This is not uncommon, or funny. I’m somewhere between you and fotze.

Or, they could take my advice and bring back the Zeppelins! Travel in style. Just remember your ticket.
I would pay a lot of money for this. You can even keep your gruel. I want the grog though!

I hate to sound like Polak, but a lot of Europe has this #### figured out.
Is...Fuzz a Nazi? Lots of not-so-subtle hints dropped here. Has anyone seen how he ends a speech at a rally?

Pfft! Look at 'Mr. Amateur Traveler' over here!

You take the gruel and trade it to some schmuck who doesn't want their grog! Then you get TWO grogs!

Or you can place bets on the monkey knife fights happening in what used to be the Flight Attendants' area.

I've put a consortium together to take over the rotting husk of Spirit Airlines. We have ideas.

Don’t lol me you old dick.

I will de-escalate and will regret not kicking in the face for years.

I still regret not telling that air waitress she was a c word complete with middle finger in the face as I got off the flight after she humiliated me at the beginning of the flight.

Pro tip people. Germans aren't Nazis. Nazis are Nazis. If you look at a German and ponder if they are a Nazi or not, you are a bad person. If I need to setup a classroom session for you and Brupal, and anyone else, let me know your schedule. My family was murdered by Nazis. I'm married to a half German. Understanding how reality works makes that all possible.


And Polak was a poster here who stood in his sink and regaled us with tales of the glory of Europe, and that we could do that too, if we had the will.

I remember way back the day after 9/11 my polak coworker came into my office and said the Jews were warned with a phone call to not go to the office that day. I said my wife got that call on her Jew phone so it was true and to get out of my office.

The German soldiers in WWII also weren’t necessarily Nazis. I made the mistake of calling them Nazis during a private tour in Normandy and our guide politely corrected me. (That was the best tour we’ve ever taken in our extensive travels.)

You're on CP, the land where conflict over petty things between posters a decade ago still continues.

I boxed up a driver and 3 wood to send to my brothers place in Northern Minnesota. Have a set of clubs that I keep down there and wanted to add some more. Anyway, I get to the post office and the employee there passes on some bad news. She said President Donald Trump issued a July 30 executive order to close the de minimis exemption, a customs tax rule that has allowed millions of cheap shipments everyday to flow into the U.S., for all countries, effective Aug. 29, as part of his broader protectionist trade campaign. It didn't matter the reasons why I was shipping; I still had to pay. I said thanks but no thanks and left with my parcel.

My only option now is to ship it with WestJet when I fly to Minneapolis later this month. Hopefully his new tariffs don't apply to airlines

They've done this to kill the Temu and Shein US market. Hope Canada does the same.

Is “Sink Stander” now the accepted derogatory term for Polish people?

I believe the de minimis exemption closure only applies to commercial products from small businesses, and personal packages should still be OK?

Well, a lot of Germans were Nazis, to be fair.
