Buy a new dirndl.

Joke said...

Start drinking more!! But drink water and green tea also.

Amy said...

Amy sez A. 'cuz she's started already.

B. Oh gawd....my liver is already whining!

scatterlined said...

I feel like somewhere between A & B. I don't want to completely stop, but 1.5 weeks of Oktoberfest-level drinking is all I can handle...

Word Verification: eprep

Does that mean we can do electronic preparation for Oktoberfest?

C. Buy adult diapers to wear at the event in order to minimize social disruptions caused by frequent trips to the WC on behalf of the excessive beer drinking.

C. Are you having sex yet?

Jul said...

Headbang - while I have no objection to the content of your suggestion, I'm afraid I'm not seeing how it will better prepare us for Ofest. Please enlighten.

headbang8 said...

Well, Jul. It can't hurt. Except sometimes.

Jul said...

Bella - good idea. One can never have enough tract.

Joke - Ooo, green tea sounds healthy. Like it might help me to feel less guilty about my liver abuse. Good idea.

Amy - Good job. Keep it up.

Tazz - We'll have to compare your approach with Amy's and see who comes out better. You know, in the interest of science.

Scatter - Your approach sounds like no fun at all.

Yessica - that sounds messy. Perhaps I'll go with a catheter instead.

Headbang - Oktoberfest can hurt sometimes, too.

A and C. Start drinking, but forget the diapers. Just go out and get yourself a few weeks worth of pants-shitting drunk.

C. Try to catch a cold now to build up your immune system. The beer you will survive no problem with or without training. But that damn Oktoberfest flu is hell.

I just had a good laugh reading through the answers ;-) I've never been to a real Oktoberfest. Only those American remakes. But I've heard hilarious stories of these & have to go across the border to witness it for myself one day!

Corregio said...

C Continue drinking. Make a smooth transition from beergarden season to Oktoberfest.

Jul said...

Carey - my liver is, at least.

Anon - the way these answers are going, I'm starting to wonder how I managed to get through last year's fest without soiling myself...

Michelle - I hear you. Last year my head was so stuffed up that it hurt to go on the roller coasters. Can't let that happen again.

A Touch of Dutch - if you love large, drunk, smelly crowds, cheesy music, and warm beer, you'll love Oktoberfest! :)

Corregio - That has been my strategy for most of our time in Munich. If only there were more breaks in between drinking occasions, it might actually be a good idea...
