Celebrating the autumn harvest in south florida when it is 95 degrees is a little tough to handle.

Going to a german event with lots of civilians wearing military uniforms is unnerving, even if you are german. (the civil air patrol did the parking.  Lots of 12-18 year olds in camo.  freaky)

Bag pipes, even when played well, are not pleasing to the ear.

Anyone can do the chicken dance.

German people as a whole are not very attractive compared to say brazilians or italians, but after 4 or 5 boots or lager, it becomes less important.

there are a lot of names for sausage

at any event, there is always at least one girl who will just take it too far, at this event it was a young buxom blond in a tight tutonic corset, fishnet stockings, and knee length black leather stilleto heels paired with a very short frilly Oktoberfest skirt.  However, being it is a family event, she was also there caring for her 85 year old grandma.  The juxtoposition was interesting. 

Carnival ride operators apparently do not have good dental plans.
