Who has the best capitol?

[notyou2]

Yeah, but it looks to me that after Greece's recent financial difficulties it is now owned by Pepsi.

[notyou2]

Damn, we have an ugly capitol. I'm voting for switzerland.

Well, the question is who has the "best" capitol, not who has the "prettiest." I think Finland's giant slab of granite could withstand a Soviet air raid much better than Switzerland's papier-mâché dollhouse.

Swiss Tony, what do you think?

I think the Soviets would regret their mistake after the Swiss pikemen poured out of the building and taught the Soviets a lesson.

Gang, having trouble finding a pic on Google Images of the Greek capitol building. Thought maybe one of Greece's political parties might have a pic so I googled "Greek Party" and this is all I got. I think it must be a national celebration of some type. GreecePWNS is this like Independence Day or something?



Then I thought I'd try an architectural-based search so I tried "Greek Style" and this is all that came up:

While we are trying to locate a photo of the Greek capitol we will proceed to the Quarter-Finals and then return for the Greece-Hungary showdown.

How is Scotland winning?

How are they even in this... they should never have gotten by Massachusetts!

[natty dread]

Just for that, I'm voting for Scotland.

my guess is that you falsely vote for the next country's capitol after saxi changes the poll, and the votes count even if you didn't come back to see the thread updates.
Or maybe it's just that Scotland's got a sweet capital

[Ray Rider]

Scotland's capitol is ugly.

[natty dread]

Sour grapes...

[InkL0sed]

f*ck YES SCOTLAND

[GreecePwns]

Olympicaos Basketball Club did signsomeone from the Atlanta Hawks a couple years ago, it must be a party for their new hero.

Saxi, I aided in your search, but to no avail. A search for the material used on the building, "greek marble" produced only this.

Reported for porn.

[GreecePwns]

I shall not apologize for my people being so arousing.

[The Bison King]

Scotland's capital looks really gawdy. It's just a mess.

[notyou2]

You do realize the capital is that hill. The true Scots are actually hobbits and they live in the hill.

[AAFitz]

hey i voted massachusetts... but why do states of USA compete against enitre nations? that seems weird to me

Because USA states are better than most nations.

Is this the all american, toot your own horn, pep rally? If so, I am in the wrong room.

That only makes them better. The Scots are going all the way!

Edit: Wait, I just remembered about Finland. I take back what I said about Finland; the Scottish Parliament is officially the Best Thing Ever.

[jimboston]

Saxi blew his wad early and fell asleep.
