I was thinking that 1 Euro ~= $1000 USD lately, but maybe it's not QUITE that bad yet.

Me too Mark. Given that the dollar is essentially worthless overseas, you'd think he could buy a whole set of manuals here in the USA (from Hoye Tractor or equal) and have them shipped to Belgium for next to nothin'!!!

That tax thing is wild though! I could never survive over there. Thank God for the Internet and for the great state of New Hampshire right next door to Taxachusetts where I can avoid sales taxes altogether.

You gotta love that website: Despair, Inc.

Introducing Demotivators®

MOTIVATION. Psychology tells us that motivation- true, lasting motivation- can only come from within. Common sense tells us it can't be manufactured or productized. So how is it that a multi-billion dollar industry thrives through the sale of motivational commodities and services? Because, in our world of instant gratification, people desperately want to believe that there are simple solutions to complex problems. And when desperation has disposable income, market opportunities abound.

AT DESPAIR, INC., we believe motivational products create unrealistic expectations, raising hopes only to dash them. That's why we created our soul-crushingly depressing Demotivators® designs, so you can skip the delusions that motivational products induce and head straight for the disappointments that follow!
