    The wheels position. The worst possible side to put your weight on.
    I wonder if Star Disposal uses this as a stock photo.

    It's always been this way since they've been charging admission to the event. Only difference last year was one was 'forced' to pre-purchase the extra food and drinks as part of the event fee. Any way you look at how they bundle (or not bundle) the costs, food and drinks will cost you money. Nothing new here.

    Sometimes I feel the same way you do in my head, then I try for tickets anyway and they always pop up and I buy them. I think it's just tradition now for my friends and I to go.

    It's definitely a $hitshow -- but a $hitshow with some of the best bottle shares on the planet.

    I wonder why the haters even stumble in on this thread, I wouldn't be interested in reading a 25 page thread about something I despised so much...

    In terms of groups, does this get determined on what order you purchase your tickets online? For instance if you were amongst the first to get to checkout for the ticket purchase would you have a group closer to A. Or is this randomized?

    I know the last time I bought tickets ( a few years ago) you picked what group you wanted tickets for. I don't know if that's changed or what

    There was an option for selecting the group you wanted or selecting best available last year.

    Some other favorites:

    This guy from DLD 2007 who bought a six pack of warm Alpha King and drank them until passing out.

    This guy from DLD 2011 getting ready for a DUI.

    Everyone who had to pee on the side of this building because there were no porta-johns outside the gates in 2012.

    1- Kodt should be the official DLD historian if he isn't already
    2- I really hope that is the guy's belt in the photo

    Question on the "Best Available" option: Has anyone ever scored Group A going this route?

    Apparently the guy on the trash can took about a 30 minute nap... he ultimately took the whole thing down when he fell over.

    I wish I had a picture of the guy who fell last year in front of the portapotties and wallowed around in the mud on his back.

    I'm pretty sure @kodt already is the official DLD historian, based on the DLD history thread.

    Just drinking my haterade brotha. Plus this god damn thread pops to the top of great lakes forum every damn day, so I like clicking on the most recent posts to see what direction it is going in. Love me some haterade, especially with fff. They make it easy, you gotta admit.

    Easy to hate FFF? Am I missing something? They have great beer at a great price -- what's not to like?

    Troll So Hard is better than Haterade, just sayin.

    I think maybe he's going more for some of the attitude, practices and reactions FFF has had over certain circumstances in the past. Either way, if it didn't affect me directly, IDGAF. Everyone already knows what kind of stuff I bitch about, and it doesn't stop me from enjoying a well produced, tasty brew.

    Haters really hate when the people/companies they hate on don't give a shit about their whining.

    Was this at the portapotties by the entrance? The tiny slope that led down to them was an great place to watch people take the plunge into the mud while trying to relieve themselves. Also had vanilla on draft for a while making it the most epic people watching spot.
