4th of a 4th
I was tagged again. This time by Egregious_deviant_zebra.This is that current tagging game going on where you go to the folder where you store pics and find the fourth folder and then select the fourth picture in said folder. Here is what I get:
DAS BOOT!!!!!A long, long time ago in a galaxy far away called New Ulm, a young piano man, who loved Billy Joel and Elton John but hated Kid Rock, was a bartender in the mullet filled wild streets of New Ulm. That piano man got upset with his manager and did all sorts of shenanigans including "borrowing" a few Boots from the establishment. Currently they are missing three Boots and then were later shocked to learn that the fourth Boot was smashed inside the containment unit.
One of those Boots went on to live a fulfilling life. He made guest appearances at all the weddings of a small cadre of Lutheran fanatics. This is from one of those weddings. Here we see Das Boot sitting with The Beer Maker. Das Boot is filled with only the best brews. This particular poison was Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat complete with orange slices.
Das Boot had a few tricks up his sleeve when people unaffiliated with the cadre of Lutheran fanatics begged to sip from his beery goodness. Das Boot needed to have his toe pointed toward your body when you drank of Das Boot. Little did they know that when you didn't point the toe toward your body, you would get a bubble that developed in the toe and Das Boot would regurgitate beer all over their person. It was quite amusing.
Das Boot will be making a guest appearance at the August Schell Brewery in New Ulm, MN on February 21st at the annual Bock Fest which is the equivalent of Madri Gras if Madri Gras was run by Germans who wanted to go running around in the snow looking for bocks and trying to avoid die Jecken while drinking the finest of Schell's beer among the thousands and thousands of people.
Das Boot encourages you to drink more beer and also says, "Tag! You're it!"

I always take your advice, so yes, I will begin a campaign to drink more beer . . . ! Great post.
Cool cup!

My Boot collects dust. I need to get it out and socialize.
@spicyhotcoffee -
I think what is on the inside is cooler.
Funny that both of our most recent blogs mention the game of Tag and foamy liquids.
that is a big cup. makes me want a big ol beer.
@SpongeBobScaredyPants -
I am sort of thirsting for a beer as well but I don't think I could fill that up and drink two liters of beer.
@MelFamy -
Yeah, that is strange how that happens. Although I think your tag story was better and I have to say I enjoy my foam better.
Wow. That's nice.
I don't even like beer, but now I kind of want to drink it just so I can use a vessel like that...
@death_by_chocolat -
I love beer but sometimes I am apprehensive about drinking from Das Boot with germs and all but then I remember that alcohol kills all those pesky little things so I drink up and am happy.
@godfatherofgreenbay -
yeah, that much beer would make a ton of pee pee.
lol Great photo! I'm sure I would have held it in a wrong way too.
@nattata -
I learned the hard way. I think a few of us in my cadre of Lutheran fanatics learned the hard way. I had a classmate in college that wore a prosthetic leg and they used one of his old legs as a boot but everyone got sick and that was the last time they used it.
I can't remember which German beer company is advertised on the glass. I think it is the one with the monk. I'll have to go look at my Boot.
@godfatherofgreenbay - Humm, Franziskaner?
@nattata -
It was Paulaner.
@godfatherofgreenbay - Ah.
@nattata -
I have come to love beer and there is a bar near me that has a list of 75 different beers from all over the world. They have many German beers. So do you have a favorite?
@godfatherofgreenbay - How many of the 75 have you tried? I don't drink beer. The only one I'd drink (if I had no other choice) is "Becks ice". It tastes like mint and lemon and not much like beer. Do you know it? http://www.mybasti.de/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/becks-ice.jpg
@nattata -
Well, I have tried all of them. They give you a card and check off each beer that you have. For 25 beers, they give you a free meal. When you drink 50 beers you get a free t-shirt and then with all 75 beers you get a sweatshirt.
I have never heard of Becks Ice but I think I am going to look for it. It sort of sounds like Smirnoff Ice.
@godfatherofgreenbay - Yes, it goes a little bit into that direction but it has got less alcohol.
