No, no, no. The Dutch are from Holland; Danes are from the Netherlands. |
  !!!!!!!!!

WTF? Thats wrong. Aren't the Dutch from the Netherlands (aka Holland) and the Danish are from Denmakr? I've always wanted to know why the Netherlands were also called Holland, and the people were called Dutch. |

You are all on my list now ! Every one of you bastards! I really need to change my sig back to "I'm not Dutch dammit!"  If I ever win the lottery or get tenure, I'm going to pay Goatboy and EdSr. to have a special ar15.com ATLAS set up, so that everyone can click on it and find Denmark and Holland. IN fact, my fiancee had a hilarious experience the other day. She was meeting with an HR recruiter from some big company, and he's a guy who travels a lot. During the converstation he mentioned how frustrating it was how so many people just weren't well educated about Europe and the world (He was clearly a bit of an arrogant ass  ). Later in the conversation, she mentioned that her fiance was from Danmark, and his response was "I really like the Dutch!"  What a tool! I mean, as much as it frustrates me when people make this mistake, it's at least somewhat understandable - but for a guy who was just bragging about how well-travelled and expert he was on Europe, it must have been really hard for her to not burst out laughing!

Wait! I thought that avatar was a pic of the DK-Prof! I thought he was the spitting image of Carey Elwes, or some such. You mean he has a pointy moustache? As in Snidely Whiplash of Dudley Dooright fame? Eric The(Dayum!)Hun

I HAD a nice handlebar moustache when I was a sergeant and a young lieutenant, but shaved it off WHILE I was a lieutenant because it was just too much trouble when we were out in the field. (so the pic in my avatar is sans moustache, but the one in my profile pic is with) I know - I'm just causing MORE confusion ... but let me be clear: I AM NOT DUTCH !!!  I am in fact DANISH ! |
I thought that whole bunch was Norse

As a young boy, he moved from the Netherlands to Holland, searching for his Dutch parents. Unfortunately, try as he might, he could never even find Dutchlandia. "Denmark" was the closest he could find, and they didn't cotton to his wooden shoe-wearing foreign ways there. Today, all he has to remember his parents by is that pair of wooden shoes - a gift from his father before the tragic boating accident that split them up forever. Rumor has it, he still keeps those shoes on his desk in his office. I have it on good authority that he has been contemplating joining a commune and becoming their official photographer - having been so inspired by Clean_Cut, a fellow immigrant. At least, that's what I heard.

As long as we all agree I am neither German nor Swedish - that's the really important thing!
|
Just how old and decrepit do you think I am  
|
I don't think any of us would go that low - not even in jest. About the only thing more insulting would be possibly to insinuate you may be from a certain land of cheese-eating surrender monkeys and state funerals for terrorist leaders. |
Hablo Espanol, Grandpa? |
