It’s still “Oktober,” according to the German lunar calendar. Hooray! At one “Oktoberfest,” the Teutonic Gods are giving away ancient beer tickets, and all you have do to is dress like a German. It’s so easy — actual Germans do it all the time! Just make sure if you go retro and dress as a Nazi you know what you’re getting yourself into! (It’s Poland.)

In Germany, there are not only infantry re-enactors, there are also SS re-enactors. A pair of Germans in SS officer uniforms was seen driving a vintage motorcycle and sidecar during the D-Day anniversary. I believe they were made unwelcome.
So, if you wear squished square glasses with half-inch-tall lenses, you get in free?
How about a Sargeant Schultz look-alike contest?
Heil Hamburger Hamlet!
Sorry, I’m too old for perverse sexual favors and it’s basically a buyer’s market.
Here in Tucson, AZ (the part of the state that did NOT vote for John McCain.. for ANYTHING) we have our Tucson Meet Yourself. Find out how many different ways one can send your cholesterol through the roof!
Never before today did I realize “Caps Lock” was an anagram of “cock slap.” Thank you, Wonkette, for reminding me in the midst of my dyslexia how fundamentally important it is to read carefully, especially when reading out loud to your desk-neighbor.
The Antiques are great. Like a trippier, gloomier R.E.M. Beautiful guitars and faraway vocals.
