No, but if you got the "ch" bit from Switzerland that bit is correct.

The answer was "Passchendaele".
to overtake - Pass
Switzerland - CH
european standards - EN
anarchic (anagram of) deal - dael
ends in a point - e.
And of course Passchendaele was one of the many horrific battles of WW1.
I'll make it easier tomorrow.

Oh, I was way off in my thinking.
But in my mind European standards was always CE.

AFAIK that means "Conform European" or something similar, that's way less restrictive than a EN-Norm (the european version of DIN- ISO-Norms)

I seem to be heading to the famed waterway in a craft lacking propulsion...
We've been invited by a Mercan group to an ex-pats' Thanksgiving Dinner tonight. There may [will] be alcohol involved and there probably will be a need for some adulting; a task I am never good at at the best of times.
So what subjects ex-politics can I safely approach? I've got as far as the end of the Goat Curse and that's it. What else could Mercans be thankful for this year?

Maybe, but the party is tonight. I know quite a few of the Septics are flying back to Trumponia for their reintegration.

We always used to celebrate Easter a week late, because my daughter figured out that she could get twice as mane Easter eggs, that way.

Pity is... you will have to stand the full program (Jingles, Publicity, and rest of the crap) anyways, because the rest of the world won't respect your anticipated fest.

Have you been in many stores lately? Christmas started about 3 days before Halloween.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The Cubs won the world series.
(I don't know much about Baseball, but this seems to be a topic worth talking about...
...at least for Americans).

First place in Merca I visited was Chicago in '77 and I went to both Cubs and Sox home games.
