oktoberfest: a whale of a tail
so this was my first official oktoberfest… acknowledging the fall harvest. sure, i’ll acknowledge you. your fall harvest, your delicious beers. i’ll buy a fantasticly hippie-esque scarf and jewelry to support your efforts towards building a better, more holistic world. (and by gawd you are a gorgeous scarf!)
sure. no prob.
you have legit hefeweizen, i’ll be there.
don't worry. magoo has apple juice.
and so, to oktoberfest we went…
we witnessed REAL kettle corn be made and poured into enormous bags for purchase…
NOM NOM NOM
we enjoyed our company.. the locals who came out to partake in the festivities…
and it was at this point in our afternoon when i said “take a picture of this chick’s thong…”
incase you missed the first pic
and paul said “oh… whale tail.”
i said “whuuuuut?” ready to beat his ass for referring to a woman as fat… large… not a size 2.
he said, “no no, like think of the shape of the whale’s tail before it gets ready to dive. ”
“oh, right right!!!” and i got it, i soooooo got it.
i mean, how do you NOT get THAT!?!??!
needless to say… out first family oktoberfest was successful in all ways… hippie purchases were made, many delicious brews were consumed, and we learned the power of the whale tail.
oktoberfest = success
whale-tail whuuut?

Great post ~
Looks like a fun day plus you learned about whale tail.
Kettle corn, beer, whale tail… could you ask for a better day?
Lol…whale tail! I have never heard of that before! Looks like you guys had a good time. I mean really, who can’t have a great time with delicious beer!
I can’t believe your husband told you about the Whale Tail. He will have 30 days to turn in his man card for divulging man secrets.
How is it that I teach high school (and trust me kids LUUUVVV to share all the hip, new shiny phrases, many of which I could have lived without knowing.), and NEVER have heard of “whale tail”.
Thank you bringing enlightenment to the world. I am now a complete human being.
Cheers, Lisa
Your son is sooooocute!!!Y
Thank you for educating me (graphically, I might add) about “whale tail”.
Where are you that it looked that nice outside?!
Our Oktoberfest (in Kitchener-Waterloo) starts this Friday
EWWWWW! That is NOT what I thought you meant! Where I come from, a whale’s tail is a piece of deep fried whole wheat pastry with your choice of toppings (I love cinnamon and sugar, myself). You can only get them once a year at the Winnipeg Folk Festival. (Best music festival ever, IMHO)
And Nic, that pic of Jackson in the sunglasses? If I had a uterus, it would have twitched. Seriously, yo. That is one adorable little munchkin. Snorgles.
So the boy didn’t have to push you in the stroller? That is a reason to celebrate.
PS He is too friggin cute for words.
the fact that one of your categories is ‘weiners’ just made my day.
plus, whale tail.
and that one was definitely a FAIL whale tail.
Hahaha! Love the butt floss!
Looks like a fun day full of education.
Thanks for the early morning whale tail. Best way I can think of to start out a Monday.
That looks like fun. Thanks for the info on the whale tail. I get to see jackson this weekend!!!!!!
GREAT weather for it this weekend, too! Glad you had such a great time!!
Whale Tail! I LOVE it! I’m so gonna have to use that. I absolutely hate seeing that on women, I find it so tack.
Glad you had fun at the Oktober fest. Looks like Magoo enjoyed the kettle corn! Yummmmm
Love the blog! Can’t believe you had the guts to take a pic of someone’s crack! LOL Happy for you & your family, looks like the weather was great.
Looks like fun!
Seriously, do guys really find that sexy?
Where is a pic of this amazing scarf?
I’ve heard whale tail only once before and never will such an accurate visual aid. Also, was it sitting at her waist? I’ve never seen a high-waisted thong before. Looks uncomfortable!
Whale tail? hehehehehe.
Dude that last picture of Magoo makes my ovaries hurt. Gah, he’s just so handsome.
Looks like fun. Magoo, is adorable as always.
these look like so much fun! i love magoo’s hair! and that crack pic..EW.
I love that! Daughter #1 has some friends who tend to have these showing at times. I HATE it. I can’t wait to walk in the room say “whale tail” and walk out, leaving them scratching their heads.
OMG! Whale tail. So hysterical. HA!
I saw your comment at Scary Mommy ( Heart Her!) and I came over to say hi because you sounded so fun! And holy cow! I never knew that nickname before. Brilliant : ) See why blogging is so great? Information sharing at its finest!
PS Your daughter is BEAUTIFUL!
I could eat that entire bag of kettle corn. God, I love that stuff! Looks like a great time, whale tail and all! : )
