Same thing here. We didn't want any more fires. We still had friends over and played games, though. Still a fun day. _________________ Collection |

Bah Humbug I say. Bombs were keeping me up till Midnight.
Seriously though, Drach, dont you DARE dis-illusion our American view of your Oktober Fest. I have ALWAYS wanted to go to Munich and celebrate. The version here is supposed to be small time in comparison. _________________ Will

I had to stop in the middle of a country road in the middle of no where to put out a fire.
There was a bottle rocket laying dead center in the middle of it. Luckily it must've just started before I drove by so it wasn't very large yet. _________________ Multiplayer Champion Gencon11/Battlefest Champion(tied) GenCon10/World Champion GenCon07/National Champion Origins05/Intermediate Champion GenCon02/Novice Champion Origins99 |

After going to Mardi Gras for a couple of years, me and some college friends went to Oktoberfest in Munich. Now that's a PARTY! And it's not just one day either. It goes for 2 weeks.
However, people there told us we really should have come over for Fasching as it was a much more wild party.... _________________ You can never have too many dice.

If you want a real Party, you have to to go to Fasching, at best at Cologne.
And no joke, in Cologne is the baby birth rate 9 months after Fasching the highest in the year... _________________ All gone |

My son Jonathan had fun this past Independence Day, since we were in Florida where fireworks are legal. Nothing spectacular-just some fountains, spinners, and sparklers. You would not believe how many people were shooting off their own fireworks in Titusville, FL, even as the town display was going on. _________________ Steve "DDice" Braun

Yestarday the CEO of our Bavarian Main Office was in our Office and made us an offer:
If we sell enough assurances in the remaining year, he will invite our entire team of 16 people to the Oktober Fest, will rent a box there in one of the big Tents and will pay for all, including Hotel.
So, anyone assurances here?  _________________ All gone |
