For the record, those bastards are just acting crazy and stupid, and many countries - including the USA - do that WAY better than Holland. Femke, on the other hand, puts all Dutch people to unmitigated and unrestrained SHAME by being involved with such a scandalous photo. That said, WHAT THE HELL IS...

Dream, boys and girls. Dream of the fairies in the land of sugar-pop-licorice-bunnies. Dream of the cream fountains in the valley of caramel. Dream of coconut-pineapple mountains and chocolate rivers with sausage-pancake sandbars and rolling boulders of Danish danishes. Dream of mapley-syrupy-rain f...

Haha! Yeah, Chris, when she did that she really irked me too. I think the only thing that was part of the plan was to get the highest-ranking Female available who would agree to run with McCain, and just put her ass on the ballot lickety split. She IS a dumb bitch, that's a very accurate definition....

* Yeah, we can't beat Russia except that we're mostly NOT a frozen wasteland, as Jetset points out, and of course we're mostly inhabited . * We DO have the entire continent. We just lease out the areas with extreme temperatures because governing them bores us. Obviously. * Stereotypes regarding guns...

Yeah, whatever people call Wikings. Norwegian sounds so modern, though, what word for Viking can I use that makes them old-timey Wikings but with an N? Norseman rhymes too much with horseman. Crazy Norse Guys? Noernhalberstoordækmen? ...Hats? And I WAS going to tell you that you can't make fun of an...

Well considering the British haven't done a jot for the English language since Dickens, if my Random House says it's plow, it's fucking P-L-O-W. You can invent the thing all you want, if you don't take care of it somebody else will you limey bastards! My tits up scenario would be if there were no ti...

"Our job, as always as writers, is to create bar fights and arguments, not to solve problems or to answer questions." All I can say, kid, is that I'm glad you were so incited. My opinion is that there's absolutely nothing I've said there that was fundamentally flawed - quite the contrary - but the ...

Yep, German Efficiency's the one. If I had to guess, I'd say it comes from the way Germans speak, their stereotypical body language, the cars, and of course yes, the famous production standards. "German Engineering" is a common selling point over here - it's in ads for all kinds of things. Rarely he...

It's a GERMAN stereotype. Like you have no sense of humor and drink vast quantities of beer and like David Hasselhoff. Clearly. Hey at least you HAVE stereotypes - look at Jonas. I couldn't think of an actual Danish stereotype if you put a gun to my head. I've had to completely make them up! Oh my g...

Yes, entertainment $$$ is essentially inverse to how well the rest of the economy is doing. Can't afford rent? Go to a movie. Can't afford a car? Walk to the nearest strip joint and put some paper between G-strings and thighs. Can't buy food? Get a whore. "Gone With The Wind" and "Snow White" are ST...

Fox: Nah, wasn't making an analogy either, just observing a cultural trend. Economics and politics are points of discussion for the youth culture of today, and that reminds me of how often we talked about movies in the 90s. Yesterday we were talking about fruit, now it's turnips. Wow, funny that. Ge...

Actually, Fox, I wasn't even making a comparison. In the 90s the phrase "...everyone's a critic!" was said so much it got annoying and people started to say it less. (Just like "Not!" - anyone remember that one?) It seems like today we talk about politics and the economy in the same way and just as ...

Kids... Times like these remind me of the mid 90s, when everyone was a movie critic. Now everyone's an armchair politician and economist, while no one actually knows a damned thing about any of the subjects. The best is reading a "discussion" on NYT or WPost for politics or MarketWatch for the econo...
