WANT!!!
That balloon is not from Germany. It’s from Belgium.
thats not even belgium, belgium is germany but 90 degree to the left.
i dont know where this is from, some unknown country guess
“belgium is germany but 90 degree to the left”
it’s not. germany is black-red-yellow while belgium is black-yellow-red.
and 90 degreee to the left/right!
moritze? klingt wien deutscher name, eh?
du kommst aus europa und kennst die belgische flagge nicht???
arm…
wahrscheinlich sind hier eh alle deutsch, und tun so als wären sie aus amiland
Diese Flagge ist aus Belgien!
This flag is from Belgium. Aber ich denke der erste Satz reicht. Können ja doch alle deutsch hier^^
vielleicht ist das die Flagge aus der ARD?
HöHö
WIN!
Gut Möglich^^
To me the middle doesn’t look yellow at all. So it could be the flag of the German empire (before 1945) or Itlay (if the balloon’s shadow makes the green part look black)
How you moron manage to use a computer without cutting yourself or blowing something up is beyond me.
Ignorance paired with arrogance.
If you want to sound smart, at least check your facts. Plus get your vision checked while you’re at it
Also, a look at the license number reveals the balloon is from Belgium. It starts with OO-…
I can see you expecting other folks to know the Belgian flag, but the license numbers? Puh-lease. We do have to keep a few brain cells free to do things like know the name of our own Governor, Mayor and so forth!
BTW, in the US, license numbers will NOT tell you what state you are from.
But it sure as hell tells ya which country yer from.
Not in the USA it doesn’t.
Clarification. USA license plates can start with any number or any letter, and end with the same. You can have vanity plates “babydoc” or low numbers “002″ or whatever. The only clarification for the state is color, background pattern and registration sticker. And there is a little USA on it. Our license plates are VERY different from yours.
There’s even a Wikipedia page with more US license plate info.
He talked about the license number of the balloon, not a license plate…wtf…the license number of us-aircrafts starts with N, so you can tell which country it comes from, that’s the only purpose of the starting letter(s)
Oh, I know. The conversation here seemed to turn to license plates.
OMG man, seriously, this is a balloon, not a car. Can’t you just accept that this is a Belgian balloon, with a Belgian aircraft register? Trust me, I know more about this than you do.
Viking Gal is not a man. Just so you know.
American hot air Balloon national registration letter ‘N’
British ‘G’
Belgian (Which this one is) ‘OO’
Why do people have to challenge facts as soon as they’re presented?
The Darth Vader hot air balloon is Belgian.
And for those German extremists, you can call yellow gold until you’re blue in the face, but it’s still yellow.
And just for you, you can call “or” “yellow” all day long, and all you’ll do is expose your total ignorance of heraldary.
The pwner pwnd the pwning pwn
Heraldry-WIN!!!
It’s not! The german flag ist black, red, GOLD!
germany is black-red-gold and not yellow.
could be romaninan, blue-yellow-red.
since your such a know it all,
i just want to make clear that germany is black – red – gold. not yellow.
you seem to be confusing ‘your’ with ‘you’re’ or ‘you are’…knowitall.
Gold! GOLD! Not yellow.
go ahead and google image belgium flag. is everybody ignorant?
Yes, probably ignorant. But at least they didn’t say ‘France’ or ‘Switzerland’! (OK, I have low expectations for my countrymen!)
that is indeed the belgium flag. the german one got the stripes the other way; I would know because I’m belgium
dude, it really is the belgian flag: it’s hanging vertically, so your point of 90 degrees to the left makes sense..
Thank you for pointing that out. I don’t see what’s the problem with it if it were German. It’s a hot air balloon, not a zeppelin.
lol that was so cold, but true
Yes, that’s what I came to say.
It’s the Get-Idiots-To-Discuss-Land-Flag
thats not a german flag… stupid americans…
I thought any foreign threat was German, Russian, or blindly labeled “terrorist”?
conclusion confirmed
Ok. Just making sure. Now…. fear the Germans and their balloon! The Belgian flag is just to give you a false sense of security! Run from Ze Germans!
yeah, run, i’ll come.
If you run, you’ll only die tired.
belongs to how far away you are.
The Barret M107 .50 cal will get you a lot farther than you can run. The shooter can drink a cup of coffee and then come back to shooting at you.
Spot the Redneck? *gg* Over in the “good old world”, it’s the way how 3rd-graders talk about guns, explosions and other 9-yr-old-awesomeness
I hope english isn’t your primary language. But then again, reading your post it isn’t, even if it is.
Run, run, as fast as you can
But you can’t run away, coz’
I’m the Bratwurst & Sauerkraut man!
I’m the Volkswagen-Oktoberfest and I’m out of the pan!
don’t forget china
and the whole middle east. ohhh scary.
And don’t forget Ireland. They have specially trained Leprechauns.
How do you know an American made this?
Cause he’s a ninja, and we all know that ninjas are experts in both American and German sociology.
Americans go “Rest of the world…huh??…whazzat?????”
Because I’m sure all Europeans, Asians, Africans, and South Americans know every flag in the world. In fact I’ll bet every European knows every U.S. State flag, It should be about the same since some of the U.S. States are even larger than some European Countries. /sarcasm
Who cares about flags of the federal subjects?! BTW – you could have mentioned that there are countries in Europe which are even smaller than Brooklyn…
Why should we know ‘every U.S. state flag’? U.S. states are not countries, they don’t have an independent foreign policy, a seat at the UN or whatever that is that defines state- resp. nationhood. If, say, Oklahoma decides to invade someone, they would be doing so necessarily under the U.S. flag (which we know), so why should we know their flag?
Im sure most americans dont know 5 of the state flags by heart…
Wanna bet, sh1thead?
German – Belgian; who can’t be bothered to keep the flags apart will most probably not care about that difference either. *eyeroll*
That’s Belgium not Germany.
That’s Belgiany, not Germium.
WIN!
That’s a Begonia, not a Geranium! (what my tired brain saw)
I would advise you to stop using that flowery language
LOL.
Yeah, don’t insult the Germans like that! HA!
That’s a Belgian flag, not a German one (which would be black-red-gold/yellow from top to bottom; the belgian one is black-yellow-red sideways).
It is a German flag, it was just made in China. Blame China.
My kids have a little dollar store American flag. It’s made in China. I has a sad.
We really have to blame Wal Mart for that. Of course, if I learned anything from South Park it’s that we are all to blame for Wal Mart. So I guess we only have ourselves to blame.
I don’t blame myself. I blame society. Here’s a sad day: at Sears we always advertise how the Craftsman hand tools are all American made. We just got in a bunch of new Craftsman wrenches…made in China. I has a sad.
They used to be made at a factory in Gastonia NC.
I blame dumb people.
I’m sure you meant belgian flag.
What if I meant Irish? Would that be a problem for you?
Actually, now that I think about it, that would be bad. Can you imagine a bunch of drunk Irish guys in a hot ar balloon? They’d be having contests to see who could piss on the most people from the air.
Why am I suddenly hearing Chumpawumba’s “I get knocked down?”
But I get up again.
You’re never going to keep me down
He drinks a whiskey drink, he drinks a vodka drink, he drinks a lager drink, he drinks a cider drink!
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the better times
Oh no! It’s 1998 again! Don’t remind me of my rotten youth!
bitter troll gets knocked down, but bitter troll gets up again
your never gonna keep bitter troll down
Harkness it could be much, much worse. This was around the same time that a certain young person from Louisiana hit the music scene.
Ooops you did it again.
LEAVE BRATTNEY ALONE!!!
-cries, make up runs-
Bt, You’re not that innocent.
*headesk* what did I start?
*sigh* You’re never gonna keep me down.
Pissing the night away. Pissing the night away.
Same as it ever was… Same as it ever wa-
Oh…. sorry, wrong thread.
even a worse sign of education being
too blind to see that it carries a belgian flag and a belgian callsign …
I don’t remember being taught callsigns in school.
Me either.. I know we had a day of flags of the world in school, but I got bored after Argentina and winged the rest of them.
Wow, couldn’t even make it through the a’s huh?
You don’t know who Paul Max Moga is?
push this one right over to failblog … flag recognition fail
This is so racist, On behalf of all Belgians who gets mistakenly recognized as evil Germans worldwide, I demand a public apology.
Aren’t you supposed to be on that other website?
So… the Belgians are the ones looming in the Darth Vader balloon, and you want an apology that they were mistaken for Germans? You are lucky the US hasn’t sent fighters to start an international incident!! You may just want to take a step back and then casually point in the direction of Germany! lol!
And zi Germans shall point at Poland….
And then France surrenders…
Just to be on the safe side.
And the Jews refuse to take showers until the threat is neutralized.
And England starts kissing up big time to America.
Then the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor.
You know…. all this is starting to sound familiar…
Loose lips sink ships, li’l buddy.
And the Americans come in late as usual. At least in WWII they did come in slightly quicker than they did in WWI.
And than a huge foot squish the whole damn thing down and a BBC speaker says “And now for something completily different…” ah…wrong…nevermind…
YOU ARE WRONG!
this is all just a conspiracy, we belgians are taking over the world!
here’s are masterplan!
step 1: first we take 350+ days to choose a leader so that the world thinks that we are just sum dumb nation divided into two.
step2: launch a darth vader ballon and say its a german flag, then say its a balgian flag, and then sy that the german flag isn’t black-red-yellow but black-red-gold.
step 3: make a weird guy with a weird face the ‘president’ of europe.
step 4: start a world war together with the irish, crush America using beer and china using chocolate
step 5: destroy the world and start living on the sun.
since you know our 5-step masterplan to destroying the world i’m afraid i’ll have to kill you.
PS: this message will make your computer destroy in 5 seconds.
WORD
yeah germany is sooooo bad, the rest of the world is noble but germany, ooh the evil O.o
well you know they do kind of get a bad rep from the whole world war 1, 2, holocaust, hitler, gestapo & eurodisney (even if it’s in france) thing.
just to be on the safe side:
prev. post was semi-sarcastic. used to live in germany and i know they’ve made great strides to step away from the past, especially younger generations. oh and they got great beer.
and sausage. Just saying. Its frickin’ awesome.
Word. The Berliner Wiener is the best.
You do realize that Berliner Wiener is a paradoxon, as Wieners come from Wien (Vienna). Berliner sausages are Berliner.
Thus endeth today’s sausage party.
A Wiener can also be a Frankfurter, but a Berliner is a sweet deep-fried dough thing stuffed with jelly, almost like donuts. At least in south-germany. In Berlin, a berliner is called pfannkuchen (pancake). Aaaaand to come to an end, I think you mean currywurst when you say Berliner sausage?
Yeah, it was a curry sausage.
Y’know, it was actually called a ‘Berliner Wiener’ at the store I bought it from. So I didn’t really made that name up (though it sounds hilarious), just so you know.
But to be fair, I hadn’t really thought of the paradox yet.
‘berliner weißer’ is a beer
8D Yessshhh, which was very nice too. It was too funny when my mum ordered “a beer” and she got an entire liter. She got to 1/4 of the glass and then passed the rest to me. *FREE BEER YEAH*
Hmmm. Please enter your own jokes here about comparing German Sausages. Oooerrr Matron
(I must stop watching my complete collection of Carry On films. They seem to be having a bad influence. You know they wanted to build a statue at Pinewood of Kenneth Williams. They wanted the erection to be seen for miles 
I think that’s enough double entendres)
if there is something the world can agree on then it´s food
In Vienna a Berliner is simply called “Krapfen”.
The candy, wine, schnaups, chocolate and breads are pretty good too.
Let’s just face it. Germany ROCKS!
Ich bin ein deutscher Amerikaner! Seien Sie auch vorsichtig, werden die Süßigkeiten Sie drunker als 6 Zehopossums erhalten.
… you have no idea what you just said, dont you? well, sounds really funny
you said something like ‘the candies gonna be more drunk then you when you get 6 ‘zehopossums’ (no idea what that could be)
Well, considering I haven’t spoken German since I was a kid, back in 81, I had to use a translator website. And if it didn’t make sense to you, then it obviously didn’t work.
I said that I am a German American! Also, be careful, the candy will get you drunker than a 6 toe possum.
i dont exactly know what you mean by toe possum, is that some english slang? i know what a toe is and a possum… but together? o.o
Well, but i never got drunken because of candy..
I once ate too many cherry chocolates…
..and became nauseous as hell. Though I’m not sure if that was because of the liquor in it or the overload of chocolate, lol.
It’s just a country saying, referring to an animal that has no chance of walking in a straight line, IE drunk. When we first got there in Oct 77, the locals in Rodern gave us all Christmas gifts, including candy. This was passed on to my sister an I, and without knowing it, we ate the liquered up candy. And got quite drunk at the ripe age of 7.
I don’t know how old you are, or if the candy has changed since 81, but there was plenty of chocolates with liquor in them back then. Some of the best chocolate in the world, mind you, but still get you drunker than a (insert local slang here)
Yeh they have, but when they’re standing telling you all the changes that they have gone through all you’re hearing is ‘Hitler, Hitler Hitler, Hitler Hitler and Hitler with the Hitler Hitler Hitler.
Oh lord. She finally came here. This is a sad day for PK.

I suppose you mean “arriba”?
pardon bitter troll, but can bitter troll see your visa?
Make sure you get the acct number. The crazies always have the best credit and the highest limits.
we can go on shopping spree then, make sure we pick up something for charro!
Yes, we must pick out something nice for charro! Or better yet, she can come too! Yay! I love shopping with other people’s money.
YAY she come with us and buy saucey underwear
Nothing quite like lingerie and pasta sauce. “I’ll have the Teddy with the clam sauce.”
bearded clam sauce?
*prefers bald clams*
*is not terribly picky*
*they all smell fishy*
‘scuse me, ms. world, but i am of german heritage and i find your comment highly insulting. I demand you commit seppuku, it is the only way to restore your honor at this grievous wound you have struck me with your vicious type-laden tongue.
We belgian’s want justice or else we sent Jean-claude Van damme
the Muscles from Brussels !!
And if he don’t want to come we sent Guy Mortier , fear him !!
yeah a whole host of people have pointed out the flag mistake… and to queenoftheworld… a mistake on a flag isnt racism… its a mistake. im inclined to give the poster the benefit of the doubt on this because of how the flag is hanging. just like a french flag flown vertically is identical to a dutch flag.
nanana, the blue color is different.
No matter how you rotate a Belgian flag, it will never turn into a German flag. Ze order of ze kolors are just wrong and ze yellow band will still be in ze middle!
Have you noticed though that if you turn the American flag sideways you get the flag of the Galactic Commonwealth of Geographically Challenged Retards. Common mistake to make that one.
hahaha
*notes* Galatic..Commonwealth..Geographically Challenged Retards.
Can I use that one? lol
Absolute WIN!
Exposing 2 ignorant douchebags with one posting AND giving the quote of the century. I bow and draw my hat to you, sir!
I suppose you know the flags to all 50 states here in America?
wonders if they can even name all 50 states, but not getting this flag right thats just TRAGIC!!!
I know Missouri…and that’s about it.
States have flags? O.o
It helps that many states were kind enough to put the name of the state on the flag.
MUAHAHAHA!! The Hawaiian Flag still has the Union Jack on it?! In God we Trust?!? MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
It’s only a Union Jack when flown at sea. Otherwise it’s a Union Flag.
and flowers
And Mottos.

By the way, that was SC. The one here in NC is Road Under Construction.
Texas’ is “No, we don’t all carry guns, but you don’t know which of us do.”
learn to suffer
I thought it was “Sodomy is a capital crime here.”
i didnt say that the colors were in the same order… i just said i was willing to shrug it off as an innocent mistake byt the poster. and on a side note… you have a lot of balls calling other people ignorant douschebags when you use the name of a man who murdered 26 million people as your handle. jackass
A german flag turned vertically is not identical to the belgian flag.
No, but it’s kinda close. The colors are the same, just in a different order.
No benefit of the doubt; no matter how you hang the flag, the order of color is always wrong.
we must find the poster and BEAT THEM for such a tragic mistake!!!!
Oh, honestly, it’s a fvcking flag! Of all the things to jump on this person for not knowing, it’s a fvcking flag! Do Europeans really get that bent out of shape about a goddamned flag????
No, they just like to boost their ego by bashing others.
I ones drew a US flag with 7 stripes in the states . . . almost got killed for that
My cousin’s son drew a Danish and an American flag in honor of my visiting the family. I was touched, and didn’t care that he got the number of stars/stripes wrong. I put that little (incorrect) flag in my window when I was back home, for July 4th, and then on 9/11/01.
Not all Americans are sh1ts, any more than are all members of any country. Although some posters on this page need to take a chill pill already!
You shouldn’t lecture others if you’re just as ignorant when it comes to flags. There is absolutely no way to confuse the U.S. flag with that or Puerto Rico. And I know that was an illustration, but, regardless, it still makes you ignorant. Plus, how many flags look almost identical to the flag of the U.S.? None that I can think of. Whereas many, many European flags look so similar that they’re easy to misidentify. Oh, yeah, WE DON’T GIVE A SH*T!! GO PEDDLE YOUR CONCEIT SOMEWHERE ELSE, FU(KNUTS!!
What about the Liberian or the Malaysian flag (yes I know, the US are only one with 50 Stars and 13 Bars (I’m European and I know that!!))
or how the beligan flag in a blurry photo and in the shadow of a giant balloon that distorts the color in a crappy photo could also look like an ethiopian, hungarian, kuwait, jordan, niger, palestine, united arab emirates or yemen flag…
i mean sheish. how narrow minded
HEY GUYZ ITZ NOT TEH GERMAN FLAG ITZ TEH BELGI–
Oh. Never mind. It was only stated 6 times before. [/sarcasm]
Best comment WIN
Is that the German flag?
Actually, no. It’s the Belgian flag.
…
…Why do I get a strange sense of déja vu?
I have no idea.
Say, is that the German flag?
That’s no moon….
IT´S A TRAP!
Get an axe!
i have an +5 dagger of ogre slaying, but first i’m going to get drunk in the in. oh, are there girls there? ‘cuz if there’s girls there, I WANNA DOOO THEM!!
any of you guys want some mountain dew?
No, but I have some doritos to share!
that’s not darth vader idiots.
win.
hey learn your flags! that’s a Belgian flag, not a German one!
Hey is that a Belgian flag?
No, it’s a French one.
That’s a Rainbow Coalition flag! Look out, Jesse Jackson has completed his secret weapon!
Eh, same difference.
now the world will see the true power of this fully armed and operational hot air balloon…for ger..-coughs- for BELGIAN!
*gasp* No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not the hot air balloon!!!!!!
you wish a different target? a military target? then name the system!!!
They are on the forest moon of Endor. Make sure you get every single one of those furry bastards while you’re at it. Those things scare the crud outta me.
forrest moon-writes it down- endore…all dressed like teddy bears…before we strike let us move the entire gungan population to that planet as well…
Yes! Every last one of them. Make sure you don’t leave any around to procreate!
See boys and girls, genocide can be fun as long as it’s fictional peoples!
What? Too far?
YAY GUNGAN GENOCIDE!!!!!
fire when ready!
-insert deathstar shooting scene here-
i heard a powerful voice…like a million teddy bears and jamacan fish monsters crying out in terror…then silence..
“i heard a powerful voice…like a million teddy bears and jamacan fish monsters crying out in terror…then silence..”
Yeah, Build-A-Bear declared bankruptcy.
ROFLMAO!
It’s filled with Troll flatulence…
I just threw up a little in my mouth.
I would imagine that would resemble the Bog if Eternal Stench.
Or the bathroom after bean night in the bayou.
Every Monday is red beans and rice day. Every Tuesday is bring a gas mask to work day. Now I see the connection.
Popping the heads of a few live crawdads and sucking them up will do that too.
Um, we’re not that weird. We boil the crawfish first. Then it’s pinch the tails and suck da heads baby!
say suck the heads a lil slower
I’ve seen a guy sucking em live. EVERY time I see one now, I think back to that. And struggle not to barf. Question, do the things taste like lobster?
It’s not crawfish season, so it doesn’t matter anyway. I long for Mardi Gras…
Every time I have them they taste like the seasoning they’re boiled in. And then you can’t taste anything for about 48 hours because you’ve burnt all the tastebuds off your tounge.
And I’ve lived in LA for nearly my whole life and have NEVER seen someone suck on a live crawfish head. Maybe he lost a bet or something?
NO WATCH OUT HOGGLE!
The stench!
wha? this is how bitter troll always smells
it cant be french, the balloon looks intimidating
Albuquerque balloon fiesta!

Well, dillweed, I know perfectly well what the balloon fiesta is since I have flown there. What I was referring to was the fact that there is nothing else in the picture to even give a clue where it was taken.
Secondly, all balloons flying at the fiesta have a placard with a number on it. Now, that may be a placard on the gondola, but really, it’s so small you can’t really tell. So again, how can you be sure this was taken in Albuquerque?
Because you’re a douche.
Gee, just the sort of mature answer I would expect from someone with the name you have chosen… :rolls:
:rolls:
Then he is imitating you!
So that would make you what, a colon cleaner?
I’m sorry, because calling someone a dillweed is so-ooo mature.
Only because of the arrogance in the comment “Google is your friend”. Had that not been tossed out there like I was some dumbass, then the dillweed would have been dropped. Further to that, why did YOU feel the need to even comment? Not that I don’t welcome replies, but you added absolutely nothing to the discussion, did you? No, you only threw out your insult. Good on ya, mate.
There are two reasons I would agree with Simon about the picture being in Albuquerque.
1. The placard reads 00-BQZ, so it does fly the placard you speak of. There are other pictures of the balloon flying without the placard.
2. The last scheduled flight of the Darth Vader balloon did, in fact, take place in Albuquerque at said festival earlier this month. Therefore, it would stand to reason, assuming that this is a recent picture, that the photo was indeed taken in Albuquerque, NM on or around October 8, 2009.
I wasn’t trying to insult your intelligence by saying Google is your friend. That is where I got the information that led me to believe the picture was taken there.
b/c I was there
GEOGRAPHY FAIL
Really VictoryNotVengeance? Does Belgium need to be scared of those fighters from the US? So they can invade another country and start another war they can’t win? I think Belgium will take it’s changes, btw we don’t even have any bullets left, we so poor, but we’ve got balls of steel. AND we’ve got a Darth Vader balloon, hurray, fear us!
I have no idea man. It was a joke aimed at the US for their attitude at preemptive striking. I do wish our country had a Darth Vader balloon. Want the Statue of Liberty in exchange? We’re not using it.
The reply button is your friend.
YAY! It works^^
“we don’t even have any bullets left, we so poor, but we’ve got balls of steel”
Will you be throwing those balls of steel, along with any kitchen utensils and farm implements you don’t need, at the U.S. bombing drones?
No one would DARE invade Belgium. They’re the robot capital of the world!
No. No one would invade Belgium because it’s the most boring bloody country in Europe
They wouldn’t invade even for the waffles?
Or the beer?
Personally, I would totally do some pillaging for good waffles, beer, and chocolate. No full-scale invasion necessary. You in, VK?
If only you make sure to stay away from Dutch property, or I’ll sick Wilders on you! (though if you only’d pass by accidentally to bring me some waffles, I’d consider looking the other way)
HelonWheels, I’m in! –and will be sure to pass those waffles to Miss Fit on our pillaging way past!
*runs off to find her Viking helmet and pillaging boots*
Ready! I’m willing to spare Dutch property in exchange for some “protection” payments: a kilo of their finest herb.
Two kilos of our finest herbs are ready for take-off. Come ‘n gitit, mateys.
Let’s put the invasion of Belgium on the back burner. Instead – Let’s Invade Holland, it’s flat, it has a small army, and its rules on Pot are a hell of a lot less severe than anyone else
No, no, Miss Fit. “Herb” as in marijuana, not “herbs” as in basil.
No worries, I got it the first time.
Most of the time weed’s conversation starter #1 when I’m talking to foreigners (that sounds so… lame, but non-Dutch people is what I mean) Sorry, my grammar still isn’t quite polished, but I’m learning.
That’s kinda sad but I understand. When I’m outside of the U.S. people say “Oh, Al Capone, bang, bang” or “Michael Jordan” or “Oprah” when they find out I’m from Chicago. I feel your pain.
And there is nothing wrong with your English:
“You speak very good English. Well done.
Bordered by four countries?
Yes, I know. Problems in land wars.”
XD Niiiice quote. And thank you.
Oohh, Chicago, eh? That’s awesome. *jealous* I always think about what it’d be like to live in a big city. I mean, Amsterdam’s got around 760 000 people – that’s like a big suburb for you, right? xD
How’s that sound? I’ll try to smuggle a small present with me then.
One day, one day and I’ll come and visit you.
BORING ???? :O
we’ve got BEER !!! ( and so we may drink it at 16)
the so called “french” fries are invented HERE!
and we’ve got Freddy Dekerpel !!–> he doesn’t do push ups , he pushes the earth down !
Belgium Rulezzzzz !
Run! Run from the Belgians! They will kill us all with zer chocolate and waffles!
They can drop some waffles on me out of their Darth Vader balloon. I will gladly accept my punishment.
and some coffee too please…
Tell Canada to send more maple syrup.
We’re on it!
*bombs filled with maple syrup drop from the sky, and just before impact, little parachutes fly out, to land softly next to the plate of waffles*
We’re a peaceful country donchaknow.
Are you sure you want coffee dumped on you from a hot air balloon? That doesn’t sound very pleasant.
Starbucks would still charge for that.
And an extra $5 for the delivery fee…
The cup still says “caution: contents may be hot,” so they take no liability for severe burns after dumping it on your head.
Flag appreciation failure!!!
I totally appreciate German flags
Actually, I’m having trouble making out the exact colors… Could be French, Italian, or Irish. But either my eyes are really that bad, or the coloring is either faded, or the sun is setting. Either way, this is pretty mediocre.
good… I see I don’t need to comment about the “German” flag…
Sure you can. Just to make sure that EVERYONE got it.
…and will hopefully refrain from posting it themselves.
Its a Belgium flag…. E P I C F A I L!
Hey I thought it was a Belgian flag.
N O S H I T ! ! !
wait…is that a belgian flag?
cause bitter troll can ID all the flags of the nation just by looking at a semi blurry photo of them
Yes, because the photo is so semi blurry that you cannot make out the order of three big coloured bars.
Also, the blurry photo made you so dizzy you couldn’t type “black yellow red flag” into google and check the nationality before high fiving yourself in the forehead for having such a brilliant caption.
Then fall asleep to the teletubbies.
But shouldn’t google know that it’s a Belgian flag?
google didnt write the caption!
Wow. You are so from getting the simple point, I don’t even have anything clever to say here but …
wow!
Life must be really simple for you.
thats right! well bitter troll cant, bitter troll does not have interweb access.
perhaps funny maker is colorblind….that makes him a witch…LETS BURN HIM!!! or her…
“bitter troll does not have interweb access.”
Brain cannot process this information. Does not compute.
-pokes mina with a stick-
is a cute t-1000
That would be the second time in a few weeks that you’ve poked me with a stick BT. I’m going to get a complex.
well bitter troll has this stick, what else is bitter troll suppost to do with it? bitter troll has no marshmellows
I will behave myself. I will behave myself. I will behave myself. I will behave myself…
But why should you behave yourself? We would all enjoy watching the results of miss-behavior!
Who is Miss Information. Is she related to Miss Iles and Miss Adventure??
*puts down gas can and lighter* Oh man. You are SUCH a spoilsport.
Weeeeeeell, okay. Just this once.
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee *pours gas, throws burning piece of paper at Rando.* {fawhoooooom} Hahahahhaahahahahhahahahaha!
Yeah, burn him! He turned me into a newt!
(Or she… whichever… You know what I mean.)
If she weighs the same as a duck she’s made of wood. And therefore…
(s)he’s a witch! Burn him/her!
what do you burn besides witches?
MORE WITCHES!
-sighs-…
Hey, I’m an evil Catholic. We burned all kinds of people.
but did you bring the marshmellows?
Well of course! It’s not a heretic roast with out the marshmellows!
Dinner?
No!! That would make it a Heretic Pot Roast
Is blasphemy one of the ingredients?
your picture is on the wrong site..

This is the only part of that post that I actually saw, bitter troll.
should i fear now the Belgians because of their evil Darth Vader balloon or can i feel save because i live in evil germany?
Weeeelll, historically speaking… I’d say that you should start packing your bags a.s.a.p. You can come to us Dutch. We always try to be neutral.
Yeah, but you guys have been overrun in land wars so many times I don’t know if that move’s the best idea.
*snerk* My history colleague points out that my Danish ancestors didn’t pick their land mass well, just like the Dutch. No mountain ranges in the way to slow down the Germans…
Oh, but we have… dykes.
And you know what we can do with those dykes (this sounds so wrong, but I mean the giant sandpiles here, not… mothers-in-law and stuff)? We can STAB ‘em so they begin to leak! See, we Dutch can be cool, it’d be like a Kamikaze action.
It stopped the Spaniards a few centuries ago, fo’ sho. So if the Germans are ever so inclined to try it again, then we’ll just do it again. Doesn’t matter that the whole agriculture will fall flat on its butt, we will beat the Evil-doers! Muahahahaaaa.
…Did I go too far? I probably should mention that I love Germany, especially Berlin. Niiiice city.
“Hello, Amsterdam?
You speak very good English. Well done.
Bordered by four countries?
Yes, I know. Problems in land wars.”
- Eddie Izzard
and we Belgians haven’t forget that ! XD
WIN, dude^^
oh, and btw: http://www.darthvaderballoon.be/en/index.html
Hmph, Belgians.. can’t decide if they’re German or French.. History classes must be interesting.
Most of us are flemish…
Try coughing.. that should help.
Golly, the Belgian folks seem really sensitive. Or are they just defensive, because they really are evil? Hmmm????
I suppose I should now go study the flags of all the Central American, South American and African countries (in addition to any regional flags – I can’t even recognize all of the individual state flags within the US). We (that’s all of us) USians are so rude, arrogant and ignorant we don’t even know what the Canadian flag looks like (I think it has a bug on it? Or something about hockey? Wait, a tree – it’s some kind of tree thing…).
Isn’t it a marijuana leaf?
No, that’s the unofficial Dutch flag. We wanted it to be our national flag but Balkenende (Dutch PM and Harry Potter-lookalike) wouldn’t let us. Twat.
LMAO. You’re funny. I like you. You should visit here more often.
Why thank you, kind sir. (or… lady. Err, you pick) I will be sure to do so.
..If my study books will ever let me. >_>
No, the Canadian government stole the idea for the flag from the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team. Bastards.
They should have stayed with the hockey puck on the flag. Or the moose, they’re noble animals.
And moose tend to have such a nice rack. And we all know how everyone likes a nice rack!
But then there’s always the beaver……..
You want to represented by a rodent? And, let’s be honest, the dirty jokes that flag/symbol would inspire would be never-ending. You should rethink that.
So, it’s not a bug then?
Yeah, like it’s OUR fault the Belgian flag just happens to have the same colors as Germany (albeit in a different order).
The Belgians haven’t even decided if they have the right order yet.
Quoting an article published (originally in Dutch) in De Standaard, 2 November 1999:
Black, yellow, red, starting from the pole. That’s how we’ve always known the Belgian flag. But if you read the Constitution, this isn’t correct, says Karel Rimanque, professor at the University of Antwerp. Article 193 of the so often revised Constitution still says:
The Belgian Nation chooses as its colours red, yellow and black.
Rimanque: “In 1830 too, they used to describe the flag starting from the pole. Thus, our flag is different: red at the pole, yellow in the middle, and black at the fly.” Does this mean that the Constitution has been broken for all 168 years? Was it interpreted wrongly at the beginning and did nobody ever notice the error? “Anyway, either we have to correct this article, or we have to correct our flag.” says Karel Rimanque.
It would seem to me that a lot of people have gotten bent out of shape over this one. Where the hell did all these people come from?
meh mostly people looking for a reason to say FAIL!!!!
Eurotrash that doesn’t understand that their nations are smaller than a heck of a lot of our states. It’s usually the same crowd that wants us all to drive a lunch box with a weedeater engine in it.
hitler loved those kinda cars too
Those turds probably couldn’t name any of the states flags without looking them up, either. But they expect us to know the flags of nations that can be driven across with less than a tank of fuel.
ifen it was a large nation or powerful nation, or one that gets in the news alot…bitter troll can understand…but belgiam? the waffle country? sorry..bitter troll can understand the mistake.
just people with nothing better then wanting to point at the screen and scream FAIL FAIL FAIL AHAHAHAH IM SMARTER THEN YOU HAHA FAIL FAIL HAHA IM WIN AND YOUR FAIL AND I HAVE A TINY PENIS FAIL FAIL HAHAH
Hey now, its passes the work day! Well… except for having the tiny penis part. That passes the evening!
Well, you know what they say, VNV, more than a mouthful’s a waste, anyway. Oh, wait. That’s boobs. Never mind.
I would imagine that works both ways. Though most guys don’t complain when more than a mouth full is present.
Quick! What does Luxembourg’s flag look like? You DON’T KNOW?! Then you’re an arrogant, ignorant, stupid American, you pig!!!*
*I have no idea what their flag looks like.
You know, if so many countries’ flags weren’t so boring, it would be easier. I like Mozambique’s flag. Any flag with a book, a hoe, and a AK-47 on it is fairly memorable.
Dude, that is fairly badass.
The only way to improve it would be to make it Booker T, a ho, and an AK-47.
Booker T? But can we fit ALL the MG’s on there with him?
Plus, I had no idea that Darth Vader was Belgian.
Hmm? That would make for a pretty hilarious flag. Darth Vaders Helmet crossed with the Manniken Pis
.
heeeeey , not nice
i know some states with their flags * very very sad now*
:p
FAIL!
FAIL! SEE IM WITTY OVER THE INTERNET BY POINTING OUT SOMEONE ELSE”S MISTAKE AND TELLING THEM ITS A FAIL!! THAT MAKES ME WIN!!! IM SO WITTY!!! IM SO CLEVER!! IM WIN!!! GOD IM SO LONELY!!! PLEASE GOD KILL ME!!!
I feel pretty,
Oh, so pretty,
I feel pretty and witty and bright!
Only during the day. At night she’s bright.
And I pity
Any troll who isn’t me
Tonight!
It’s a pretty cool balloon actually, where ever it came from.
belgium………..
FAIL ! It’s the belgian flag and not the german !
but I thought it was a Belgian flag.
It’s actually Montana’s flag. Everyone is wrong.
Actual, it’s the flag of the 51st state of the USA: YOU MOMMAS ASS!
You want to drop Belgian chocolate and waffles? And nobody talks about Belgian Beer?
“Do you want some chocolate? It’s from Belgium. That’s where Daddy’s from.”
*snort*
Dang, need a new screen protector.
The people at Billy Mays’ office told me that they would soon be back to shipping new ones again. Let me know when you get yours!
“I meant to do that. We used to do it in Belgium. It’s called a Belgian Dip.”
Budweiser?
I was wondering if Belgian beers would be mentioned. They aren’t as famous as German beers, of course, but from what I hear (from a friend who went to Belgium for two weeks) they’re still great beers.
They’re mostly peculiar, really. :p
XD You tit… that’s not a German flag. German is black-red-gold, not black-gold-red.
I think I should just post that in the fail section…
I think you should read the 30 comments before you that say the exact same thing.
Which one is the bigger fail?
Getting a flag wrong or being to lazy to read a few comments.
I agree with Care Troll.. looks to me like you’re the bigger tit for not bothering to read the other posts. Speaking of fail.. that would be you.
your now captain of the fail boat, the darth vader head flying man can drop bags of doggie doo on you from above
Not me, that’s an assignment I refuse to take on.. However, veracose.. um, I mean verenoea can be captain.
ICE BURGE DEAD AHEAD!!!
raming speed!
aye, aye Captain.. full speed ahead!
Ramming speed, Scotty!
You can’t push her any faster Jim!!!11!!!
im giving it all she’s got captain, we canna go no faster..the hamster in the lil wheel is at the breaking point
Spock! Take the helm..
Sometimes if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.
NO YOU FOOL! in space no one can hear you overact!
Oh for God’s sake, Scotty! Take the f*cking brake off.. that poor hamster nearly killed itself trying to make that wheel turn!
captain i canna do it! im dead!!!
The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the engineer.
but the engeneer outweights the many!
But he’s dead Jim..:eyesroll:
Wow, I don’t think varenoea is going to bother to make any more comments.
It would make one rethink their position, wouldn’t it?However, I venture to guess that at some point in time, veracose will be back with another example of wit and wisdom. We will be prepared though!
bitter troll is eating beans for the event
Beans, beans, the charmed legume. Eat a pot and clear the room.
…in case another flag’s identity is disgustingly abused.
so? makes bitter troll laugh
I’m sorry. You lost me after “bigger tit.”
You fail. You fail hard.
We. Don’t. CARE!!!!!!
Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick, our health care debates don’t get as pissy as these people. And where are they all coming from??? Did someone call Belgium’s capital and declare a state of emergency over it? “Quickly, all Belgians, we have been called Germans by some silly American website! Get on your computers and tell them where to go! All of you, now!!”
It’s their covert ops lurkers. Don’t tempt them or they may be here all the time.
Yes, but we will know by the smell of waffles in the air..
We don’t even know the caption was made by an American.
You’d think they’d be happy just to be in our thoughts at all, but no they have to piss and moan too.
Impressive how ignorance can be “front cover” on the internet.
In America, there is an entire News network dedicated to it.
Hey, I will stand up for your right to watch MSNBC regardless of what they say is news.
Its cool. I don’t watch TV.
In his defense, he didn’t say which network he was talking about.
I did that on purpose!
Trying to not troll!
I just assumed he meant E.
It’s not a german balloon.
rly?
please take a look at the picture again and read all the comments.
Actually you’re right.. It’s a Star-Wars baloon..
That’s not a baloon. That’s a fully armed and operational moon.
Belgium. Not Germany.
Why does the world still hate us germans?
We know!!!! Drop it already, people!!!
how many millions of people did the germans murder?
Eleventy.
bitter troll knows if germany killed bitter trolls grampy, bitter troll would be very bitter
grampy died in normal troll way, slain by a adventures
Sorry ’bout that – needed the XPs.
ARRRGH!! It’s a troll!! I must say the magic words “XYZZY”
Well, if we count the WWII deaths as being “caused by the germans” we get around 50 million.
If we acknowledge Marx as a German, and then count the depredations of those nations most influenced by Marxism/Communism, USSR+China we add another 70 million, not counting Cuba, North Korea, Tibet, Angola, Vietnam, Cambodia, and so on and so forth…
Cool! Can I blame the thirty or so millions who didn’t make it well through the anarcho-Capitalism in 90′s Russia, on Adam Smith or Milton Friedman? What about the ‘desaparecidos’ in Chile?
Not without fudging your math by an order of magnitude or so. Of course, that’s what Marxism is all about… failing mathematics, economics, and psychology in one beautiful moment of cognitive dissonance.
The rapid decline in living standards and life expectancy, the severalfold increase in homicide and suicide rates, not to mention the plummeting industrial and agricultural output – all in the name of the free market, mind you, and with heavy endorsement from several international (American, that is) bodies – is documented. (Actually, I can’t really be bothered to gather the information on the net. “He that hath ears to hear…”)
But does that automatically invalidate market economy? Or does actually the hasty and negligent implematation (one could well make a case that it was criminally so) of market reforms?
Oh, and I apologise – the tone I striked was a bit nasty. But I wasn’t approving of violent Russification or Marxism or whatever you must have thought – judging by your subsequent comment – that I was approving of. I was simply trying to put things into perspective – the free market – especially and foremost unrestrained capitalism – has claimed its toll as well, yet everyone seems to be ok with it.
Btw, yours taking exception to my “maths” smacks of ethical relativism.
*implementation
I love you Germans. But don’t you wish Germany had a giant Darth Vader balloon? Huh? Huh? Come on? Not even a little?
Liar!!
sie hassen uns nicht, sie ziehen uns nur dafür auf… wir sind wenigstens so sozial und ziehen sie nicht mit ihren sklaverei geschichten /mao ze dung (oder so?
) und sonstigen diktatoren auf.. dabei haben die itaken mindestens genauso viele umgebracht 
Hate you not pull, it us only for that on… we are us at least so social and are pulling stacked hired it not with its slaveries /mao zen (or so? : D) and other dictators on.. at the same time the itaken killed at least just as many: D
looooooooool
Epic fail upon all those who a) did not read the other numerous comments on the flag and posted something about it being yes, Belgian, and b) don’t get the HUMOR!!!! of saying that it was funny that it was from Germany (even tho it was indeed a mistake and was from Belgium)
For the sake:
It’s a belgium Flag!
Btw. It can’t be a german flag because the black is next to the red in the german flag. You can spin this flag as much as you want, but you wont’t get the black next to the red.
awareness….did you like..>READ ALL THE FRIGGEN POSTS BEFORE YOU???? NO???AWARENESS???? NOPE
not a good sign, when morons think the belgium flag is germany. do your research please?
This caption was made by a frenchman.
bitter troll thought the german flag was red, with big swirly thing on it
Research complete and the conclusion is, we don’t give a flying f*ck at the moon. Now get the hell off my lawn you f*cking twit.
we do however own the moon..we was there first, its OURS
BT, you know JFK faked that entire moon landing thing? Right?
No, the Moon landing was real… it was JFK who was fake. An android. That’s why the guys from Star Trek had to come back in time and shoot him.
That actually explains a few things.
Sorry!! Wrong!! As anyone knows Lister, Rimmer, Kryten and the Cat took Kennedy back from a future America to shoot himself, thus preserving the timestream.
And BTW I thought Wallace and Gromit did it first??
Then why can you see all the stuff left on the moon with telescopes?
Shoot, you’re right.. ok, how about, uhm.. let’s see.. Oh, I’ve got it!!
We don’t give a flying f*ck at Uranus. Now get the hell off my lawn you f*cking twit/
Is that better?
wha? NOT SOME SILLY HOOMAN IN TIN CAN!!!
trolls use magic
I just wish SOMEONE, SOMEONE would point out that there is a MISTAKE and that this is NOT a German FLAG!!11!1!!elebenty!11!! WHY HAS NO ONE ALREADY SAID THIS!?!?!?!?!?!
We didn’t want to frighten you.
What about this? The light makes the middle part SEEM yellow while in reality it is white. black/white/red are the old national colors of Germany.
Uh, yeah, that’s not the German flag. Clearly you are a product of the American education system.
Since you missed the last 100 comments noting that, what does that say about your education?
Don’t you just love how all the Euro trash assumes this caption was made by an American. It’s not like Europe has ever made a mistake. Or started a few wars. No, no troubles at all.
The fact that you use the term “Euro trash” (which is a term for cheesy Eurpoean dancefloor / techno music btw., but surely you know that since you appear to be an expert) already shows you are an ignorant American citizen, living in a trailer park midwest somewhere.
And when it comes to wars, that’s right, since America is simply a European colony, barely 500 years old that was founded by slaughering the native population with weapons and diseases (aka Genocide, look it up), then proceeded to declare war on anybody it didn’t like and has had more morons for president than Iran, you are probably right.
We have you beat on wars. And culture. And variety. And …
What’s the use. You won’t understand it anyways.
Ahh, you just beat me to it. But chill man, no need to throw poo right back at ‘em. However offending his ‘Euro-trash’ generalizations may be, this won’t make him start thinking otherwise about it (not sure if my own comment will, but whatevs).
To sum it all up; can we please put our weapons and prejudice down and be all good, good friends?
..No?
*sighs* Well, it’s human nature I guess..
Show me yours, I show you mine! Then maybe we could be friends…k?
*feigning ignorance while shoving rocket launcher back under table* What, my prejudice?
Funny, you are the one that didn’t understand the original. And it shows you are the trash, assuming me, or anyone lives in trailer park “in the midwest somewhere,” when my Screen name references the Carolinas. To dumb to know where that is on a map, eh?
And FTR, I live in a nice brick home, in a quaint Carolina small town. And as for the genocide you so righteously declare, you only need to look outside your window, as Europe is full of it too. BTW, I’m Cherokee and German. And the native part of my ancestry has declared war almost as much as you Euro trash people have.
The only culture I have seen come out of Europe in the last 25 years is a bad fungus.
Dude, would you please just stop with the “Euro trash”? We Europeans are really quick to be deeply offended y’know. And this hurts my soul, truly hurts my soul.
Btw, I didn’t assume this was made by an American. You, too, should stop assuming that Europeans are all the same, trash-talking about Americans and thinking we’re better than you and stuff. I am very well aware that European countries (including my own; slave trade and stuff isn’t really a bright page full of flowers in our history books) haven’t made mistakes. Or started a few wars.
D’OH. I meant, “HAVE made mistakes.” That’s what I get for thinking I was able to form more complex sentences in another language.
Haha, this is just throwing more gasoline in the fire, eh. Now Justacarolinian is entirely right in assuming we Euro trash are stuck-up, ignorant brats.
I’m so used to reading student essays that I didn’t even see the grammar mistake! (has a sad).
“Eurotrash” has a more specific meaning for me than it apparently has for justa. For me it means overly wealthy young college students from Europe who are going to college in the USA, spending all of their time clubbing and shopping rather than with their studies.
Actually VG, that’s exactly the kind that would spout off at the mouth. Wouldn’t you think?
Actually, Europeans are just like people everywhere else in the world. Some good, some bad. It’s the trashy ones that spout off like every European is more intelligent, ect…. than the rest of the world. Whining because an assumed American wrongly identified the Belgian flag as German, on a picture that isn’t the best, between 2 flags that can be mistaken at a glance. The same trash that couldn’t identify any of the American State’s flags, except the ones with a name in them. (States that are quite often larger than the country they live in)
And how many European provincial flags could you identify? How relevant do you feel the answer is to indicating your intelligence? That’s about how relevant US state flags are to most of the other 200 or so nations of the World.
The point is more about how a population the size of a state seems to think it’s more important than the entire American Nation. The same ones usually who think that every one in America lives in trailer parks, and is inbred.
That’s the thing; whether or not Belgium supplies troops to an international peace-keeping mission is more relevant to anyone outside the USA than whether or not some of the US contingent are, say, Texans.
One, it was sarcasm, two, it was a lot more than three or four people.
One, you seem to use the same sarcastic argument a lot. Two, you are right – it were actually six of ‘em who specifically mentioned America. And a lot calling people just stupid in general, not referring to America. Then again, we could be counting in favour for our own arguments, eh?
It wasn’t just this lol, but the last several. And as for the repeated use, that was actually a play on all the repeated comments about stupid Americans, when it was clearly stated over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over…..
Ahh, well.. I haven’t checked other lols because I was so obsessed with this one, haha. Well, it’s something you have to get used to, I guess. As one of the main players in the game of world politics, there will always be many ignorant people calling you names without knowing what they’re talking about. And as for the ‘big-states’-overuse, that explains it then.
Perhaps paradoxically, the Eurotrash thing hurts my Russian soul as well.
Maybe that’s because a part of Russia is in Europe and there is a 75% probability that you are from the European part?
Or maybe it’s because Soviet Russia basically trashed half of Europe, and that pain is the ache of nostalgia?
Dude, are you serious? 95% likely the post was made by an American. And what the hell does a PK post have to do with wars? Or calling others trash? No wonder we are looked down upon by other countries. Because that’s the attitude we always seem to present.
I thought you said you were Canadian. Make up my mind.
It really is remarkable that you don’t actually react to VictoryNotVengeance’s post – who does have a point, actually. Though I have met enough cool and nice Americans to conclude that it’s just a few that are spoiling it for the rest and I don’t look down on them. You should do the same with us Europeans, too.
The only Europeans I look down on are the French.. And as I’ve said before, the only thing worse than a Frenchman is a Frenchman living in Canada.
Aww, give the French some credit… They’re lovers, not fighters! It isn’t called ‘The Country Of Love’ for nothing, right?
Actually, I do. The original post was responding to the Europeans that make themselves trash with the unfounded insults. As far as VNV, he and I banter back and forth all the time. Sometimes just joshing, sometimes eyeball ripping.
Look at how many Europeans assumed this caption was made by an American, when none of us know. The same Europeans that couldn’t tell the difference between Boston and Atlanta if their life depended on it.
Ah, sorry. I won’t interfere in your playful banter then, that’s your business.
But really, there weren’t that much comments who specifically refer back to Americans as the ones posting this lol, or calling Americans stupid, or look down on the American educational system. And like I said, I don’t agree with them at all. They’re being ignorant.
I also understand where you’re coming from with that those people have no right to call Americans stupid when they’re most probably not able to name American state flags themselves. Or all Asian flags. Or African flags. Doesn’t matter.
But, I’m just saying that there’s no need to call an entire continent ‘trash’. Because, that really is the way you were sounding in earlier comments. I’m not sure if you meant it that way because you contradict yourself in some comments, but that’s for you to decide. Besides that – show the few ignorant Europeans here that they’re wrong, and don’t react in such a bitter, childish way. Be the grown-up here, and show ‘em what a true American is made of!
And now I have a fairly decent proposal – let’s end this silly discussion and let’s be pals. What do ya say? Shake hands on it?
*pases a braut* Sure. Please don’t forget what I said about just being sarcastic, it was a joke.
I actually hope to return to Germany, loved it while I was there.
Here is the link to a town named after one of my ancestors. (At least that is what I was told when we went there on a Volksmarch)
http://www.lingenfeld.de/

Alright alright, I forgive you then. XD
Ahh, Lingenfeld, that’s a bit into the south of Germany, right? Cute little village. Cool that it’s named after your ancestors; are they the ones who have founded it then, as well?
Even though I should detest Germany according to the rules of soccer (the Netherlands and Germany are sworn arch enemies when it’s about that. Don’t know why either) I quite love it as well, especially Berlin. I have visited it for the second time recently, and it was a whole new experience. Have you ever been there?
*sings Kumbaya* Yes, I lived there 4 years. (also would have had to been there to Volksmarch there) And I can barely remember the story, but the town was named after one of my ancestors. How or why? I don’t remember, it was 1977 or 78 when I was told.
Oh, and that rivalry about the Football, that is sort of what was going on with my little skit……
I think the rivalry between Germany and the Netherlands in football (it’s football, NOT soccer!
) is a (late) result of WW 2. But now it just chilled down and fans of either side are just mocking each other, just like friends mock each other sometimes. Personally, I like the Netherlands (the country, not the football team 
) and all dutch people I have met so far were pretty nice and cool people. 
It’s Soccer, in the minds of all native English speakers except the inbred Chavs who make up the majority of British Soccer fans.
What you refer to as “football” should be called “Handegg”, because players carry a thing that looks like an egg with their hands.
What I refer to as football should still be called “football”, because players kick a ball with their feet.
Also, it’s called “football” in nearly every other language (translated of course).
Big clue- in Rugby Football (either code, and all short variations of Union) you can kick the ball, or pick it up and carry it. What you can not do is carry it to a convenient position and then kick it from there during a passage of play. AIUI the same applies to American and Aussie Rules.
Also, in sport, a “ball” need not be a sphere (source Collins).
No reply button on paws4thot’s post, so I have to reply to my own post.
That’s just it. You CAN kick the ball, but a majority of the time you CARRY it in your HANDS. In Football/Soccer, you kick the ball the majority of the time while only the goalkeeper is allowed to pick it up with his hands and only in a very small area of the field. You wouldn’t call Handball “Football” because the goalie can touch the ball with his foot to make a save, would you?
If your logic applied it should be Rugby Handball.
And don’t sweat the lack of “reply” buttons; we’re out of nesting levels, which happens a lot here.
Sorry dude, I ALWAYS mix them. My bad. But I figured that since there’s also something like football in America, which isn’t the football I meant (if you know what I mean — gah, this is getting too confusing), I use the term ‘soccer’ most of the time, to avoid confusion.
…Not that it helped. >_> But at least you know what I mean. And thanks for the compliment! Though it was not directed to me but to my fellow countrymen in general of course. xD
You’re probably right, but I also like to think that it’s because of the European Championship football game of 1988 – though the rivalry was already there before that, of course.
See my reply to paws4thot above. I just refuse to call the sport we are talking about “soccer”. ^^
And would you know the difference between the flags of Australia and New Zealand? Quick, and no Googling..
Nesting fail? This was meant for Cookie..
Nice one, Eddie. Those two are easily confused.
No. I wouldn’t without googling.
But then again I wouldn’t just assume one and make a caption showing I live in a trailer park withoug googling it first.
That is the point you seem to be missing. But thank you for playing.
i guess it´ll be a while still b4 we realize we´re all on the same planet and borders were a bad invention.. i hope darth oscar oscar vader will help us see this transgression sometime b4 its all past caring for.
Darth, cleared to land zero one center.
Immer schön zu sehen wie ihr alle hier auf Failblog diskutiert. Darum liebe ich euch. Damit kann man den ganzen verfickten Arbeitstag rumkriegen. Sehr schön! Nice one!
Recht haste
Ok, I’m going to try to translate this, but my German skills are a bit rusty (almost 30 years worth of rust and they weren’t that great to begin with):
“Always nice to see how all you guys* here at Failblog [word I don't know]. That’s why I love you guys. That’s how one can [word I don't know but it starts with rum! Yay!] it through the entire [a word I'm afraid of] workday. Very nice!”
*If you’re from one of those places that uses “you all” please substitute “all” here – not a criticism, just saying. Likewise if you prefer “youse” or “yinz” in place of “you”.
Almost complete, let me help you out:
Always nice to see what all you guys here at Failblog are discussing/arguing about. That’s why I love you guys. One can spend a whole [common swear word] workday in reading that.
Regardless of the flag, the baloon itself is epic win…
Not to stretch this issue, but it is indeed a belgian flag, and a belgian balloon. If you look at the registration on the right, you can tell…
Belgian Civil aircraft registrations always start with 00-xxxx…
heh , stop about the flag , its belgian look at the registartion numbers : it starts with”OO—-” what means its belgian , BUt BELGIANS ARE WORSE!! Dutch+French oh oh the world is doomed , the apocalypse is near!
Yeeeah, we Dutch have, like, cheese and stuff.
And the French have like, baguettes.
Together that would make… a HUGE-ASS cheese-sandwich!! *GASP* Fear us, mortals.
Oh, btw; the flag being Belgian was pointed out already- about a gazillion times. Now, if you don’t want to be burned down I suggest you go and hide yourself, because there have already fallen victims.
Mmmmm…A Dutch and French sandwich…mmmm
Oh, that sounds kinda dirty.
You only hear what you wanna hear, you perv. XD
that’s the flag of Belgium
FIRST!!!
bloody noob,
first it isnt a german flag an 2nd, whats so frightened about darth vader in germany ?!
Congratulations. Out of the 419 comments so far, you are about the 100th person to not only notice this, but post an indignant correction as if you were the ONLY person who noticed it.
it uganda partial flag other parts get cropped by photobirds =D
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL MMD
Hey, that was at the Sain Jean Sur Richelieu Balloon Festival I went to! xD It was awesome. =D
Belgium, not Germany. Stupid Americans, as always… So sad that it happened less than 100 years ago, our grandparents remember it and you are too stupid to know anything
beware of Darth Hitler.
It’s the Belgian flag.
Belgium, the country that was invented so that the English and the Germans have a place where they can settle their differences.
Top Gear….
Ich nehme an das das ganze Design des Imperiums aus Star Wars auf den dummen drecks Nazis aus dem WW2 basiert. Alles in Grau und die Uniformen sehen auch schon leicht SS mäßig aus. Der Imperator sah genauso krüppelig und scheisse aus wie Hitler, die dumme Schwuchtel. Entschuldigt meine Ausdrucksweise.
Ich würde es ja gerne ins Englische übersetzen, aber Ihr habt anscheinend Spaß dran zu übersetzen
Rly
*steps up to microphone and clears throat*
May I have your attention please. This is not a German flag. It’s a Belgian flag. Please stop being ignorant Americans. That is all.
Seriously… whoever captioned this should be ashamed of their complete lack of knowledge. Shall we get the australian flag and call it american for our next pic?
Go ahead, but I’m pretty sure you would get abused accordingly. The Belgian and German flags are similar enough that confusion would be understandable for those that don’t know the differenc. But I would be greatly surprised if someone looked at an American flag and confused it with an Australian flag.
I guess the first comment said “want!”
this Trojan Vader Balloon is awesome ^^
thats not a german flag, you silly american
It’s not a German flag,
German flags are BLACK RED GOLD.
Oh My F*cking God!!! Really?
Although, I will say I did have some what of a clue right around the 20th comment that was posted.
f#cking retard, thats a belgian flag. I can’t believe that picture was actually chosen to be featured on this site. This just goes to show the true ignorance of the american people . Stereotypical comments towards germans, and not even when its a german flag.
I can’t believe that you didn’t notice that this was already said in the previous 500 (!!) comments or so. That isn’t really something you could have missed when scrolling down in order to rant about how unfair the world is. This just goes to show that you’re truly ignorant.
Oh, and by the way, no need to get your panties in a bunch over it. Nowadays, there are very few people who still think all Germans are nazis. It’s called a JOKE. Besides that, I’m from Holland, and I wouldn’t get pissed about foreigners who confuse our flag with the French one. So STFU and GTFO.
I think you finally got my point.
Nahh, I got it the first time, I just didn’t like your ‘Euro trash’ way of phrasing it.
Well, that’s just trashy of you to say that.
No need to feel dirty over it.
it’s the f*cking Belgian flag!
It’s f*cking Belgian! Just look up “Vader Balloon” and it’ll say it’s a Belgian balloon.
That’ll be a belgian flag then
Gad Zooks! It’s the BELGIAN FLAG!! Oh, the humanity of confusion that has beset us. Whatever shall we do?
F*ck it, let’s nuke Belgium just for the shear pleasure of knowing that every f*ckwit before this comment that just had to point out it’s the Belgian flag will be gone.
Actually, it’s not the Belgian flag because it is, in fact, the Belgian flag.
No, you are wrong AGAIN. It’s a piece of cloth, that happens to be black, yellow and red.
:p
Nice post – kitchen pictures ..Keep Posting– Tip: Keep your post active- commenting helps it – Ron kitchen pictures
CECI NE PAS UN DRAPEAU!
Belgium, Germany…who cares…was all Germany before.
(BTW: Don´t take that too serious)
guys, you better treat the world with some respect or do you want us to call your country something else.
Germany has 3 HORIZONTAL bars, black, red, yellow from top to bottom.
Belgium has 3 VERTICAL bars, black, yellow, red from left to right.
Although I hate Belgium myself, as I’m Flemish
It’s a belgian flag.
I am belgian too so we know.
Since I was there to see the balloon live… I know…
And you write impeccable English. How about trying reading some next time before becoming the 3 millionth person to say the same thing?
eh…
Darth Vader is Belgian?
I don’t see how this is a bad sign, whats wrong with Darth Vader, hes awesome.
oooooh im so scared its the belgians they have…waffles and a big ballon to bomb us in with waffles
Hey, dumbasses. Its not German.
no its german, but thats not darth vader!
yeeahh join us.. the european evil balloon special troops … we have the bes cookies in the world ..
greetings out of hannover ..
honestly, indeed i do think that everyone here’s German pretending to be Americans. Including me. Except for the comments on patriotic/army pics.
