The USA is sending Belgium a new ambassador and I don't mean Jonathan
Page. Please give him the welcome he deserves. Please TP his house or
whatever the local customs dictate.

For a while there I thought you'd disabled the Kunich bot just to
spite me. I now see that he just needed some time to work up some
venom and an array of false factoids. I guess there's a tradeoff
between run time and QOR as with any industry.

By the way, I think the proper greeting for him in Belgium doesn't utilize TP -
it would involve cowbells. All night long.

That could well be the strategy of the new ambassador, along with
complaints that you just can't get a good American beer there.

That's not funny. Anyone that gets sent to Belgium should be required
to demonstrate a working knowledge and appreciation of doubles and
triples.

If not, I am available. I can't speak French or Dutch, but I have
watched a lot of Hercule Poirot.

Nah, JT got me in. Not much to really talk about here. They all reward
their donors no matter how sleazy so what's to discuss other than
maybe Tom going off. Realistically, how tough a job is ambassador to
Belgium?

Tailor made. Almost two weeks and still rolling. Curtis seems

Can't you just speak English louder and louder until they understand?
Listening mode is probably irrelevant.

Great troll, well formed and with good potential. Tailor
made for guys like Bill C and Kunich. Good work.

Shame you didn't cross-post the shit out of it to maximize
the audience. I think that'll cut down the run time, but
