Tell me something about Europe

[LSK]

:popcorn:

[Dolomite]

1. I rented "Hostel" this weekend, so I'll field this one.

Europe totally kicks ass!

[LSK]

4. where at?

Details! :popcorn:

[Dolomite]

14. I was stationed in Naples, Italy for two years

and then went back on a couple of trips to IRE, ENG, BEL, etc.

Just like here - people in small towns are cool. The big cities (Paris/London) are crawling with Americans - and the people are bit more stand-off-ish.

[LSK]

16. what country or area do you live best and why?

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

38. I just got it on Netflix. Can't wait to watch!

:popcorn:

[Droopy]

2. Cheesie hair band from the 80s

[LSK]

what about them?

:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

[Droopy]

8. That's what Eroupe is

Haven't you ever heard "The Final Countdown?"

[LSK]

9. was that in a Rocky movie?

:popcorn:

[Droopy]

18. It might have been

But you also might be thinking about "The Eye of the Tiger," which was made by an equally cheesie 80s band whose name slips my mind right now.

[JVS]

3. They translate Alf into German! The true sign of a dying culture.

[LSK]

5. i hear they are big on old 80s music too

Are they living in the past? :popcorn:

[Arugula Latte]

10. ... and Hasselhoff is worshipped as a god in Germany.

:popcorn:

[dr.strangelove]

13. damn, you beat me.

[Arugula Latte]

19. Sorry 'bout that, ol' chap.

Better luck next time. Spit spot. Tally 'Ho. Chin up, and all that.

[dr.strangelove]

25. yeah, but I had pics

Ain't a thread been made that can't be made better with a topless pic of david hasselhoff.

[Arugula Latte]

27. That's true.

Nothing can match a glimpse at David's nipples and chest hair ...

[dr.strangelove]

31. Chest hair

remember when men were allowed to have chest hair.

[dr.strangelove]

11. Which once again proves my theory - the Germans love David Hasselhoff.

[JVS]

15. Alf has nothing to do with that, and he's not that popular there

What's weird is that Roger Whittaker albums are advertised on the TV

[dr.strangelove]

23. I know, I was making a joke

BAck on his SNL days, Norm MacDonald used to insert "Which proves mypoint, Germans love David Hasselhoff" all the time, even when it was not relevant to what he was talking about. Your mention of Germans liking a strange TV series seemed a good set up.

[LSK]

21. of all the lovely possible images of Europe

I get David Hasselhoff in my thread! :shrug:

[dr.strangelove]

24. David Hasselhoff is Europe

[Ottmar]

35. This thread should be deleted. n.t.

[LSK]

44. why? n/t

[tjwmason]

6. Anything in particular - or just a random fact?

:shrug:

[LSK]

7. whatever you got

[tjwmason]

12. It's mostly populated by Europeans

though at times it seems full of American tourists.

[LSK]

17. are you series!?!?

I thought it was full of brazilians! :crazy:

[JVS]

20. They're being replaced with Turkish and N.African guest workers

It appears that Europeans have become obsolete.

[XemaSab]

22. Lotta gringos there...

[Call Me Wesley]

26. You can buy popcorn here.

No biggie.

[LostinVA]

28. It's full of furriners who speak English funny

[meegbear]

29. A majority of the people in Spain speak Spanish ....

but that's not the case in Luxemburg.

[LSK]

30. do they speak Luxemish in Luxemburg?

[meegbear]

33. I think they speak Luxemian ...

I'll have to check the internets.

[GOPFighter]

39. They speak very fast in Luxemburg

And the natives are called Luxemburgers. They are served in buns with relish.

[Oeditpus Rex]

32. It's really, really

old.

[billyskank]

36. He speaks the truth

There are older places, but Europe is pretty old. :hi:

[YankeyMCC]

34. In Sweden and Finland

Pea soup is a traditional meal on Thursdays.

[slide to the left]

37. The don't use ice

in their drinks. Neither do I. Maybe I am European.

[billyskank]

43. Yes they do

?

[BooScout]

46. Only when you ask for it..........

...and it's never more than 3 melting cubes unless you threaten the bartender with bodily harm. :evilgrin:

[billyskank]

47. More than 3 cubes takes too much volume away from your drink

surely?

[kwassa]

40. It is full of foreign people.

[Blue_Tires]

41. they are hosting the world cup.....

[RedCloud]

42. It rhymes with "You're up."

Constant source of confusion, I say.

[BooScout]

45. Beer is better.........wine is better.....

Cheese is better.........gas is more expensive......public transportation is waaaaaay better.....Castles abound......Parisians are snots........The southern coast of Spain should be called little Britain.....yadda, yadda, yadda.

[Amaya]

48. the men are better in bed

heh...
ok, i've only had one European and he's damn good.
:popcorn:
:D

[Orsino]

49. They invented white people...

...though I hear they have many redeeming qualities.
