Countdown to Beer2OSH 2011!
Phenomenal Pictures of Old
Beer Trucks
Beer2OSH is designed to enhance the
camaraderie and liquid libations enjoyed at the infamous annual
Beech Lister
Margarita Party that is sponsored by Kevin O. after the
B2OSH Formation arrival at OSH.
This event encourages the
sharing of exotic and "full
strength" Beers (not to be confused with any Beer using the word "Light") from
your part of the world, to be shared, bartered or traded with others at the
Beer2OSH party. Bringing at least a 12-pack of your favorite
"premium/micro-brew/exotic" beer gets you a wristband to participate in the
grilled brats & corn and liquid libations brought by others.
Still confused as to what
qualifies as an exotic and full strength Beer? Click

Don't worry, if you don't have
enough useful load to bring an exotic brew, you can participate in Beer2OSH's
eating and drinking camaraderie by making a modest donation to the "kitty" when
you come through the food line.

just keep drinking? Hey, I'm just wondering!
Our
Tax System Explained in Beer
Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill
for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we
pay our taxes, it would go something like this…
The first four men (the poorest)
would pay nothing
The fifth would pay $1
The sixth would pay $3
The seventh would pay $7
The eighth would pay $12
The ninth would pay $18
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59
So, that’s what they decided to
do.
The ten men drank in the bar
every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until
one day, the owner threw them a curve ball. “Since you are all
such good customers,” he said, “I’m going to reduce the cost
of your daily beer by $20″. Drinks for the ten men would now
cost just $80.
The group still wanted to pay
their bill the way we pay our taxes. So the first four men
were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what
about the other six men ? How could they divide the $20
windfall so that
everyone would get his fair share?
They realized that $20 divided
by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody’s
share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up
being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that
it would be fair to reduce each man’s bill by a higher
percentage the poorer he was, to follow the principle of the
tax system they had been using, and he proceeded to work out
the amounts he suggested that each should now pay.
And so the fifth man, like the
first four, now paid nothing (100% saving).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% saving).
The seventh now paid $5 instead
of $7 (28% saving).
The eighth now paid $9 instead
of $12 (25% saving).
The ninth now paid $14 instead
of $18 (22% saving).
The tenth now paid $49 instead
of $59 (16% saving).
Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four
continued to drink for free. But, once outside the bar, the
men began to compare their savings. “I only got a dollar out
of the $20 saving,” declared the sixth man. He pointed to the
tenth man,”but he got $10!” “Yeah, that’s right,” exclaimed
the fifth man. “I only saved a dollar too. It’s unfair that he
got ten times more benefit than me!” “That’s true!” shouted
the seventh man. “Why should he get $10 back, when I got only
$2? The wealthy get all the breaks!” “Wait a minute,” yelled
the first four men in unison, “we didn’t get anything at all.
This new tax system exploits the poor!” The nine men
surrounded the tenth and beat him up.
The next night the tenth man
didn’t show up for drinks so the nine sat down and had their
beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they
discovered something important. They didn’t have enough money
between all of them for even half of the bill!
And that, boys and girls,
journalists and government ministers, is how our tax system
works. The people who already pay the highest taxes will
naturally get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them
too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not
show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking elsewhere,
where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

At Beer2OSH, one things for sure, everyone's beer is the same price!
So far, we will have a keg of
the infamous
Shiner
Bock donated by the BeechNutz Formation
Flying Group.
Yours truly will be bringing a few cases of Shiner Bock
longnecks hopefully to trade again for a Pacific Northwest Lister's
Alaskan Amber.
We will have our signature beer boiled Wisconsin's famous Usinger Brats
and locally grown corn grilled on the Kevin O. donated monster
grille.
Despite "Sloshkosh" 2010, Beer2OSH served up a record number
of brats on Sunday night, just a little over 200!

IMPORTANT NOTICES:
1. Please keep all your glass bottles within
the confines of the Beer2OSH area and toss them in the trash bins provided. Stay close to the trash cans in our area. Broken glass on the ground can be a FOD hazard to people,
planes and air mattresses. Thanks in
advance for your cooperation.
2. Although, as originally conceived, Beer2OSH
is a "private" gathering of members of the
Beech List, we are a friendly bunch and have agreed to share our party
camaraderie with other Beechcraft owners who have come to experience the annual
OSH pilgrimage. We only ask that you bring a Premium Beer or be prepared to make a small DONATION to the kitty jar at the door (Al
"D Enforcer" DeMxxxx the Texan from New Jersey will be our "doorman") to offset the
party supplies costs! <vbg>
Beer2OSH VIPs

3. If you're planning to attend our Beer2OSH
bash and won't be

DONATION "to the cause" via the PayPal button below.
4. All advance donors of $40 or more by June 30th, will
receive a FREE Beer2OSH
VIP shirt (with embroidered Beer2OSH Logo) that you can wear to the party (Al "The
Enforcer" will also greet you with a smile when you show up empty handed <vbg>).
I'll deliver your shirt to you at OSH before the party to save on shipping
costs. If you won't be able to attend and just want to make a donation, include
your shipping address and I'll ship your shirt to you.
Here is the 2010 embroidered logo
