weekday hangover...

... and I wonder if my mum's is worse than mine.

a little story about a night at the oktoberfest:

at first we went to stuff ourselves with grilled ducks and lumpy dumplings. this was also where we tanked the first mass beer which about amounts to 2 pints / not-quite-half-a-gallon / 1 litre.

after dinner, we went next-doors to the schottenhammel tent, where the band was already getting the crowds dancing on the banks. it was super crowded (since it's one of the "younger" tents, it always is.. but the music ain't half bad)
we only had to walk around once before susie convinced some guys to move a bit to make some room for us 3 ladies. they were from the bosch intl. crew (as far as I understood they produce car breaks for volvo and fiat etc) and their company had flown them all in... divisions from italy, sweden and some germans from frankfurt. they were all really nice... mint drinking condition ;o)

basically... that was the first time since 1973 the world saw me old mammy dancing on a beerbank...

noone would believe my mum is my mum ("but... you're too young! you look like 40!") which she of course loved hearing. I think they were all just shitfaced and polite. eheheheh

as it usually is... give me some beer to drink and I have to run to the loo constantly. one time, I was just done and about to wash my hands, when I saw this girlie standing next to the sink, checking on her make-up. she had extreme acne and the matching scars on her cheeks but a really lovely dirndl dress with a leopard-print bodice. I complimented her on the dress and said how lovely it is and how nice it looks on her. she was so happy, she hugged me.

I managed to survive the night without a beer-shower, but I got shoved into the table, didn't break any bones nor mass glasses. my shin ain't black or blue yet, so maybe it'll be okay.

apart from that... I think one of the 4 masses I drank was past its sell-by date. my knees feel wobbly and my stomach is a bit weak. though I think it's helped with my toothache... that must be the wonderful healing secret ingrediences of beer plus it's said that alcohol preserves.

I want to thank the schottenhammel tent crew (and especially the band and waiters) and the guys n girls from bosch for a lovely night. cheers!
