They can have it. I always considered the Oktoberfest to be a national embarassment.

Well, you're always welcome to visit Wisconsin. Plenty of Oktober festivals to go around in that state.


In beginning of month we have Apple Festival in Bayfield, WI too. Very laid back fun.

None of my many German cousins would agree with that statement but then none of them is Skybird.

Well, I also do not like Currywurst or Sauerkraut, cars or most of Beethoven.

Every Golden Retriever is a dog, but not every dog a Retriever.

Some people are extroverted, some are not. Some of those being extroverted like big upfilling events with noise and crowds and lots of puke around the corner. Others do not.

Its a cliche that all Germans like the Oktoberfest. Some do, others don't, and other just dont care.

Is that really a surprise?

The one where Jürgen Prochnows character said: "I start to feel all cooped up in these U-Boats. I had a bad experience once."


I about bust a gut laughing the first time I heard it.

My response was not to criticize you. You are the first German I know who dislike this Oktoberfest and it was interesting.
