Yeah, I had actually hear some people claiming they wanted the right-wing populist to win the election so he didn't attempt for a position with any real power.

Well, that is not so smart. This particular sweetheart is not our one and only right-wing populist, he ain't even their leader, a win would do nothing but creating broader acceptance for the movement itself.

Oh, sorry. But I most certainly wasn't. I was referring to the Durch Queen. When we say "the Queen", we always mean the Dutch Queen. Your Queen just isn't that important.

No, don't leave. Why don't we just leave politics aside for once and just make fun of these chicken dancing, cornbags in holes throwing Cincinnatians together. What could be more European than that.

Perhaps our fascination with the cornhole game can be directly attributed to staring at the bungholes of those European women in the porn movies? They kind of look the same..

I didn't realise you were talking about the Orange Tulip Queen, well that being the case please continue.

True, true.
Although chicken dancing could apply to my moves after a few drinks!!!!
So guys are any of you members of the American Cornhole Organization? And have any of you seen Cornhole the Movie?

Uuuuugh... honestly, if that were true, it would say much more about you then about Europe.
What's this obsession with bungholes?
You stare at them, vote them your mayor...

Sorry man, didn't intend to derail the thread. But, once certain images are seen, they cannot be unseen.

Yeah, didn't seem like too great of an idea. It was something I saw put out there on reddit. I tend to follow European news a lot on there.
