting Naval aviator to handle!
It’s nice to look up and see some nice things in this world. Gets your mind away from your troubles and all.
Third: only 65 and a butt days until Army BEATS Navy…
Having spent 7 years in Deutschland I much appreciate the finer things found in that land but I would caution the uninitiated that the “Owner”s Manual” for the foreign model is twice as thick as the domestic model. And in the long run- the beer won’t help.
Yup feel better!
Bottoms up ! (so to speak….)
geo6 — Ich auch!
ENOUGH…fair warning… the next walled-eyed Gomer who dares to take part in this misogynistic objectification of the female form is going to get an internet bust in the mouth. Best
PS, Lex most happy we’re getting back to basics…that 73 comment never ending five (5) day “Chilling” thread/exercise in flatulent verbosity gave me the hives.
Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you’ll find this commentary on Congress’ leadership style in this crisis both accurate and amusing.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmm…. Beer…….
Beer with women attached…. who knew?
Son leaves for Germany next week. I am so envious of him. I’d tie him up and take his uniforms and orders and show up myself, but I suspect the CSM wouldn’t buy my excuse about aging quickly…….
That, plus I suspect fitting INTO his uniforms would require a great deal more effort than I could muster.
I don’t care how many times you recycle this picture Lex, it never gets old.
Ach du lieber!
And for Snake Eater, one of my other favorites quotes, “Lighten up, Francis.”
No weapons .
Bill, was gonna say the same damn thing; a few automatic weapons would have made this picture perfect
Funny you bring up this picture.
The state of Bavaria, together with the association of the Bavarian savings and loan associations, owns its own bank, named BayenLB. Its main focus is supporting the state, its muncipialities and local business in all kind of banking affairs. For some reasons (which are not well understood by the German public) it engaged in the US subprime market, which cost its owners 4 billion Euros.
Oans, Zwoa, G’Suffa.
Well, yeah, actually, I do feel better. Thanks Lex.
Bill C: You’re wrong. I believe those are called ‘steins.’ Then again, they’re not ceramic and don’t have the little lids, so maybe…
mugs…
would be…
schöne frauen…
HOW DO YOU SAY PLANE TICKET TO THIS PLACE IN GERMAN? WAIT. I’M GOING TO GERMANY… HOW DO YOU SAY PLANE TICKET TO THIS PLACE IN ENGLISH?
The large glass beer container is most properly known as a “Maß” (the ß character is called an “estett” and is a double-s sound). It has a long A sound – “maas.”
It is a liter in volume and holds two bottles of a drink known as VC or Spezi, which mimic a dark beer quite successfully for those of us who do not wish to imbibe but also don’t wish to look out of place.
Oh, and based on my 5 years experience there (one or two O-fests, numerous smaller fests), at least one of those girls, probably the blonde, is named “Andrea.”
It just is. Don’t worry about it.
Ein Prosit, ein Prosit, Der Gemütlichkeit….
I had a good friend in Stuttgart — fellow expat — who knew the GM of Stuttgarter Hofbräu. Stuttgart has a parallel to Munich’s Oktoberfest, called Canstatter Volksfest. They would get us in his private box — great food, no spilled beer from drunks dancing on the skinny folding “fest” tables, so ubiquitious at any German festival. My friend, native Kentuckian, looked out in the assembled masses and said, “If this were the Derby, that would be the infield.”
We used to fly into a German NATO AFB near Munich up the mountain-side named Furstenfeldbruck (“Firsty” to us) which was a short train ride down to Munich. Wx could be a problem there, though, we lost a bird from a sister squadron and both crew at Firsty while I was over there in the UK. Otherwise great town is Munich–in all respects–historical as well as fun times.
Regarding the lady on the right, there’s a line from movie, what is it? Ah yes, from The Princess Bride: “perfect breasts are a rarity.”
You put this pic up two years ago and I called dibs on the one in the middle.
I do not relinquish said dibs. She’s still mine!
Nose
PS Snake- your my boy and all, but sometimes you whine like a mule…
Listen Barry…my man… I’m no ones boy…I was just feeling frisky and had an overwhelming urge to snark….so I did. Best
So why is it no gals have posted in on this one? Except, of course, Michelle, before she realized this was gonna be a…..what was it? “this misogynistic objectification of the female form”
and as for: Beer with women attached…. who knew?
I personally think that the whole practice of identifying and labeling “chick drinks” is men’s way of keeping us OUT of their beer…doesn’t work for this chick!
Anyway, thanks for the laugh–guess I’ll go find a pic of some guys to ogle…Germany, a land where men are men and dare to wear lederhosen (occasionally) and there’s nothing like a well-turned calf! (hmmm, maybe there is!)
Ya know Doorkeeper I was thinking the same thing about the absence of the Lex Babes, so I hereby put up something for us.
There may be no beer, but there are guns.
Hey, doorkeeper, I knew exactky what was coming. Remember, Lex has posted this picture before.
That’s why I figured I would post first and then get out of town before the “misogynistic objectification of the female form” got started. Kind of a hit and run, it was.
let me try again!

So it is possible to drink and work-out simultaneously? Nah, too many distractions.
Die beiden fantastisch sind – nur spektacular!
Scott – Selbsverstandlich! Bad Canstatter Volksfest war sehr gut (was Ich habe nicht vergessen). And Stuttgarter Hofbraue (no really umlauts setup on this PC) is the best (major) beer from Stuttgart – at least in the mid 80s.
Geo6 – I can’t say I feel your pain but there was one night in ’83 I took a test drive behind the Schwaben Brau tent… Fortunately, or sadly – not sure – I only did take test drives of the German models… Ahh, nevermind….
AW1 – Good luck for your son. It is a fantastic country that has much great to offer though some of the volk get their lederhosen in a bunch from time to time. If you get the opportunity, go over for a couple weeks, you’ll be glad you did…
Snake,
I agree with ya on that “chilling” snark…geez Louise. All that air could power T. Boone’s windmill scheme!
My company’s having an “Octoberfest” themed get together soon. I wish we had some lasses like that to tip a few with and peer at. You know. Just because.
