Yojimbo: Roughly what %age of Dutch smoke weed ?
Well, that depends on how you look at it. I smoke it maybe once or twice a year these days, so that doesn’t count. But let’s define it as people who smoke at least once a week. Then my estimate would be some 5%, roughly.
Do you eat those amazing croqetes(sp?) much ?
Kroketten!! Well, I’m trying to lose some weight. Other than that, hell yeah! Murrikens, there’s a whole new and excitiong snack culture to be discovered in the Netherlands
Also: bitterballen. Yes, that’s what it means: bitter balls. They’re basically kroket balls. Yummie!
Is it true that Holland has the lowest teenage pregnancy rate in Europe.
Although I have no source, it wouldn’t surprise me. The education on sex and pregnancies starts really early here. That, and the fact that we have few problems with large isolated groups that don’t get education and such, must make that statement likely.
And of course I was right about the Grolsch. NEXT!
Did you go to the Football game the other day against Yugoslavia?
The station’s soccer geek wants to know.
I want to know…has crime gone up or down or stayed the same since soft drugs are…condoned?
Hashily yours, Graeme
**Graeme: Did you go to the Football game the other day against Yugoslavia? The station’s soccer geek wants to know. **
That’s no geek, that’s a man of refinement and taste. Unfortunately, I had to watch the game at London’s City Airport, as I was awaiting my flight back to Amsterdam. Downside: crappy small TV with poor reception. Upside: people of all nationalities commenting how fuckin’ great the Dutch played
I want to know…has crime gone up or down or stayed the same since soft drugs are…condoned?
You chose the right word.
Drug-related crime has CERTAINLY gone down. The police don’t care about soft drugs anymore (it can’t do anymore harm than alcohol anyway), so they can focus all their attention on the real criminals: hard drugs dealers and smugglers.
Every country in the world should adapt our drug policy. Not that THAT’s ever gonna happen :rolleyes:

American beer is served cold because at any normal temperature most of it tastes like donkey piss; or gerbil scrote, if you’re so inclined!

What’s this Kroketten stuff, and where can I get some (Kroketten, that is)??
It’s a fried snack, filled with a soft, goulash-like meat sauce. I think there’s some sort of Dutch Online Store. I’ll get back with that
When Dutch chicks get pissed off at you, do they whip their klompens at you? Are you wearing klompens right now?
I’m not wearing klompen (already plural, “klomp” being singular) right now. Dutch girls slap you with a frozen trout. The klompwhipping is so passé.
Have you ever gotten laid on a dike?
No, but I did get laid in the dunes. Does that count?
Speaking of dikes, what do you call big bull lesbians?
“Potten”, which means pots - as in the things you put plants in.
What’s so special about ‘Dutch Boy’ paint? Have you ever heard of ‘Dutch Boy’ paint?
Never heard of it.
Do you think that Abba rules?
Yes, but they’re Swedish. And I’m not gay, dammit
Do you live in a windmill?
Of course. We all do. No, really
