Embracing Oktoberfest and the Variable C

This week we welcomed half of the most spectacular non-blood-related extension of the Anderson clan from the delightful state of Oklahoma; however, this full extension goes by a very specific name, do not be befuddled, because non blood relatives esteem a whole other variety of peculiarities than those of our congruent anomalous genes.

But I doubt they'd like me spotlighting their quirks and whimsicality- moving right along!....

Aren't they absolutely darling?

Well, yes, of course, but...

...um, what is this?

Why, that is- oh. Well. That's cute, I suppose. 

Hm.

I can't necessarily explain what is happening here. Are they imitating something? A fish, perhaps? A duck? A moose? A giant squid? A prehistoric jungle creature? Myself?

Nevertheless, this is a glimpse into the mystical, mathematical equation that defines this phenomenon:

A + B = AB

Please hold on to your brain jelly, people- I do not mean to blow your minds with this genius sensation, it is simple, scientific fact here.

Andersons + Burgins = AnderBurgs

This formula can be manipulated by adding the variable C representing crazyfreakingawesomeness, but often times this is misinterpreted as representing the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle, but you will know that the Pythagorean Theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2. I can see, however, how this could be confused with the AnderBurg Theorem:

A^4 + B^4 = C^infinity

...which constitutes all variables described above.

Alas! Math cannot even begin to express the crazyfreakingawesomeness that occurs when the two tribes converge!

There are stormtroopers!

Bagpipes!

Goulash, nudels, red cabbage!

Chicken-dancing!

And oh my lands, the people watching! (Think: little boy carrying a giant inflatable spiderman with only his skivvies on- backwards! Or the lady on stage wearing leather lederhosen--I apologize for no pictures, but imagine, imagine!)

This is a wonderful world we live in folks-- find some crazyfreakingawesome people and soak it up together!

Nutze den tag!

(Tune in two months from now for a Caribbean New Years with the AnderBurgs!)
