Please forgive my ignorance (I might have known better had I EVER BEEN OFF OF THIS CONTINENT). I have now Wiki-educated myself.

I was wrong not to include the "Most Serene Republic of San Marino" - indeed ludicrously minuscule, and Andorra, not QUITE so unreasonably tiny. HOWEVER, in terms of HILARIOUS JUST because of their names - they don't cut it.

And I suppose I should grant that Andorra IS much more farcically microscopic than Luxembourg, Luxembourg seems to always bear the title COUNTRY, whereas Andorra and Liechtenstein, while often called and considered "Nations," are still technically "Sovereign Principalities" and "European Micro-States." AND though San Marino is a "Republic," they still consider it one of the European Micro-States.

Make of that whatever you will. Oh - Liechtenstein is DOUBLE landlocked (one of only TWO countries in the World with this status). And Luxembourg is the ONLY sovereign Grand Duchy in the World.

You are an Adorra-Denier! What is so wrong with Andorra? Both that and San Marino are very land-locked. I will give you the islands… but you really should re-examine your anti-Andorran bias. What have they ever done to cause such dislike?
And yes, I was wary of the Ides… I bewared? I was be-woren?
Regardless, they did not get me!

I'm sorry, Michael, but islands don't count. They're supposed to be small. Liechtenstein and Luxembourg are LAND-LOCKED (well, at least Liechtenstein is, I'll have to double-check on Luxembourg - or Luxembourgeois, as Terry would say).

Did you BEWARE while you were aware of the Ides of March?

all this talk of Luxembourg and Lichtenstein, and Andorra gets ZIP? Monaco? San Marino… and a host of small island nations aren’t worthy of mention? (I purposely left V.C. out of the mix).
And because of you, I walked around all day yesterday being aware of the ides of march.

Hey KAte-
Can you find me some place to buy blueberry bluecheese? I have had no luck. We had it that one time at the Juhl house, but haven’t ever seen it since.

Wouldn’t they be Luxembourgeois? Even if that’s not correct, it SOUNDS perfect.
(How can one snorkel and laugh at the same time?)
Ha!
