Let me give you a quick timeline of the history of Pliny the Younger. Born in 61 AD. In 79 AD, he watched Mt. Vesuvius
erupt and kill his uncle, Pliny the Elder. Around the year 112, he died. In the year 2009, he became the biggest pain in the ass in the world.

Barring stupid leap years, I’m completely oblivious to my Irish heritage for 364 days a year. For one day a year, I’m completely embarrassed, ashamed, and humiliated by it. I hate St. Patrick’s Day.

Life changes quite a bit when you have offspring, especially if you stick around to raise them. Less room for all of your cool stuff, less money for all of your cool secret stuff, and less time for all of your everything are all direct byproducts of sowing your seed.
Many guys throw in the towel. Not me, I decided I wasn’t going to let some zero year old kid, who can’t even stand up on his own, boss me around. I never thought much of it until dads from all over the land would ask me how I get away with enjoying beverages as much as I do, having children. I decided to throw a couple pointers out there that should help all of you new dads and soon-to-be dads.

The good and bad of Septemberfest.
My favorite things about Oktoberfest :
