Himmelfahrt
May. 26th, 2006 02:34 pmВчера был празник вознесения... Вот зарисовка о том, как он может происходить в Германии.
"Traditionally, this holiday is celebrated as 'men's day' here,
which means that, being male, you should organize a few other male representatives of the human species, several cases of beer, a small cart for transporting them, and leave for a walk in the woods. Walking is not really essential, but an enormous supply of alcohol is. Consequently, in the morning, around 11 o'clock, a group of maybe 10 male representatives of the human species, aged maybe between 18 and 22, stopped with a small cart carrying three cases of Wolters beer in front of the house, probably because they found some shelterthere against the rain under one of the big trees. They carried a funnel connected to a plastic tube where they constantly poured beer, shouted and produced other noises that they probably would have liked to call singing. Everybody had to drink form the plastic tube constantly delivering fresh beer. The wholething lasted for about 15 minutes, then they moved on to the next tree in front of the next house. They were not really serious about walking, but they were dead serious about drinking.
Before they left, one of them puked on the boardwalk. Also they left an empty beer bottle in the hedge.
