I wouldn't take cheese, Tomboy, it can be kidnapped for ransom.

Zikavszka tomboy!!

You might pass as a local wearing the dirnl skirt, the cheese, I'm totally freaked out by. Have you see the border guards? Their freakishly heightened sense of smell (due to the lack of teeth) will have them asking "Sprufki doh crazko? Tho I've heard you you can bribe them with packets of "Splenda".

Take soft cheese, it's much easier to chew with only your gums.

Denise, we are discussing the way Molvanians are treated in Liechtenstein, and not the other way round

Not if you take the kind of cheese that's capable of making its own escape.

lobo_mau:

I stand corrected, yes the "Splenda" bribes were for the Molvanian border guards. I understood that there were three border crossings to leave Molvania and get into Liechtenstein. The endo border, the ecto (often pronounced eckto, the ec combining to make a soft "z" sound)and the soft cheese crossing, fondly known as the fromage. I've also heard that at the Liechtenstein border guards weight you as you cross the border and record the weight in your passport, so as to stop any possible cheese smuggling. Is this true?

>so as to stop any possible cheese smuggling.
Of course it isn't true! Cheese is far cheaper in Liechtenstein than in Switzonia, Austrakia, Bovonia and even Italkia. Nobody would smuggle cheese into Liechtenstein. There are certain Emmentolian cheeses that are quite expensive even in Liechtenstein, but the price differential NEVER would be worth the risk you take. It's all just a lot of US Amerionian propaganda you heard. The Amerionian government is evil!

Do you mean the molvanians that are an independant country or the molvanians which are part of Roumania. Clearly I cna see they would have no problems with the latter and after the terrible tennis of the former's football team I doubt if the software house which pretends to be a grand duchy would be very positive

Is the above cheese made from the milk of the flummox, a beast native to Belgium? Or am I thinking of smelly old Luxemburger cheese, with the blue veins of lux?

Careful, tomboy, the elderly of Luxemburg might take offence at that.
