Shlocktober

[festusmonroe]

Ah, October! The most malleably-named month of the year. Every day I hear a new vendor declare this lunar cycle “Rocktober.” A car lot here in Jacksonville does it, as did a classic rock station back home, and I know of a beer called Rocktoberfest

come celebrate the ghetto with us at Boondocktoberfest!
come celebrate door-to-door salesmen at Knock, Knocktoberfest!

you know, i'm surprised "wok" joints haven't capitalized on this yet. i've seen "hot wok," "wok and roll," "between a wok and a hard place," "i want a wok," etc... but i've never seen any "woktoberfest" stands set up alongside the other mysterious concession folk at local festivals and such.

man, i was waiting for you to say 'cocktober', but it just didnt happen...

[festusmonroe]

It crossed my mind, but I thought it perhaps might seem juvenile. Not that that's ever stopped me before.

I was hoping I would come up with something clever and funny for the (blank)toberfest Fest, but was horrified to find that I couldn't. So instead, I added you to my friends list. What are you gonna do about it? Detroit! What! Detroit! What!

No, seriously. What? 'Cause at this point I have no damn idea what I'm talking about.

[festusmonroe]

Consider yourself added, though I admit I don't know what the hell you're talking about either. However, that you press on undeterred is commendable. Back in Little League we called that sort of thing "hustle."

Really? Round these part we call that "moxie." Or was it "harrassment?" I can never remember. Good for me, either way.
