Dear Gerrit,
Would this be metric football?
Regrettably, a friend and I were discussing anti-Dutch
epithets recently because another friend's wife from Holland
had a beaver trapped and killed to protect her garden in
Utah, so I'm not sure yet whether to root for you
windmill-worshipping, polder-draining, dike-plugging,
canal-skating, diamond-cutting, wooden-shoe-wearing,
tulip-hoarding, vowel-doubling beaver-snuffers over the
cork-tree killers from Portugal.
Welcome to the joys of off-topic posting!
Xenophobically yours,

Metric football was replaced by SI football at the 11th General
Conference on Weights and Measures in 1960.

in another life i worked in academia with a group of mostly american, german,
dutch, japanese and russian scientists (the dutch from utrecht and the germans
koeln). the germans always called the dutch "pfeffersack" (literally pepper
sack). germans insults have a weird kind of power.
... but they sure don't translate well.
istr it referred to the famous dutch merchant trade (i liked the image of big
dutch guys with huge sacks of pepper walking through koeln so much i still
remember it after 10 years).
i'm gonna go drink now. or maybe i already have. not sure. the only person
i have ever met who could outdrink me in guinness was pfeffersack. many have
equalled but only he has soundly beaten me.
for that and more i say, "go pfeffersack!". they have my vote.

Continuing with the xenophobism: Isn't soccer a communist sport? Also,
don't the french play soccer? The "I was misslead" discussion proves
that there is already a lot of antiamerican sentiment by a bunch of
french and arab loving commies. Unless GW does something to put a stop
to the expansion of arab commies, we will soon be watching 22 people
chasing a ball that they can only touch with their feet. This is
certainly not normal. It is the product of children taken away from
their parents at birth and brainwashed only to love soccer and Karl
Marx. We need a huge tax beak so that powerful coprporations can use
the saving to build powerful anti soccer weapons.
By the way, I am from Argentina and we kicked Duth butt in 1978. You
gor your revenge a during the french world cup.

Sounds typically Dutch to me; I don't care what you do as long as you
don't bother me in any way.
The beaver should have know that.

I didn't know the Dutch defeated anybody, including the Swedes. Is this
conflict conventional? Are they using any airpower? Seapower? Are special
forces involved? I thought they were both NATO.......

Dear Gerrit,
Well, like Sweden, the beaver knows not to mess with the
Dutch now.
My theory was that she was simply jealous of the beaver and
could not bear anyone else building dikes or dams in her
vicinity.
I won't be shocked if her neighbor's ornamental windmill is
vandalized or if their tulip bulbs vanish one dark night.

There is an obscure country between Canada and Mexico that still
strongly resists using SI units.

I guess you are a Dutch guy and all that so please
pardon me when I say that the real story is Greece
beat France, which may be the biggest upset ever in
the European Championships.
Americans without expensive cable and satellite
packages will not be able to see Clarence Seedorf work
his magic, so they just make fun of what they do not
understand.
