TriGirl 277 #1 October 5, 2012 One really awesome thing about this diplomat lifestyle is we get invited to all the cool parties. Next weekend is the Oktoberfest party (two days of them, anyway) at the German embassy here. SO looking forward to it! Last year we raged. This year should be the same, but at least this year I'll be dressed for it. Just bought my new dirndl. This is one traditional dress that actually works for my... um.... body type!

The problem with your reply is that I don't give a shit what you do or don't believe. However, pics will likely be available after the event. Believe what you like, but enjoy the evidence once it's available. (no, I won't subsequently post the pics in Name That Rack, since the costume would totally give it away!!)See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump!

Fearjoburg 0 #4 October 5, 2012 But I care deeply about the truth. Whether or not you care if I believe you or not, society's moral fabric is dependent on people like you, to substantiate your claims.It is also consider bad manners to let the men in this forum wait in agony and distress for 24 hours to investigate the substantiation of you claims.Anyway enjoy the evening!

skymama 35 #5 October 5, 2012 I hope you have a great time at the party! Sounds like it will be an awesome time. If our tax money paid for said costume, I think you owe it to the guys to show them how their money is well spent.

theonlyski 3 #8 October 5, 2012 We got stuck coming home from Iraq on one of my deployments. Seemed that the aircrew found EVERY possible problem with their aircraft and ended up 'breaking down' in Germany. Sure enough, middle of October. We were also advised to not ask what was under the blankets at the forward end of the cargo area. Fuckers coulda shared!Have fun at your party! I'll be waiting for the pictures.

sfzombie 3 #19 October 7, 2012 if you were there, you would be just in time to catch the last day, at least in munchen. it ends on 7 oct. this year. it is the most amazing party i've ever stumbled into, however. a friend and i got on a train to munchen from nurnburg for a weekend one time, just happened to be the opening of oktoberfest. we ended up crashing in a hostel with a bunch of kiwis, fun times indeed...http://kitswv.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davjohns 1 #20 October 7, 2012 I must admit I'm looking forward to the pics myself. I'm next door to Germany. I thought Octoberfest was in September? I was in Germany yesterday and there wasn't anything unusual going on. Oh, and Luxembourg rocks! I hit that as well. I'll be going back.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davjohns 1 #23 October 8, 2012 Nope. Army. I just translated it into English. The first thing they told me when I got here was that Oktoberfest is in September. Sure enough, the local German population staged Oktoberfest here at SHAPE two weeks ago. Clearly, I am confused on the concept. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

EmuuuH 0 #24 October 8, 2012 Actually Oktoberfest starts in september (22 this year) and ends in oktober (7 this year).. And yes! you guys missed a good party!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davjohns 1 #25 October 8, 2012 I just got here at the beginning of September. I'll be prepared next year. Still looking for those pictures, Trigirl. A preview would not be totally unwanted...
