Where did it go?

I imagine someone got offended by the wooden head comment and asked the mods to delete it.

Another trait, no sense of haha and easily offended.

Greylynx felt as though some were attacking those of euro descent, and he ran it off the rails.

One of my favorite movie quotes. "I hate two types of people in this world. Those that are intolerant of other people's culture; and the Dutch!" Hahaha

I was born in Friesland, my wife was born in Overijsel.

Quite often I wonder why we moved to Alberta, I can tell you it wasn't for the nice winters.

Wooden shoes , wooden head would'n listen, .....well I guess I'm one of those.

If your Dutch you ain't much. that's what they tell us too once in a while. But lucky for me I became a Canadian.

But I'm proud to say that the Dutch invented copper wire, because 2 dutchies were fighting over a penny.

I was born in Ostfriesland.

Might be German in name, but same geography, same wooden shoes and windmills, even dialect. I'm almost as cheap.

I was taught that the various forms of Frisian was a separate language rather than a dialect and is more closely related to English than either high Dutch or German

Very true , the Friesian language is very close to English.
If I'm speaking Friesian to my wife she has a very hard time understanding me.

The Friesians do have their own horse and flag.

As for the Zout drop (double salted licourice) I don't like it.

Had the opportunity to cruise through Friesland on a boat for 5 days this past summer, wow the sights and occasional smell of manure was great. The people are fantastic and hospitable .Not to mention a occasional cold Beer and a glass of wine. I am a little biased though as my mother was born in Holland.
I welcome any Dutchman , they are hardworking , industrious and friendly folk.

Okay it time for my Pannekokan.

Dad used to tell us that he got his knuckles strapped in school for speaking Frisian.

BTW my internet "handle" is my name and it ain't hispanic, old form... Taeke.

Used to work with a Dutch guy that used all those phrases. Very nice guy, hardworking and funny.

A very good friend of mine went back to Holland for work when the rigs slowed down here a few years ago, poor bugger fell when on a roofing job. Worked with him for 8 years, best hand I ever met but stubborn as a mule.

RIP Cyril Walstock, miss you bud.

I think you mean , zoute (salted) or zure ( soure) haring, never heard of groene (green).

I hate fish, haring, eel or what ever come from the water.

ex811 · #24 12-08-2013, 10:17 AM

Born and raised in Rotterdam. When I was younger (I'm going back to the 50's now) I didn't even relize Friesland was part of Holland, the cultures, and of course language, were so very different.
Once I learned that my entire family on my mothers side were all from various parts of Friesland I tried learning the language and looking into the history of the people. I could never master the language but I was fansinated by the history,

I have several Durch friends, all but one dairy farmers. Good people, give you the shirt right off of their back for a discount!

When i was done,,, burb... there were only 15 or so left,I took them to my brother but there were only 10 left on the plate when i got there

Groene haring is unaltered raw herring so from the ocean. just gut and skin them and eat them as is or slap them in fine chopped union for added effect.

As a kid i used to poach and set fuiken en kisten in our polder sloten around the farm to catch paling.
Sometimes we went with the boat on the kaager plassen om paling te "peuren".
It was always a thrill to catch a big 3-4' long one as thick as ones wrist,..man..these beasts could fight! lol

Sven was going for his morning walk one day when he
walked past Ole's house and saw a sign that said
"Boat For Sale." This confused Sven because he knew
that Ole didn't own a boat, so he finally decided to go
in and ask Ole about it.

"Hey Ole," said Sven, "I noticed da sign in your yard
dat says 'Boat For Sale,' but ya don't even have a boat.
All ya have is your old John Deere tractor and
combine."

Ole replied, "Yup, and they're boat for sale."

Olaf decided to try raising something different for a change and chose chickens. He went into town to the Feed store and bought 300 baby chicks. Three days later he went back to the counter of the feed store and aske for another 300 chicks. " What happened to the first set ?" inquired the store owner. "They died" was Olaf's terse reply. Well, small epidemics do have a way of happening so the man sold Olaf another 300 chicks. Four days later Olaf was back needing to buy still another 300 chicks. When told that the second 300 had died as well, the store owner replied that Olaf just wasn't having much luck with chickens then asked if he knew what was going wrong. " I think I'm either planting them too far apart or too deep" replied Olaf.
