Free money

Gold leader · 12-14-2001, 08:49 AM

Going for the all-time view-to-post ratio record here.

From today on every dutch citizen older than 6 can acquire the so-called "euro kit", containing the different euro coins. They are meant to help people to get used to the new coins before the official euro introduction at 1 jan. Authorities expect a "mild chaos". I think it's going to be worse. Mild chaos is created when you give dutch people free yoghurt samples as an advertisement. Extreme chaos is what you get when you give them free money.

My cousin's girlfriend is Dutch...

There'll be a massive rush for the money, and then they'll all buy mayonnaise for their fries, and deplete the national mayo reserves...

***Rogue Nine*** · 12-14-2001, 12:14 PM

I never did like the Euro. I dunno how it's gonna affect Europe's economy. It's supposed to standardize currency, but I don't know just how long it will take to get fully integrated. I can understand why England is keeping its pounds.

Gold leader · 12-14-2001, 12:58 PM

I happen to hate mayonnaise.

I think that England will switch to the euro within 10 years, provided it is not going to be a disaster.

Nitro · 12-14-2001, 02:21 PM

I used to hate mayo too... But now I love it! On burgers, fries, chicken... ANYTHING!

Nute Gunray · 12-14-2001, 02:23 PM

I am violently anti-EU. Stupid Europe thinks it can mess with the US by ganging up on us! Ah, but the US always wins because we always cheat. We won the Cold War by cheating you know. We make up a treaty saying you can only have a certain about of missiles and everyone loves it. What do we do? Put 15 warheads in a single missile while no was paying attention. Suddenly we have a 15 to 1 advantage. We get an airbase for B-52s 25ish miles from the Soviet Union in Turkey. The Soviets try to station missiles 100 some miles from us in Cuba and we threaten to spew nuclear weapons in every direction. They try building a base in Grenada and we invaded. Soviets try to resupply Egyptian forces fighting the Israelis and we tell them to back off or we'll nuke their asses into some pre-stone age state. What was I talking about? oh yeah. and that's why i feel a full nuclear strike on Europe--wait, that's not right either. I feel, through my extensive studies of the EU (I WENT TO THEIR WEBSITE, BOY DOES IT LOAD SLOW), that the Euro will fall apart thanks to US and Japanese wrangling and using the British and the Swiss(!) to drive it apart.
What you think Market #1 and Market #2 are going to sit on their hands while Market #3, #4, #6, and a bunch of others try to band together to make the largest free market in the world?

Keyan Farlander · 12-14-2001, 02:49 PM

Down wih the Euro!

And I used to hate mayo as well, but now I like it...but only on certain things, like submarine sandwitches and in tuna salad.

Nitro · 12-14-2001, 04:28 PM

Yup... Mayo kicks ass.

***Rogue Nine*** · 12-14-2001, 04:35 PM

My g/f showed me a few days ago that when you mix mayo with ketchup, it tastes pretty good on food and other things.

Keyan Farlander · 12-14-2001, 04:41 PM

Eek!

Nitro · 12-14-2001, 05:04 PM

Mayo and ketchup... And you say your girlfriend showed you? Sounds kinky to me...

(Think about it... I think it's the most disgusting thing I've said in a long time..)

***Rogue Nine*** · 12-14-2001, 05:58 PM

We were eating fish fillets, you perverts.

'Course, after fencing that night, there was a little lesson in French after that.

Fencing? That's what you call it?

Keyan Farlander · 12-14-2001, 06:07 PM

You said "food and other things." Fish is food the last time I checked!

edlib · 12-14-2001, 09:20 PM

Hey,..

Air Juggernaut · 12-15-2001, 12:48 AM

Give me the damnit money, damn!

Nitro · 12-15-2001, 02:38 AM

Are you dutch?

Flying Beastie · 12-15-2001, 10:15 PM

No, but we're goin' Dutch; I want money too!

Nitro · 12-16-2001, 02:41 AM

Well, if you ain't dutch, then...

*MC Hammer*
You can't dutch this!

Gold leader · 12-16-2001, 09:45 AM

All this double dutch is some serious thread hijacking, dammit!
Go euro! Although the euro bank notes are ugly, the 1 and 2 euro coin look better than any dollar coin.

Nitro · 12-16-2001, 10:49 AM

Yeah, but there's nothing that can beat the Toonie...

Flying Beastie · 12-17-2001, 12:25 PM

Actually, I prefer the loonie.

Nitro · 12-17-2001, 05:46 PM

I know you most likely haven't, but I'm gonna ask anyway... Have you ever heard of Carla Guerts? I'm hoping your into competitive swimming... She was on the Olympic team.

*Wraith 8* · 12-17-2001, 06:05 PM

Yeah i know her..... along with Inge de Bruin en Pieter van den Hogeband. yeah... why??

Nitro · 12-18-2001, 11:44 PM

She's my cousin's girlfriend...

Andrew Cole... He's a swim coach.

That is so cool that you know her! Now, do you know her personally, or have you just heard of her?

**GUNNER** · 12-19-2001, 12:41 AM

mayo and Ketchup, you are just now figureing this out? We have had that out here for years, it's calles "special sauce" at some burger joints.

also mayo and PB makes for a great sandwich.

Oh yeah, I'll take some of that money too, I figure it has to be worth something over here.

***Rogue Nine*** · 12-19-2001, 12:55 AM

We're both on the varsity fencing team, sabres. And we both take AP French. So don't get any nasty ideas.

But don't think that I don't get anything either.

Partly pride

, partly scepticism on how well the euro will do. Personally I think we will be left behind if we dont fully join the EU.

Wraith why does europe suck?

Flying Beastie · 12-19-2001, 08:28 PM

Mainly because it's not connected to England, though I've no idea what Wraith was on about.

<small>And, to be fair, England sucks because it's not connected to Ireland.</small>

It's called Thousand Island salad dressing.

)
