Heh. I thought you were saying something about SL dsl connections. I have no idea what the "SL" would've meant, but it sounded like super duper infinity fast dsl technology was being introduced.
Imagine my surprise when I clicked on the link and saw hot young Germans posing in the sun.

By "beer-proof," do they mean before or after the beer has been "filtered"?

But it's not even Oktober! How is this even relevant to the Munchen Bierfest yet??!!

I don't understand.

This post is as thin as the male model in the article.

On Saturday, September 19th, the Schottenhamel tent is the place to be, if you want to catch the official opening ceremonies.

No beer-proof dirndl?

And also a great fashion statement at the beach, for those of us still in warmer climes.

Sorry there's no single youtube link; that would've made it 273% less weak.

I thought part of the charm of lederhosen was getting them all comfortably stained and greasy and stuff.

Without the suspenders, those are just too-fancy shorts.

Pro tip:

If you leave booking flights from the UK to Munich too late, so that they're exorbitantly expensive on the budget airlines, fly to Friedrichshafen instead and take the train! No one ever goes to Friedrichshafen, so prices remain low. The train journey takes hours, but it's still cheaper.

Only if the stain is light and you're in the company of a lobster.

Well done.

My Mom taught me that one, uncleozzy. She was of the Hanover branch of the Happen-Stanz family. Her brother Matt was also a great joker. Weird shit happened to him all the time, I tell you.

Wow, it was hard to find the Lederhosen Song on YouTube.

I'm referring above, of course, to the Northern Irish travelling cobblers who went by their trade name.

And, for the avoidance of doubt, they are no relation at all to the leather workers who make that fine Bavarian garment referenced in this now irretrievably derailed post.

Nick Verstayne, those posts are a little eponysterical. Or eponymasic. Oder etwas.

I'm really on the fence about Austria. Because, on the one hand: the dirndl. But then on the other, you know, Hitler.

In conclusion, Austria is a land of contradictions.

I *just* got the "Nick Verstayne" joke. I always thought it was a real name (and a quite interesting last name at that). Ich bin ein Dummkopf.

Well. Now that my cover is blown, my real name is Neil Isagam.

But can't we have a reference to Denholm Elliott in Trading Places correcting Carrie Fisher for being Swedish yet wearing Lederhosen? Let's keep this on track, people!

Hey Nick, you're beating a dead horse, mate.

The leather of which, had it not been for this post, would have been made into more lederhosen.

What they really need is lederhosen that will recapture spilled beer for consumption.
