Where did I see this funny Esperanto-like language?

Does anyone remember a site featuring a hilarious made up language that mashed up various European languages? (Not Esperanto!) The texts were, I believe, poking fun at the EU.
As I said, this was not Esperanto, though it was very similar in the way you could understand it if you knew most of the languages used. I don't think it bothered with its own grammar - it would be something like "If you lisez this Absatz you will scoprire that it's all a tas of Scheiße."
I read this in 2001 or 2002 and am finding it kinda hard to google for, if it even still exists. Thanks!

Europanto is actually more useful than one would assume…

Best answer: Six años zurück, je habe gepostet un thread auf Metafilter over Europanto.
