      I thought it was going to be United Europe?

      I prefer Europe United - it will save on a lot of stationary.
      yada

        Could somebody please explain to me what the problem is with "European Union"? I like it!
        I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

            Sounds like a futbol team.

              EU is actually quite hard to say when drunk, especially if the preceding word in the sentence ends with a vowel (like "the").

              Theeeeiiuuu.

              No, we need an acronym with consonants, to take account of our relaxed drinking culture.

                    This is great. Now Europe can whine about their own United SomethingOrOther.
                    For an area of the world that constantly criticizes, there sure is a lot of imitation of the USA being done.

                        Plan to have elections? Do away with Monarchy?
                        If not, how will that work? Keep the royal family on the welfare rolls, status quo?
                        The Euro isn't much the same as the US dollar concept ?
                        How much more you want?

                          probably. but that's not American. Other (European) nations have them too you know

                          Do away Monarchy? If not, how will that work? Keep the royal family on the welfare rolls, status quo?
                          no clue. but all the monarchies will stay.

                          The Euro isn't much the same as the US dollar concept ?
                          please clarify

                            What, you mean it's, like, money? I think the Lydians got there first.

                              Slow,

                              Let them think its their idea. That way they can be morally and intellectually superior to the US.

                              Next thing you know they'll come up with this thing called the constitution. Whoops perhaps I've said too much.

                                You're certainly welcome.

                                And you're right, Ogie.

                                What I meant about the money was that rather than each State in the USA having their own currency, the Euro is the same.
                                Not the concept of money itself. Just a common currency.

                                BTW, in the time of the Southern Confederacy one of the breakdowns, of many, was that each state started producing their own versions of money.
                                Like that would work real well.
