Quite a few German tourists have come to Memphjus, since they heard that Octoberfest is still going on in Periwinkle County. Actually, it's not still going. It only started in February, since the Periwinklians felt October was already too busy.
Randall Nathan came home and told Claire he had an entirely German conversation at The Mills of the Gods Coffee House. This surprised her. He is proud of his language skills, but he does not seek out conversations.
"Won't this lose you points in the Hottie competition?" she asked.
Actually, it's HOTY, Hermudgeon of The Year competition, but she likes to call it "Hottie." [An hermudgeon is a conflation of hermit and curmudgeon, or maybe it's the other way around.]
"I don't think so," he said. "He said, 'Bier hier?' and I pointed at The Whistle and Thistle and said, 'Ya.'"
