At least they had fun and won awards.

Miserable fat Belgian b*stards.

Fixed.

I'm pretty sure subby violated the FArQ by posting profanity in the headline.

They should watch their language.

Wop!

I'm part Flemish, so I'm getting a kick...

I really find this whole thread most distasteful. Yes, I know, shock value grabs clicks and all that, but really, can't we have a common floor of basic decency somewhere?

Parking cars, what else does one do in a car park?

Damn, look at van Rompuy. That dude is old. He's got to be at least thirty-seven times the age of the universe itself.

Dammit subby headlines like that are why we are galactically shunned.

It's a fairytale country, isn't it? How's a fairytale country not somebody's farking thing? What do you mean it's not really his thing? What's that supposed to mean? It's not really his thing. What the fark is that supposed to mean?

/Don't know any Belgium jokes, and if I did I think I'd have the good sense not to... hang on. Is Belgium with all those child abuse murders lately? I do know a Belgium joke. What's Belgium famous for? Chocolates and child abuse, and they only invented the chocolates to get to the kids.

Stupid Flanders.

Subby, you are a tasteless bastard that deserves to be whipped.

/With a towel

I'm not really confident that this guy is going to be able to make the European Presidency an influential, much less relevant, institution. This guy is the Peyton Randolph of Europe's Continental Congress.

*golf clap*

Foxxinnia: This guy is the Peyton Randolph of Europe's Continental Congress.

Oh BURN!

The United States still holds the title for most gratuitous censorship a work of literature.

Stay classy, FARK.

Thank god Blair farked off.

Foxxinnia: I'm not really confident that this guy is going to be able to make the European Presidency an influential, much less relevant, institution.

It's not really supposed to be. He's not president of the EU, just the European Council. The position has practically no authority and is mostly ceremonial.

Came for the HHGTTG references, leave froody.

/anyone for Krikkit?

Bad_Seed: The United States still holds the title for most gratuitous censorship a work of literature.

True, but this is the ONE exception I'll make to the whole idea that censorship lowers the quaility of a work. Belgium was already established in the radio series as the most offensive word in the universe, so putting that into Life, the Universe, and Everything allowed for a less heavy handed joke about the use of swear words "maturing" a drama, and Arthur getting to offend a bunch of aliens is always fun.

The King Of Belgium is suspiciously absent from this picture. He was last seen in the company of this sausage vendor.

Mentat: Stupid Flanders.

Well done, sir. Well done.

Belgium isn't real. (new window)

Submitted this yesterday afternoon w/ better headline etc...

/Obligatory

The Baroness Ashton of Upholland and Herman Van Rompuy?

America needs more leaders with supervillain names.

subby must be thinking of Ostend Hoverport.

I don't get it at all

Is the EU a country yet?

Grungehamster: True, but this is the ONE exception I'll make to the whole idea that censorship lowers the quaility of a work.

Why would censorship lower quaility?



There's certainly nothing offensive about this guy.



/ Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?

The waffles are good though.

/Strawberry and whipped cream, please

Oh sure. Yet when I write the word "bialgium" the filter pwns me.

in a landscape: Is the EU a country yet?

No
