Do gypsies steal children ?

[hobbit.]

Or is it just a generic eastern european thing? Poles, Slavic types etc?

Sure they do, just like Jews feast on Christian babies during their Satanic (read non-Christian) rituals.

I strongly suspect the gypsies-stealing-babies stories came from parents who left their children to die from exposure and needed a plausible allibi.

my dad told me, as a young child, if i wasn't good, he would sell me to them.

sometimes the christian babies are just asking for it, you know? walking through jewish districts after church, singing their christian songs. we just had to cut his throat and hide the body, right?

Does the taste vary by denomination (like wines vary by grape, slope, season, soil, etc.)?

The Gypsies Are Coming
By Shel Silverstein

The gypsies are coming, the old people say,
To buy little children and take them away
Fifty cents for fat ones
Twenty cents for lean ones
Fifteen cents for dirty ones
Thirty cents for clean ones
A nickel each for mean ones

The gypsies are coming, and maybe tonight
To buy little children and lock them up tight.
Eighty cents for husky ones
Quarter for the weak ones
Penny each for noisy ones
A dollar for the meek ones

Forty cents for happy ones
Eleven cents for sad ones
And, kiddies, when they come to buy,
It won’t do any good to cry,
But—just between yourself and I—
They NEVER buy the bad ones!

I love Silverstein.

On another note- WTF is a gypsie. I mean, I kinda know, but is it also a race? I thought it was that kinda vagabony lifestyle. Like calling someone a "nerd" or a "hipster" but some folk on here are acting like it's a religion or race.

The Gypsies with which I am familiar are the Rom.

There are several family groups, clans, tribes or whatever you want to call them in the south. Most are in the east, but tend to travel through the year as construction workers or contractors. A lot of the traveling clans are roofers or siding installers.

Every couple years there is some kind of scandal involving contractor fraud and a Rom outfit. It always makes good press.

 

[Peregrinator]

Well, I peregrinate, I don't gyps, and I'm northwestern euro mutt, not slavic, but I definitely steal them.

The real question is whether to boil them like the English do or fry them in bacon grease like the English do.

I bet you wish you woulda been good now eh

I've heard long pork tastes of ass.

no contest. bacon grease. *nods*

 

[Bidin~Time]

There are a few I would consider stealing, but only for the day, or, depending upon age, until their diapers need changed.

Mormon children have the most delicious blood -- they don't even grow up around second-hand smoke, etc. But, matzohs are supposed to be made with Christian blood -- substituting Mormon blood is rather a faux pas.

weigh 'em in for scrap?

 

[KingOrfeo]

They stole Adam Smith once; they ultimately let him go. (Of which a friend of Smith's later in life once remarked, "He would have made, I fear, a poor Gypsy.")
