Apologies for the recent lack of updatage! Work has been really nuts the last few days, and it has really tired me out! So here's a brief summary of the last week or so....In pictures!

::::Last weekend I went to Oktoberfest with some friends. It was alot of fun, and much beer and brats were consumed. The two guys in the picture below were some highschoolers we met there and they were quite the ladies men as you can see.



After Oktoberfest, we decided to hit up a local bar called Slam Jams. Sounds classy, huh? Our senses were violated with the ear bleeding sounds of hip hop and top 40 pop music. While sitting at the bar we noted that half the tv's were set to BET while the others were set to the history channel doing a black and white special on the Holocaust. The irony was apparently lost on everyone but us.

::::The other day I was in kroger when I saw these in the international foods section:


And here's some other chips I found at big lots:



Some crazy bar bathroom graffiti:



And a sign I saw at the bank:


That's all I have for now. There are other pictures on flickr, if you're bored and want to look at them.

I'm with nails on this. Isn't it a bit early?

Though, any excuse to get drunk...

Chicken flavoured baby crispies. YUM!

'Excalibur Bail Bonds,' brought to you by the team behind 'Ye Olde Sir Lancelot's Quicke Cash Advances' and 'Lady of the Lake Topless Bar'!

But yeah, can't you just have Augustfest *in addition* to Oktoberfest?

Gotta say I'm with nails and phishez - Oktoberfest.... in August? I mean, I've heard of Christmas in July... but come on - there's only a month between August and Oktober...

Nails-That's what we thought, but hey any excuse to watch people dance around in lederhosen while drunk.....

Phishez-Yeah, I couldn't stop laughing because that's seemed to be what the packaging was indicative of.

Mark-Lol! It would be interesting to go to such a bar. Would it be like a naughty medievel times?

Misse-I guess they just couldn't wait that long. The highschool kids were hilarious, somehow the words "I go to highschool right down the street", just doesn't help when picking up the ladies.

Stiletto-Yeah, any chances of either of them ever running for office are forever ruined now.

1. "a naughty medieval times" lol.

2. Jeez, our Australian blogmates sure jumped all over the Oktoberfest in August thing. Are you guys part of some month name regulatory committee? ;)

Personally I'm waiting for somebody to have a Febtoberfest.

3. "I go to highschool right down the street." Worst pick up line ever.

We Aussies have a [sic] sense of humour. We're just hics from the stics.

Besides, as anyone would know from American show The Simpsons, in addition to Oktoberfest being celebrated in August, Americans have an additional autumnal month called Smarch.

Lousy Smarch weather!

I can deal with the Oktoberfest in August, but the "I go to high school down the street" line is bad. That is like me going up to a girl in a bar and telling her where I work.

Timt-Smarch! Lol. I quite like Aussie humor myself. :)

Steve-Hey, it could be worse. At least you don't live in your mom's basement or have a suit made of human skins.

Yes, we Antipodeans are mighty strict on the correct nameage of months and their associated "fun". It comes from being founded by criminals. Gets mighty confusing to plot crime if people start using the wrong names for months...

Crook1: So we'll move just after the Oktoberfest has really kicked off, okay?
Crook2: Wait... do you mean the October Oktoberfest or the August Oktoberfest? Coz, you know, my sister went to the latter last year and she said it was great and she got one of those really cool stei *Smack* OWWWW! Whatcha do that for?


etc etc.... sorry - home sick... ran out of creative.
