Hmmm... I was under the impression that most German Oktoberfest festivals happened in late September.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

We should have a contest. Post pictures of the hotest Oktoberfest beer chick we see.

I'm 110% in! And if it's an "official" competition my wife won't object. haha

Go in an even-numbered group.

Go early, to avoid disappointment. (As in, before noon.)

WAIT till the woman brings beer to the table. (And don't mess with her, she's stronger than you.)

Don't poke fun at large men in Lederhosen.

Do not try to break up the married-women fights.

Do not break into a chant of Eng -el - land Eng -el-land Eng-ge-laaaaaaaaaaand

Don't eat the sausages from the sausage stalls. They are crap.

Don't go on the rides after 8 litres of beer and the crappy sausages.

Do not go into the boxing tent after 8 litres of beer and the crappy sausages. The polish pros are even stronger than the beer women.

Do not attempt to pick up a chick in a dirndl. Not going to happen.

Bang beer mug on table when the others do.

Sing the English words to the songs. No one cares anyway. (For example: "And it's no nay never, (bang beer mug four times) no nay never no morrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre, shall I play the wild rover, no nay never, no more.")

Stay away from Lowenbrau, and especially Hofbrau above all. Their beer is crappier than the crap sausages, and no-one from Munich drinks that crap anyway. Try to get in at the Augustiner tent if you can.

Have someone in your even-numbered group hold your seat when you go to the can. (Actually, an enormous trough. Close your eyes and think of England.)

Don't talk about the war.

Any hope of getting a table in a tent from 4:30PM onward means you must have a reservation.  Having said that, get there early in the afternoon or late morning and find a spot in a good tent.  I like the Paulaner and Augustiner tents.  Really well decorated, good fest beer, good bands (at night), and hot waitresses in Drndils;)

Tips are always 1 Euro.  If you don't tip, she won't come back often.

Unlike Stuttgart's Volksfest, Oktoberfest draws people from all over the world.  Subsequently, many get that 6.5% beer in them and think they have a ticket to act like a butt.  I saw several people puking, starting fights, and generally not acting like they have any home training.

Have fun!  Use the SBahn.

(Because I got the lyrics wrong, but no-one cares anyway.)

I noticed as I was singing along......


Just because:

Quote
've been a wild rover for many's the year
I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
And I never will play the wild rover no more

And it's No, Nay, never,
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover,
No never no more

I went in to an alehouse I used to frequent
And I told the landlady me money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me nay
Such a customer as you I can have any day

And it's No, Nay, never,
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover,
No never no more

I took up from my pocket, ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She says "I have whiskeys and wines of the best
And the words that you told me were only in jest"

And it's No, Nay, never,
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover,
No never no more

I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And, when they've caressed me as oft times before
I never will play the wild rover no more

And it's No, Nay, never,
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover,
No never no more
