temporary retirement
A small announcement to all...I'll be retiring from diplomacy for awhile. Summer is coming up, and I'll be away for a study aboard project, follow by a huge change in life in Aug. Perhaps someday I'd be back to play with everyone again, but as far as it goes, I had a wonderful time here. Everyone is amazing, and thank you for all the entertaining games. ;-]

National Anthems
With the FIFA World Cup coming up, I was wondering if any of you had particularly strong feelings regarding certain national anthems. Anyone think his/her country has the best national anthem ever? Any ones you particularly dislike?

US, British, and World Leaders On Currency- Who Should Be On What?
I have no idea who the Eurpoeans and English have... but for America- what do you think? Things like Lincoln on the penny and $5 and Washington on the quarter and $1 will never change, but who else? Jefferson has the $2- should he have better? Hamilton on the $10... he made th treasury, but how does he take a Bill over TR or Reagan or JFK? Same with Grant... Who should be on what (and will they EVER have a good dollar coin?) ;)

I found this one on the intrawebs.

"Nixon was out of the White House one day, making a speech in front of the United Nations. He didn't return until about one in the morning, and wandered into the Oval Office to make a note of something. But as soon as he walks in, he sees his wife sprawled across the desk, completely nude, and right next to her is... what's his name, the Secretary of State."
"Kissinger?"
"No, they were having sex."

The Sun newspaper in the UK is quite good for punning headlines. One of the best was in their sport section a number of years ago. Inverness Caledonian Thistle, who were at the time a lower-league team, beat giants Celtic 3-1 in shock result to knock Celtic out of the Scottish Cup.

The headline in the Sun read:

SUPER CALEY GO BALLISTIC CELTIC ARE ATROCIOUS!

Classic.

What about:
'Titanic Sinks. Aberdeen Man Lost At Sea' (the headline of the Aberdeen Press & Journal on 16th April 1912). Not a pun, but what the hell?

Seven farmers decided to play a game of diplomacy. Countries were allocated based upon a type of fruit the farmer claimed to grow, the fruit representing the colors on the map. The farmer assigned to Russia claimed to grow grapes, Italy – apples, England – pink grapefruit, France – blueberries, Germany – dates and Turkey – peaches. The game started and progressed, everybody sending messages to each other, stabbing, getting stabbed, the usual. Except Turkey, Turkey never said a word. Turns out, Turkey was actually peachless.

On the theme of newspaper headlines...

and not quite in the pun category,

my favourites are:

a) a report about the turnaround in the economic fortunes of Albania after the demise of Communism:

Tirana Boom Today

b) the second was a wonderful example of alliteration (English disease)... It was about a Middlesborough forward from (the then) Jugoslavia, and a game with Tottenham:

Borough's Bosco Baby Jancovic's Balkan Belligerence Bruises Spurs Fragile Finesse

Why did Beetoven get rid of his chickens?
Because they were cheering for "Bach."

This is sort of a pun, and I did make it up all on my own, as its quality should tell you.

There was an owner of a car lot.
He had a plan. On the fourth of July, he was going to attract attention to his business by having a life-size, inflatable Statue of Liberty put on the the roof of his dealership.
However he was going to be out of town and would not get back until the 3rd. He said to his employees: "Listen up: this is really important: in order to make the maximum impact, this has got to be put up on the 4th of July, not a day sooner."
However, his employees were not paying that close attention to him, so when he got back to the car lot, he found the Statue of Liberty out a day early, his planned ruinned.
Dropping to his knees, he bent over, pounded his fist on the ground, and started yelling at the employees,
"YOU MANIACS! YOU BLEW IT UP! DARN YOU! GOSH DARN YOU ALL TO HECK!!!"
