Europeans in TAM

Since we, the European members will have to suffer any sort of humiliation in order to arrive in Las Vegas( they are going to fingerprint us and take our pictures as if we are common criminals) and since some of us will bring goodies like chocolate, baklava and danish feta ( ) we have to make our presence known.

What do you suggest? Do you want me to bring to each of you a T-shirt with the Greek flag on it and let the American peasants know who their ancestors are?

Speak-up.

BTW do we have a list of the European members?

We have to find a motto to distinguish ourselves from the peasantry.

* lifts right fist*

"Europeans Unite!!!!! Let's go get them!!!!!!"

We will just ply you with weak beer and fast food to dull your desire to be different. By the time Monday rolls around you will all be wearing blue jeans and t-shirts while drinking Budwiser. You will forget where you came from and feel a strong desire to move into a trailer park in Tennessee.


MAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

When people in your continent were still living on the trees we were drinking the beer that we have invented, in golden cups....

Do people in Vegas speak French? How will we be able to order our food if they don't?

Don´t waste your time, my queen. You are talking to people who think that a "culture" is something you grow germs in.

Keep in mind that most of us are of european ancestry. We were swinging in the trees at the same time you were. Also, I am ¼ Macedonian.

To further add to your brain washing, You will end up calling yourself Ms. Cleo. Claus Larsen will adopt the name Bubba. Shot guns and pick up trucks will be as familiar to you as olives and classical architecture.

That will only be needed for the tough cases.....the Brits that is.

The rest of you will go home and get strange looks from your freinds when you call them Y'all and talk with a twang.

Of course, you own country will deport you back to the US as "pod people" when they discover that you now prefer burbon to scotch and make other odd choices.

I think the last straw will be when you find yourself saying:

"That George Bush feller ain't so bad after all."

The French food in Vegas isn't any better than the French food in France.

Pool Boy works in Europe most of the time. He was hired because the French couldn't work with the Germans, who hated the Italians, and no body likes the English, and do the Protugese ever work for anyone....

they all needed someone to unite them in their hatred - an American boss! Now things run smoothly!

So, if you united Europeans need a leader Pool Boy can help
