DAS BOOT! Will kick your ass!
March 2, 2008
wow holy crap. Das Boot kicked my freakin ass. If you liked the movie Beerfest you gotta read this.
Well, so here is the scenario, my cousin, pinup artist Amanojyaku, is in town from Washington and along with my fiance we decide to go out to south beach for some food and drinks. We head on over to Yummy’s, probably the best chinese place on the beach, over by Alton and Lincoln roads. We kicked off the night with some sushi, sake and some fried rice. Which was excellent btw. The sake had us buzzing real good and we were joking around.
After eating at Yummy’s we headed on over to the theatre to buy tickets for the Spiderwick Chronicles. We still had like 30 mins till the movie started then we headed on over to Finnegans to have some of Ireland’s finest since it was beer day. The Guiness was excellent. Great head and it was so thick you almost felt that you could chew on it. After that we headed on over to the theatre to watch the film.
Now here’s where things get interesting. On the way to the car we were passing this german pub and we see 4 guys sitting at a table with… Das Boot! And of course my cousin and me are like we gotta have one. So after handing my fiance my car keys we sit down to order 1 each.
Now let me tell you about Das Boot. The Stiefel as it’s called in german, is 2 liters of beer. And it is pure evil! lol.
So after sitting down the waiter comes on by in his lederhosen and we ask him about getting a Stiefel and which beers are the best. The waiter was a good guy and brought over 4 of the different german beers to try. After tasting them all we settle on the oktoberfest beer. It’s quite good with a pleasent after taste with no bitterness.
So now that we actually have our Stiefels the drinking ensues. Wow. That was some damn strong beer.
Now I’ve drank my fair share of beers. But I have to say that without a doubt that drinking from the Stiefel is a bit intimidating. I mean 2 liters of beer in one had is alot and it’s pretty heavy. You could get a workout just from picking that thing up and drinking from it. Anyways we sat around the place for about an hour drinking. And boy did we get hammered. Not only was it like trying to drink a 6 pack of beer in an hour. But we had people walking on lincoln road comming up to us to stare at our giant boots of beer. It was funny that we even had some german guy come up to us and tell us how he used to get together with his friends in germany do drink from Stiefels. He told us the trick to drinking from das stiefel was that you had to give the boot a turn when you got to the bottom. Otherwise you’d get a nice big splash of beer all over you. He also told us that sometimes they would get together and drink from one stiefel. And that whoever drank the last of the beer from the stiefel would have to pay for it. lol.
So after about drinking half of this thing we both are pretty wasted. We were cracking jokes and slurring words. When people walked by and noticed our beer I was yelling out, “hey! you guysh have to try one of theesh!” lol.
My cousin was able to finish his. But I couldn’t handle drinking 2 liters of beer in an hour. It was just way too much. My fiance was laughing like mad a us because we were so drunk.
Finally the place closed and we had to leave. We walked around for a little while
My cousin was accosted by the penguin and had to teach it a lesson. He also got pissed off at a smoking station. But I don’t have pictures of that.
After math.
Well while drinking from Das Boot was cool. The after effects weren’t. After getting home the room started to spin and I had to head on over to the bath room to puke up 2 liters of beer. Or at least it felt like to liters of beer. Let me tell you that wasn’t fun at all. I puked so hard I even poped a blood vessel in my eye. And I had the worst headache in the morning. I didn’t get bed out of till like noon. It sucked.
My cousin however had it a little worse. He told me he got home and went into the bathroom and fell asleep. He told me that he woke up in a puddle of his own puke. He said it was pretty bad. And I can imagine after my own night of horrors.
The next day
I went to spencers to pick up a present for my cousin, his birthday is next weekend. Of course I went out and got him his very own Stiefel. 2 liters of course. I hope he likes it. 
Der Stiefel hat meinen Esel getreten!
