I bet she's good at hoovering.
ironrailsetc. wants to know how deep the pile is on that carpet.
(Is that bit stale yet?)
But hoovering was more a Catholic practice (so I heard once).
I...uh...yeah.
My mother always said to wear clean underwear, you never know...
She's doing the NBC pose...lean forward and suck.
The Dutch term for vacuum cleaner is stofzuiger = dust sucker. That is so not sterile sounding.
Jew porn?
Now, now. Don't propagate a stereotype just because Dominique Strauss-Kahn happens to be Jewish.
Crack's site was shut down...
Not to worry, EBL, if we wish to visit crappy, unintelligible websites written by hacks and link whores, we can always go to yours.
Sixty seems to be straddling the cottons.
Nah, just raggin' on a crappy website. Perhaps it was meant in jest.
Anybody seen MamaM lately?
@Kleine Kip
Zijn uw mensen Nederlanders? Van mij ben van Willemstad.

WTF for? Who got him?
@BJM: My inlaws are Dutch, and I enjoy picking up pieces of languages and reprocessing them. My wife still speaks Dutch (her mother tongue) but was raised here. Her family is from Utrecht. We are way overdue for a visit back.
@BJM: Have you seen Stuff Dutch People Like?
Oh those lazy Dutch socialists! #38
Don't get your pisvleked red pants in a knot - it'll give your klootzak syphilis or something.
What a funny bunch of chocolate eaters!
They are the happiest women in the world! What's not to like about the Dutch, good chocolate, happy people.
There's a reason they never moved back, Allie.
BTW, what's up with your galpal Leslyn picking on Lem?
Leslyn has a familar vibe...
Ever work for them? Hang around with them? Try and understand their fractured English? They make Icelanders look modest and unassuming, and that's saying something.
Keep America out of Dutch!
Dutch Elm disease, Dutch Treat, Dutch Ovens - for the love of God, haven't they done enough damage already?
I bet the relatives back in Holland are happy. Wonderful country.
My relatives in Germany, Nordrhein Westfalen area, are quite happy with their life there and have told me to come live in Germany, especially when I had a lot of health issues a few years back.
They have told us we should've been more patient and not emigrated to America and went to Germany instead like they did.
My cousin ran for Burgermeister of Polsum, he lost.
dikes.
Your other cousin, Garage, ran over a Polsum, which he ate.
PS, I don't really like Germans that much. Anywhere you go in Germany, even if you speak the language they seem to know you are American.
Sixty, as long as he doesn't cook it up in a stew and try to pass it off as chicken.
Anywhere you go in Germany, even if you speak the language they seem to know you are American.
All Europeans use dialects to mark those distinctions even amongst themselves and it's not a German thing either--think different British accents within the isle.
In Italy for example, pronunciation for the word for 5, cinque, changes from sink-way, to shink-way to chink-way to kink-way depending on which city.
When florentine Italian was standardized into Italian, even the Florentines evolved a new sound.
Interesting - I always said "chink-way", but then again, no Italian ever thought I was anything other than an American tourist - a grown man wearing sneakers - really! That's like a man wearing shorts in Wisconsin - unheard of.
What's a chink weigh? No, that's racist. What's a Steinway? Better.
@Sixty: I think the Romans or the Venetians drop hard c's. They would say ho-ka ho-la for for coca-cola. Probably the Venetians because they are of the venereal persuasion.
When I lived in Switzerland I attempted to learn Swiss German. Allie might appreciate this because the language blends smoothly into Swabian.
Dialects of course are considered declasse. Intellectuals prefer speaking a standardized version of their language. So if you passed through any European cities, you probably never encountered much dialect.
Polsum isn't far from Amsterdam, I wish I would've visited and spent happy hour in the legal hooka bar, serving up some good hashish.
Not really, I'd rather have the chocolate.

Well, that was mean for Trooper York standards. I would have been hurt if I were EBL.
I think we should only talk that way about people who are not here (or won't come out of the lurking shadows).
On the other hand, EBL is a rat bastard and I was holding back. His website really does suck - have you tried to read that drivel? He makes Crack look coherent.
And I like EBL's site because she tends to run 2 to 3 hours (sometimes days) ahead of others.
JMHO
Sixty, there must a lot of background and inside baseball behind a lot of what you're getting at. I'm not privy to anything and only know what seems obvious to me.
Well, we'll just have to agree to disagree. I, for one, am not amused by EBL.
Well, we'll just have to agree to disagree.
I'll agree as long as it's agreeable.
When have I ever been anything other than agreeable, am I right? Oh, well, there was that one time. And the other 50 or 100 times, but seriously, other than that, I'm good...
Lost, as usual.
Here's a picture of me and my sister, Yvonne. This was back before global warming and you had to skate everywhere you wanted to go.
Allen - I always imagined you were a much taller man.
So the only good thing that comes from Holland is the train to Germany?
Shhhsh. We're pretending to be lepers in a hockey game.
Holland seems quite interesting. I'm reading a tour guide.
Hollanders do not like spending money. They would rather cut off an ear. A Hollander will be your friend for life if you give him something for free. This might explain the great success of McDonalds in Holland. The story that copper wire is an invention of two Hollanders fighting over a found cent is absolutely true.
How ricpic never shows up at his own parties?
Yes, interesting, indeed.
Hollanders drown fried patato-sticks (Chips) in litres of mayonnaise and put it in a pointed paper bag. This is called : Een patatje met. One such bag is able to keep you alive for an unlimited period of time. It is only uncertain if this is a life worth living. But there have been sightings of tourists actually enjoying a patatje met.
I'll foam at the mouth if I find out this is fomentation
Huh. Holland has an aristocracy. Didn't know that.
Holland is a kingdom.It just doesn't have a king but a queen and her husband is not king but a prince. The queen does not rule -much- but she's very capable in cutting ribbons and visiting other countries. She is also very decorative at state banquettes. Her son, the crown prince, will take over if she stops queening. His wife in turn will be queen so that Holland will finally have a king and queen again. April 30 is queensday but it is not the birthday of the queen but princes Juliana's, who used to be queen. With things like this it's only logical that more and more people want Holland to be a republic. Queensday, by the way, is just an excuse to drink lots of beer and sell all their old junk on the streets.
*Change topic*
By the way, "Leslyn" is actually "Meade" spelled in Klingon.
Holland only one province in the Netherlands
By the way, "Leslyn" is actually "Meade" spelled in Klingon.
Proof?
I don't mean that as a defence of Meade. But why would Meade go after Lem in a vicious way?
Belated May Day greetings, comrades.
Wow, that comment bombed.
I hope I haven't burned any bridges here.
@Chickie
OMG stamppot...it is the worsten of dishes and the best of dishes.
Oma made succulent veal & pork sausages to serve with her Boerenkoolstamppot.
That side of the family have all passed, so now I'm an assimulated Italian...but I still crave me a good Stroopwafel.
@Chip
*Snert*
You should take that to teh Twitter.
As you wish, BJM.
Shit. Now Sixty's gonna call me out for linkwhoring.
Speaking of twitter, my faith in Klouchebag's algorithm is not high.
I like you new avatar Chip. Was it taken after your weekend in Harvard Square last St. Paddy's day?
Your
No. The mug shot they took in Boston wasn't very flattering.
Chip S. - I might consider calling you that, but only if you show up in random places, such as the now-defunct Surber site, touting a sub-par blog using off topic comments full of whiny begging.
Until then, link away!
I knew a post with panties would bring a lot of comments.
So would one with Sarah Palin.
Now if I only did one with Sarah Palin in panties!
@Allie
even if you speak the language they seem to know you are American.
The tip off is your clothing, shoes and shiny clean hair.
Americans also tend to be overly personal with strangers. We think of it as being friendly but it's off putting in many cultures.
Off-putting? What is the opposite of that? On-putting?
As in "I will be on-putting my clothes, down-going the stairs, then out-going the door, in-getting the car, down-shifting the transmission and then slow-going through traffic."
When people say "I want to give you some input" maybe they really mean "let's have sex".
In hopes that you will, you know, out-put.
I have been afflicted with Henry Kissinger's disease: the use of nouns as verbs.
We can dialogue about it if you wish.
Doffing and doning.
"Doff we now our gay apparel, fa la la, la-la-la, la...la...la."
The German says aufmachen, meaning to open. The Swiss German says oofdoen (pronounced oof-do'n)
/pedantry off
Separable prefix verbs are foreign to romance languages.
BJM, true both my mother and myself were amazed at how they knew we were American. I think the cleanliness part wasn't a factor though, Germans are clean freaks.
My daughter and son in law did visit Amsterdam and said the city was filthy, dog crap on the streets.
@Chicklit
So if you passed through any European cities, you probably never encountered much dialect.
I dunno, think it's more a function of the polygot nature of cities and that you're not a native speaker...although elistist language tomfoolery exists everywhere. In Mexico City the elites speak Castilian Spanish which is hardly representative of the rest of the country.
Then there's Italy where distrust of outsiders is still the norm and formal Italian is used as a shield.
I've been in italian shops, restaurants and bars where the language noticeably shifts from dialect when an unknown person enters. Had you entered you would assume that they were previously speaking standard Italian.
Then there's the UK where I rest my case, M'Lord.
@Allie: echt vies
Or Palin sans panties.
Good go to hell. Where do you find these pictures?
I'm with you AllenS - that photo is so odd I can't even begin to explain it - sure, there was a guy back in the 20s who had a stockings/vacuum cleaner/embroidered furniture/carpet (we can assume carpet, right?) fetish, but really - WTF?
Sixty,
If he could find a picture of Christie Brinkley bent over like that, I'd be all WOOOOO HOOOOO!
Perhaps we should assist him in that noble effort.
Yes?
What I look for is vibrancy, so vital a thing.
And also cross-tribe appreciation, with cross-tribe loyalty an added benefit, in both cases going both ways.
If you knew me better, you'd know I do that every day. And so I do take a stand, every day, whether you know it or not. I suspect you do, too, whether I know it or not.
??
We're a tribe but we're never cross. :)
Hot cross buns!
Hot cross buns!
One ha' penny, two ha' penny,
Hot cross buns!
If you have no daughters,
Give them to your sons
One ha' penny,
Two ha' penny,
Hot Cross Buns!
