miked10270 0 #55 August 11, 2004 Good God!! I turn my back for 2 minutes and you're bickering with the Americans! Again! Remember that they're supposed to be invading Germany... Enticed by the prospect of the foot long hamburgers. Anyway.... While you've been playing among yourselves, my further research has uncovered a problem with the Brits getting to Luxembourg. Belgium!! The People: Belgium is the most densely populated country in Europe, and at the same time fiercely divided on the subjects of language and religion. This means that it is impossible to move anywhere in the country, which is packed with mobs standing chin to chin and screaming incomprehensible insults at one another in the certain knowledge that God is on his side... Whoever he is. The fact that there has not been more bloodshed is entirely due to the fact that there isn't space to swing a fist. Consequently, what the Blegian authorities fear most is cuntraception: If it ever catches on, and the population thins out to the point where rifles may be comfortably unslung from shoulders, the entire nation might disappear overnight The Land: The land is entirely invisible, except in the small hours of the morning, being for the rest of the time completely underfoot. It is therefore no surprise to learn that belgiums largest industries are coal and mineral mining, as underground is the only place there is room to work. Plans have been suggested for reclaiming the land from the sea, on the Dutch pattern, but were always shelved as soon as it was realised that there was neither room for the water that would have to be removed from the sea, nor, alternatively, any spare land to spread to extend the coastline outwards. The History: Belgium has always suffered horribly at the hands of occupying forces, which, given the overcrowding, is only to be expected. The bayoneting of babies by Pussians in WW I, for example, was never intentional; it was simply that it was impossible to walk about with fixed bayonets in such confined spaces without finding something stuck on the end of them! For the same reason, the Sprout was developed by Brussels agronomists, this being the largest cabbage a Belgian housewife could possibly carry through the teeming streets. So, sorry guys, but Luxembourg is kind of out for the moment. Mike. . Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frenchy68 0 #56 August 11, 2004 Alright, fine. Belgium it is. But let's be careful, as Belgium is very slippery. As it was demonstrated in 1914 and again in 1940, the Germans, set on invading such a wonderful country, were not able to hit the brakes in time, and ended up invading the unexpecting, peaceful loving French. Therefore, let us make sure we are well prepared for this endeavor; let the troops wear cleats (old fashion rugby type should do), so as to be able to really dig in once in Belgium. Were we to overlook this slippery issue, we would end up in... yes, you guessed it, LUXEMBOURG (which would lead one to wonder whether the sole purpose of Luxembourg os to collect those overshooting Belgium from the West!). I turn my back for 2 minutes and you're bickering with the Americans! Again!*** Kennedy is not really American, as he claims to be from Alabama. But I shall remain focused from now on...

Mike. PS. We're NOT invading Belgium. Belgium is between us and Luxembourg, and for the reasons given above I refuse to cross Belgium... ESPECIALLY when carrying anything pointy!! .

Frenchy68 0 #58 August 13, 2004 Just trying (hopelessly) to keep this "dead horse" thread alive. If nothing, to make sure my brother Mike did not off himself thinking I went plucking off Belgians on my own (I love Belgians, especially on my mantle).

Frenchy68 0 #60 August 13, 2004 Apologies accepted. You were punished enough by having to date a Belgian.
