Where are we going?

Dutch is keeping us alive. What was the name of that little Dutch boy who stuck his finger in the dike?

(WARNING: There's joke potential there! DO NOT GO THERE!)

That is a very silly story and it is written by an American!

That explains it then.

Good morning - afternoon in your case, Dutchgirl.

Try to keep the noise down today. My dog had a bad night and is trying to catch up on her zzzzz's. She got stuck under the couch tying to get away from a low-battery chirping smoke detector and is pretty tired. Poor thing is sleeping ON my feet which was not a good choice as I'm going to be outta here shortly.

Happy weekend!

Hey y'all. It has been a royally hellish week around here. Missed you freaks. Hope you have a good one.

Little Dutch Boy

That was Hans Brinker.

Good Morning, everybody!
Operator, glad to see you back. I was hoping that you would at least be having too much fun to hang out here!
Now we just have to find the rest of the absentees.
I know EZ is around but he is just ignoring us:(

100 . . .
 

400 to go.




Of course Hans Brinker was real. I've been told that story all my life. Are you suggesting that my parents lied to me as a kid?

Uhm...

How do I bring this tactfully?

Remember what they told you about Santa Claus?

No, it was NOT Hans Brinker. He was the one with the silver skates. I bet Bill is relieved that his parents didn't lie to him - about that anyhow!

I guess I need to Google - I have no life!

So...http://www.pantheon.org/articles/l/l...dutch_boy.html

Looks like the story was included in the Hans Brinker story by an American. :rofl:

Sheesh! We nearly had a topic! Gotta watch that.

And Hans Brinker with the Silver Skates is the same kid with the finger in the dike .

Busy boy!

Fun, what the **** does "Fun" mean?

Are you sure Hans didn't stick his finger in a pie?

At least he didn't have it up his nose. Speaking of which, where is EZ?
