Trichet said it was difficult to describe the euro as weak after its 6.2 percent drop against the dollar this year.
When the euro was introduced, it was 1.17 to the dollar, now it’s about 1.31 so “to speak of a euro that is weak doesn’t reflect the present situation,” Trichet said.
Perhaps we’ll have to speak instead of a euro that is:
Flaccid
Limp
Exsanguinated
Stricken
Diseased
Drained
Torpid
Insubstantial
Trichet Says ECB Must Do Everything to Restore Confidence (like preventing people from using the word “weak” in its connection?) [Bloomberg]
dont talk about my euro that way
Leaked photos of the euro wrestling a bear might help.
I offer a complete and utter retraction for my comments about the Euro. The imputation was totally without basis in fact, and was in no way fair comment, and was motivated purely by malice, and I deeply regret any distress that my comments may have caused you, or your currency, and I hereby undertake not to repeat any such slander at any time in the future.
They should kick Ireland and Slovakia out just to show some balls.
ab: Exactly! I was wondering if anyone would catch it.
Is it Roget’s Day or something here at Dealbreaker?
@3 Other currencies don’t read philosophy!
To the Euro:
“It’s not you….it’s me. Try thing of things this way; I’m not dumping you so much as I’m setting you free. The reality is, you’re too good for me. I’m sorry.”
To euro: EUROver parity!
To #8: #9 here….I hadn’t seen your post before I finished mine. That’s pretty weird.
gold standard, baby
all these paper monies gonna be fillin wheelbarrows soon
suck my balls americans € trumps $ and thats it
since we’re all off the gold standard and on the “carrier strike group” standard, I’d have to say the Euro can go blow goats
@12
You guys still going swimming with “boy shorts” on over there?
The Euro is better toilet paper than what they typically have available over there.
@12 – If it wasn’t for us Americans, the common European currency would be the Reichsmark.
Agree with 13.
The Euro’s value is wholly dependent on Russia’s willingness to stay within Russia.
@16 if it wasn’t for us europeans the sioux would still be scalping the apache’s over there so shut up.
you will always be the colonies.
@14
how will you ever know – you sound like you’re part of the 50% of americunts that doesnt have a passport…
@13 – Agreed, a noted philosopher once said “Would you like to know what you’d be without us, the good ol’ U.S. of A. to protect you? I’ll tell you. The smallest fucking province in the Russian Empire, that’s what!”
@20 why don’t you go home and play with your bandersnatch?
@18, Pale face taught injun to scalp. Was pale face form of counting coup. Pale face speaks with forked tongue.
@19, the only reason for the passport rate disparity is that most European countries are about the size of a middling Texas ranch, whereas Americans can go to all of North America and several island imperial possessions without one.
/American who does have his passport
@18, when the colony has an occupying army in the mother country, the distinction becomes quite irrelevant
What’s funny is that the allegedly “smartest” Europeans stood on the dock and laughed their asses off as Columbus sailed west for the flat Earth’s edge…
Plus at least 50% of Americans don’t fit in plane seats… so having a passport is of no use.
@23
yeah why would you want to anywhere where people aren’t fat & obnoxious and girls have more STD’s than madoff has creditors?
Re:
Flaccid
Limp
$1.31 – I would say it’s still at “half-chub” or “semi” and I’m still getting fucked on my vaca this summer.
@24/25
is must be comforting for you guys to know that if you fail in life, well, you are proudly continuing a family tradition since only losers who couldnt cut out a place for themselves in europe left for america..
@27, to paraphrase Churchill’s rejoinder to Lady Astor “chlamydia is curable, ugly ain’t”
Smell me? I am European.
@30
not to worry dude – you live in a country that thinks tara reid is a hot piece of ass so there must be a market for you too..
@31
do i wear an ‘i f*ck on the first date’ t-shirt? I am an american mother!
@18 — no prob, just keep in mind that we still have 100,000 military personnel stationed in your countries, and they find it quite fun to rape and humiliate your wives, sisters and daughters before slinking back to their bases so that our government (which finds your complaining adorable) can cover everything up.
faithfully yours,
the colonies
@34 yeah right pussy – read 33, that’s your mom we’re talking about..
Long: EUO
Short: Commenters on this post
@33 At least I don’t have to fuck strangers. I can just do my sister.
Wow! This board has taken a decidedly nasty turn. Never could’ve predicted that happening considering the topic and all.
I’m getting some popcorn.
@35 — no need to get so worked up. try to think about it cooly. yes, our guys raped your wife/sister/daughter, but so what? their hymens were a tiny and very reasonable price to pay for 60 years of our protection.
just remember, the russians would have raped them a lot harder than we did.
faithfully yours, &c.
the colonies
@ 39 – no force ever involved. A few care packages from the Navy Exchange and they’re open like 7-11…
Mom, what’s an eurofaggot?
America sneezes and the EU (ex-Germany and France) fails. So go take a siesta and we’ll kick start the global economy… again.
@29, yes, a tradition we call buying low and selling high
@29, my ancestors got here when the peasants took over France from their rightful rulers and declared bathing illegal.
Too much Euro-peanis, didn’t read.
