 Kwyjibo   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Scotchtoberfest was a fake Scottish festival which featured in a Simpsons episode.
Since its appearance, some Scots have made Scotchtoberfest into a real festival, held on the third Friday of every October.For most people who celebrate it, it is simply "a celebration of all things Scottish".
It is obviously a pun on the bavarian Oktoberfest.

 OAFE - Kilt Willie review
From the "centuries-old" May 10th tradition of Whacking Day to the "Do As We Say" festival started by German settlers in 1946, Springfield is a town that loves its civic celebrations.
One of these little-known, highly specific holidays is that celebration of Scots heritage, Scotchtoberfest, a chance for the citizens of Springfield to broaden their horizons and learn things such as the fact that the kilt was only for day-to-day wear; in battle, Scotsmen donned a full-length ballgown covered in sequins.
Scotchtoberfest may have been a fake holiday, but Kilt Willie is real good.

Intended as a homage to the great tradition of the German Bier Festival, residents and townfolk take the whole Scotchtoberfest very seriously.
There are a total of fourteen Beer Tents in the Cornton during Scotchtoberfest and each one takes its name from the original streets of the Cornton.
Classic Scottish beers are on tap in every beer tent and at prices which are an outrageous explotation of the gullible Scotchtoberfest Tourists, who can complain.

I hate to interject, but Scotchtoberfest should be a 3 day event, Starting at approx 10:00 AM on the third Friday of every October and ending at 4:00 PM the following Sunday.
Saturday night should be celebrated in a way of the sharing of stories, telling of jokes, imbibing of various drinks that are passed around (including non-alcholic ones for those that don't drink), and the singing of songs and playing of drums.

Scotch is a dual purpose liquid, not only can it act as a water replacement in certain low-water diets, but it can function as a mind altering drug!
It also, of course, forms the liquor of choice during Scotchtoberfest (there is no Scotchtoberfest).
So who are you to determine these ratings?
