FTA: "He hit the top speed in two runs in the borrowed car."

Well, I'm surprised. I thought he'd get a lot of use from it and want to own it outright.

Hey now, there's a swear word in this headline that got past the filter.

 
ghall3 2008-10-11 06:28:13 PM  
Yep. Belgium sucks.

Well, Brussels anyway.

My British and Dutch friends call it "the armpit of Europe". I've been. It's true. You notice the difference as soon as you drive over the border.

Well, at least they've got the best beer in the world.

What are the two things that Belgium is famous for?

Chocolate and child molesters. And they only made the chocolate to get to the children.

Now the only thing I can think of is some poor Belgian strapped to an acme rocket, trying to get the hell out of Belgium.

Came for the Van Damme references - leaving disappointed.

Subby must be trying for the award for the most gratuitous use of the word "Belgium" in a fark headline.

well, i just moved away from belgium after living there off and on for 15 years. will go back - great place. farkers would love Leuven - beer paradise, and always a bar open somewhere...

I was in Belgium back in may. One night in the hotel bloom i watched Time Cop... My life is now complete. I watched a Van Damme movie in Belgium drinking a Leffe. Too bad it wasn't Bloodsport.

My buddy Geert lives in Leuven. Great place. Strombeek is pretty nice too. I would probably move to Belgium if the weather didn't suck so bad.

Don't even need that. Drive into Flanders and you'll notice the differnce. Stupid Flanders.

WTF is all the Belgium hate? When you haters say it is "BAD", exactly how is it bad? Does it smell? Do they eat babies?

Belgium should be the best of many worlds - Dutch, German and French. I think this is a case of Farkers biatching because their unrealistically high expectations were not met.

A TYPICAL day in Leuven's Oude Markt (bars and students as far as the eye can see):

Ken: Coming up?
Ray: What's up there?
Ken: The view.
Ray: The view of what? The view of down here? I can see that down here.
Ken: Ray, you are about the worst tourist in the whole world.
Ray: Ken, I grew up in Dublin. I love Dublin. If I grew up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me but I didn't, so it doesn't.

//Bruge is a shiathole

Nothing is Obscure on Fark. I quoted the Belgium joke earlier. In Bruges- black comedy masterpiece.

after driving in brussels, i thought all of the drivers were blind and trying to break speed records, so this headline didn't surprise me.

belgian beer and chocolate are considered some of the best in the world (and in my opinion, both are the absolute best), so i'm not trying to hate on an entire country, but after driving and biking in the netherlands for a year or so, i don't get how drivers get so unbelievably bad just an hour and a half away.

Brussels is indeed a pain to navigate through, and the Netherlands have invested quite some on biking accomodations, in Maastricht there are guarded bike parking spots, for free!

/what's with all the hating?

Ah so it's like the Jersey of Europe, nice.


.....my hating comes from personal experience with the places (Belgium and Jersey)

The bad news is it scared the shiat out of his dog!
