Not a big update - only a little bit of new stuff from me, 
but I've added two more categories, including a section 
on my favourite pieces by other ppl. :-) And a some 
'sail-through' typw links for the ascii pages :-)

Not much new stuff from me lately, because I've signed up 
for an intensive dutch course - I have NO free time
anymore! :-( 

*hugs*

flump, Dutch is a subset of English plus a few things. Just don't use some
English words, and you are halfway there! At least, that's how I talk in
the Netherlands and everyone understands!

Arjan, I like to put my panne(n)koek on the table too.

BTW I learned to write dutch -the old way- and it was hard enough.
I'm not going to change that because a bunch of guys, that I don't
even know, said so. Ha!

Veel succes! And welcome to a wonderful language - even if most people
(including me) are not able to spell it right because the rules were
changed just a few months ago... (Grumble mumble.. arghh!!)

The famous Dutch 'pannekoek'. It exists no longer. Somebody decided the
word wasn't right and made it 'pannenkoek' $-( I guess the only people
who know how to spell now are the teachers in elementary school, and if
they are doing their jobs right, the six to twelve year olds they teach.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Ahem, most of us Dutch do not have trouble understanding English.
So, if you clutter your English with a few Dutch words, we may still
be able to get what you are up to. Do not confuse this however,
with speaking Dutch.

Dutch is closer related to German than to English. Frysian, a language
still spoken in some northern parts of the Netherlands, is the language
closest to English, if memory serves me correctly.
Could not resist the bait,

flump, are you learning Dutch from my cartoons? The captions are in Dutch
enhanced with English, or in English enhanced with Dutch, depending on your
perspective. The captions must sound like poetry to people in Friesland and
South Africa.

Yeah, a dialect called Deutsch (with apologies to German readers :-)
In the dialect of my region it would probably be something like

`Dat heb ie wa oardig doan, mienjong.'

And to end my post with some ascii, did you know the strange Dutch
habit to put miniature flags in blocks of cheese to offer to guests?

The faeces are a little bit out of proportion... Guess it was a BIG dog :-)
As you see, I drew freely from your signature, Pete's mouse (it is now on a
flag of its own!) and the brick texture from Joan's castle. Hmm.. I am not
sure if I should put my signature on this masterpiece ;-) Credits, you know..

Ich weiss, der Brauch ist nicht nagelneu aber manche machen das noch immer.
Zum Beispiel, es wird noch hier in der Uni gemacht von den Kantinedamen wenn
es etwas gefeiert wird und sie die Leckerbisse (ich hoffe das ist das richtige
Wort) machen muessen. Aber die Musik von den 60ern and 70ern wird auch wieder
populaer, also warum nicht diese Fahnen? :-) (*)

(*) Alright, let's not exclude the rest of Usenet - I said:
I know, it isn't very modern anymore but some people still do it. For instance,
the canteen ladies in the university over here still do this when there is
something to be celebrated and they have to prepare snacks. But music from the
sixties and seventies is becoming popular again, so why not these miniature
flags?

In Amsterdam (I don't know if it's only there) I sometimes
see one of those flag right on the top of a dogshit.  :o/

I don't know what heideroosjes language is, but we have been mixing and
matching English, Nederlands and Deutsch in this thread,





 and the large gene pool resulted in a beautiful, new language which lends
itself well to ascii poetry, see this poem in AngloDutchDeutsch.

Heideroosjes is a punkrock band. They come from the southern Dutch province
Limburg. Very popular in the Netherlands and - so it seems - in Belgium.

They have song texts in English, in Dutch and even one in German, if I'm not
mistaken, so they really seem to fit in :)

Do they sing wacky tunes with languages mixed in one song?

This fellow stole this German/Swiss folk tune (and Italian and other folk
 tunes), but his lyric was pure English. In any case, it is very easy to
 animate this fellow's hip, any takers?

Nope, at least not as wacky as your Sarie Marijs version :)

Not quite.

You left me in doubt so I connected ye ol' grammophone and dusted of His
Majesty's Greatest Hits album, but really... He sings a whole refrain and a
couple more lines in (some sort of) German!

=======

<STRONG>Wooden heart/Muss i denn</STRONG>

Can't you see I love you
Please don't break my heart in two
That's not hard to do
Cos I don't have a wooden heart

And if you say goodbye
Then I know that I will cry
Maybe I would die
Cos I don't have a wooden heart

There's no strains upon this love of mine
It was always you from the start
Treat me nice, treat me good
Treat me like you really should
Cos I'm not made of wood
And I don't have a wooden heart

       Muss i denn, muss i denn
 (\/)  Zum "Staedtele" hinaus
  \/   "Staedtele" hinaus
       Und du mein Schatz bleibst hier.

Muss i denn, muss i denn
Zum "Staedtele" hinaus
"Staedtele" hinaus
Und du mein Schatz bleibst hier.

There's no strains upon this love of mine
It was always you from the start
Sei mir gut, sei mir gut
Sei mir wie du wirklich sollst
wie du wirklich sollst
Cos I don't have a wooden heart.
