The men in the white suits have one this one.

Be American, buy America!

Though that isn't an option with absinthe, yet. 21210-7.gif

$129.11 for a bottle of Jade. That's with the three ship for the price of one deal.

Don't travel to Europe and try not to buy their products.

I'm not sending another dime over there if I can help it.

Meanwhile, I'll be here in my trailer park, drinking a budweiser and waiting for the end of days.

Jesus, can you hear me now?
Crosby
How can you doubt it when G. W. Bush says the economy is strong:
Crosby
That works out to 0.658655 EUR.
Crosby
Or, 0.503445 GBP.
DrinkSlinger
Odd you should mention that.
I just learned of my father's deep seated resentment for the French. I almost laughed as he fumingly spat out a list of reasons the French suck.
It was very unlike my father.

Maybe there's something to this...

Crosby
Papa knows best.
GreyBoy2
I don't blame them.

We got the leadership we voted for,
look inward first and ask why are we so fucked up.

That LL Island is looking better by the day.

Grouchy Cros'?
Means you're not coming for Boveresse?
Fucker.
Sad.
Crosby
Look at the bright side, at least you don't have to learn German as a primary language.

You voted for them? I know I didn't.

The latsest crop of morons isn't going to fix it either. The die was cast long ago and it has nothing to do with what's best for the common folks.

The dollar touched a record low after Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke told Congress on Feb. 28 that the decline is helping to narrow the trade deficit. A day earlier, Bundesbank President Axel Weber pushed the euro higher after saying traders should shelve bets on rate cuts.

Good point.

The dollar has to work twice as hard to get the same thing the Euro does,
fortunately, it can.

Come to Boveresse.

For your info, not part of the eurozone, but from the 13th of June onwards host to eurofuckers for you to spank at will when they irritate you.

And you get to laugh at them at the rather provincial disco party on Saturday where the eurofuckers will generally be making a fool of themselves - and yes, you can even make bunny cry.

If you're feeling grumpy about your country, you'll also find a kindred spirit in Hellbitch. We'll try to stay well clear of you two grumpy old gentlemen but fail miserably - the Val de Travers ain't big enough.

Guess I'm the odd man out. I just dropped a nauseatingly large chunk of change on non-refundable r/t tickets to the UK, with the plan to beg/borrow/steal a motor-sickle and ride to Normandy for D-Day (have snorkle, will travel).


The exchange rate is making this grandiose scheme of mine a financial nightmare.



I'm still goin'.


absinthist
For sum Euro is good, fer sum definitely not. We are about to adopt it in 2 years' time. In bigger cities the prices are already presented in both currencies; for sum it is confusin' and irritatin' in a sense. Future, if it cums, shall tell.

However, at the very moment, Poland is not ready to accept Euro that easily and s moothly and people demand referendum in that case.
Helfrich
What Sixer said. Come to Boveresse, Cros.
G&C
Come to Seattle, Cros.

I've got nothing against EuroFuckyLand but the exchange rate will keep me drinking domestic.
Kirk
That domestic is some wild xit.

Between the exchange rate and time off of work, it's looking like a grate deal.

If'n any of you are ever in SF, I'll help you trash WBT's place.

Come to Seattle, Cros.

End of the month work for you?

I just got out of lock-up tonight. I made the end of march/ early April part of my parole. That, and I'm taking the boss "target shooting" this cumming week.
G&C
Of course.

We'll talk...
Kirk
He was with you all weekend.

US Military Reject Boeing for Airbus
US Aircraft manufacturers, Boeing say they are waiting for an explanation from the military on a recent decision to give a $40bn contract for in-flight refueling tankers to their European rivals Airbus before they appeal the decision in congress.

Commander of the US Air Force's Air Mobility Command, Gen Arthur J Lichte, defended the decision to opt for the European bid saying the design had numerous advantages for the military over Boeing's design.

He said the European tanker had "More passengers, more cargo, more fuel to offload, more availability, more flexibility and more dependability. And it costs a shitload more than Boeing, with the crappy exchange rate and all, but, what the hell, we've gotta milk this adminstration for as much as we can before the shit hits the fan after November!"

Not a chance.
DrinkSlinger
No way, that's not how it ends.

The prince marries the beautiful farmer's daughter, George Jr. saves America from the perils of foreign terrorism, and we all live happily ever after with legalized high quality Absinthe.

The end.

Come to DC. See where your taxes go, give everyone the finger and have some beer.
GreyBoy2
Apparently my company had to rush ship an order to our Japan office,
which then sold it to a company in China that builds Chinese military equipment.

So fuck China and my employer too.
Bognoz
The Chineses are making weapons
outta Amurickan beer?
Kirk
I'm surprised they don't use Chinese beer.
GreyBoy2
I wish it was just the brewery selling beer to them,
unfortunately it's the bills paying job,
the company that builds laser scanning systems.

Instead of spending everything on the ironically named "defense", you'd better buy me a 28" SpicaEyes with Steve Kennedy mirror.

I promise not to kill anyone with it, not even a US marine. That ought to improve some statistics.

Did you just give me the finger wit that postrophe, even though your taxes don't go to me?

Not unless you were giving me the finger with your double misspelling.
sixela
I was. Kind of. If I edit out my misspellings, will you edit out yours?
TheGreenOne
Deal.

And if you make it to DC, I'll git you sum beer.
