It’s the Big Mäc. Yup…Also notable is the FischMäc. The umlauts are to give the vowel the approximate sound of the english Big Mac in German.

“Can I have some ketchup?” - small American child in a Munich McD’s.
“DAS KOSTET 50 PFENNIG!!!” - Employee, having some good fun with the kid.
Laughed my ass off!
If they made a KelliBelli flavored Jelly Belly, then THAT would be my favorite!
Coldie,
is it true that the car insurance companies paid to have those short metal railings installed next to the canals because after the bars and clubs closed the kiddies had a hobby of pushing parked cars into the water and it was getting a bit out of control for the insurance companies?
Is it true that a smart shop last summer was busted for selling fresh psilocybin (sp?) mushrooms and thus had to change their business-licence-type to that of a greengrocers?
Who do you find more irritating as a genre the yank ot brit tourists?
Should I start a van Meegeren fanclub page (the Vermeer faker)?
(I know I should have put much of this in the ask-the-drunken-dutchman thread, but in the spirit of hijacking. . . )
Oops! Cars off the roads guys!
As part of my job I get reports from the police, and let me tell you Coldfire, your experience is not unusual. I have got two large ring binders full of examples of police (and criminal) stupidity. “I arrested him because he looked suspicious.”
Mind you, it’s not just them - one of my colleagues noticed recently that her shower curtain was dirty and in need of a wash, so she bought a spare one to use whilst the old one was hanging up to dry…
M.K.,
I don’t have any answers to your questions - because I don’t know them 
Well, I do know that I prefer Brit tourists while sober, and American tourists while drunk. Does that make any sense?
90G’s? Hmmmm. I don’t suppose you read about the guy in the US who locked his bike to a tree, everyday when he went to work, for 20 years & then one day recently the cops gave him a ticket for being not nice to a tree.
Guy had to hug the tree every day for months…really.
Handy: I DID see that on TV recently! The guy parked his bike to a tree everyday in NYC, IIRC. Was that his sentence? You Yanks are weird
Yesterday, I wasn’t nice to a 5’3" blonde with big tits…
Do the Netherlands really have a large “Hell’s Angels” following, or is the story I heard concerning a tombstone incorrect ?
Oh, and can you point me to a thread where you descibe the real deal on marijuana in Dutch country ? I am pretty sure I have read this before, yet I cannnot find the proverbial needle.
I understand soccer is big there too.
Kidding !
Do you think the USA will really compete for a World Cup in the next 20 years ?
Thanks Coldy,

. . . wait . . . isn’t this the “Ask the Dutch Guy” thread ?
Seemed to be . . .
…and he wasn’t very happy about it, either.
