More to come, but this is one I wanted y’all to see, our protector “Bob”, helping himself to a little bit of Oktoberfest cheer! [![](https://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/Drummerboy49/005-1.jpg) ](https://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/Drummerboy49/005-1.jpg) Thanks, Quasi ---

Good to see Bob’s getting oiled in his armour, **Quas** i! Does he use a straw to stop the beer having a metallic taste, or has he had the ‘tooth enamel talk’ from his dentist? ---

Does he use a straw to stop the beer having a metallic taste, or has he had the ‘tooth enamel talk’ from his dentist? Well, since he did security for us that night, he wasn’t able to drink with us, so when we finally invited him, he used the straw to “catch up”, **6**!;)😃 Thanks Q ---

Sorry I’m late, but do you mean that guy with no arms and legs on the Cartoon Network? There was also National Lampoon’s cartoon guy - what was he called?- I forget, but he always had a hankie and smoked a pipe. God, I miss the National Lampoon! Don’t y’all? Thanks Q ---

I read that this year, a liter of beer at the Munich Oktoberfest went for 9 Euros! That is about $12 a mug?! Geez, for that price, it would actually be cheaper for Bob to be drinking his oil.
