The Dutch want New York back

Keep New York and give them Los Angeles. That's worth about the $24.00 in beads and trinkets we paid for Manhatten.
 
I say let them have it, as well as Long Island too. They are foreign countries to me, and I never go there anyway (even though I am right across the bridge in New Jersey :p ).
 
NY is the most horrible one-eyed hole on earth. I don't have good memories of the place because of certain circumstances, but even then... God damn, what an ugly city!

A few years back I vowed never to go there again.

However, if they open a few coffee shops and have more women there with Dutch accents, I might be persuaded to return :catroar:

You didn't pay for Manhattan. The Dutch did.

We Brits can claim back New York. We changed our Royal Family to a Dutch one.

Whether we want it? It should be restored to its original state as it was when bought. Then it might be worth having.

Damn, if France, Spain, Mexico, and Russia get feisty too, we'll have little left.

If the Native Americans got feisty - you wouldn't have anything...

Right, we'd have to go back where we came from.

"Hiya Uncle Og! We're back, and we're here to stay this time! We brought Wal-Mart, Vegas and our SUVs along, hope you don't mind . . ."

We would be in real trouble with US citizens, Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders, South Africans etc. etc.

We would have to send all the more recent immigrants, say those from 1800 onwards, back again. Africa would be repopulated with the descendants of slaves.

As Og, of course, I own everything. I was around before Adam and Eve...

Hey! I resent that! L.A. don't go cheap, baby. You take us out to Spago, promise us a three picture deal and a house in Malibu. That's the sort of beads and trinkets buys you L.A. :cool:

Now, of course, if they want the valley, that's a different story. It might even work out well for them as it's the center of the porn industry.

Actually, claimants would first have to go through the Duchy of Grand Fenwick.

True. And I bet Cloudy, for one, can get delightfully feisty in the right mood.
 
Does this mean that the tariffs would be lifted on chocolate?

Peace.

So come to New Amsterdam and we'll protest together! Power to the People! Fight the opression! Down with the Yankees! The South will rise again... oh... wait, sorry, I seem to have mixed up my protests. I must have been standing downwind from your herbal supplements. Nevermind.





P.S. Arsenic is all natural too. ;)
 
Uranium is natural too. Processing it causes the problems...

I love this plan, it shows, I'm going to say moxie? It's just altogether an idea I can get behind.

For the most part, I liked their plan for renovation of the city too, the Empire State building would look lovely in red.

And this, which seems wholly accurate to me:

Times Square, now reachable by boat and filled with authentic Amsterdam canal water, nutrified by stoned British tourists since decades - how sweet would not the scent... eh, nevermind.
