I guy called ary_incorparated (who wrote exactly like you do) was here before you came, I think he was from Holland too.
heee but my spelling is much better now also my writing
Not from the Netherlands, but from Belgium. Does that also count? :p
Ik ben een Belg, ik hoop dat dat ook goed is. :p
So acdc is Ary-incorpporated?
o ja hoor prima pfff wat af en toe van al dat engelse gelulQuote:

No, acdc shouldn't be ary. ary liked to not use a space bar for months at a time.
Sorry guys, after all this Dutch talk I just can't help myself.
Please pay attention to minute 1:44 and on.
You should be banned for posting anything Mike Meyers has done after the first "Austin Powers" movie.
His ability to be anything close to funny died when he made "The Spy Who Shagged me".
I respectfully disagree. Austin Powers himself is not funny, but I still thought Dr. Evil was great and Goldmember had a moment or two.
And besides, I was really just going for the quote from Michael Caine
Damn evil Dutchmen.
Well I respectfully disagree to your disagreeing MrMatthews!
"Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" is a wonderful James Bond parody.
When the 2nd rolled around and Mike Meyers decided that doing shit humor was better than full on satire.....that is when he lost it.
I see your point and respect your position.
However, Mike Meyers "lost it" for me when it became evident that he was simply recycling the same damn jokes from movie to movie. The Spy Who Shagged Me's cup runneth over with horse-whipped jokes from the first film that simply weren't funny the second time.
I did find solace, however, in the fact that Dr. Evil was funnier in the second movie than in the first.
Goldmember showed a bit more originality in the fact that very few jokes from the first two films were referred to, although essentially the same pee joke was used twice, for some reason.
Again, Dr. Evil's scene in his Hollywood lair was the funniest part of the movie.
So you see, we both agree and disagree simultaneously. I agree that the original Austin Powers film was more focused as a parody of the James Bond films than its two sequels.
hmmmm yeah mr mathewsQuote:

Oh come on, dutch language isn't too far removed from the dialect of the cologne area!
Though he speaks neither dutch nor german in this clip, but another rather foreign language known by the name of "gibberish".
It is true that most Hollywood parodies of the Dutch language are based on German, but I must say that Mike Myers' interpretation of a Dutch person speaking English is quite hilarious.:D
Nonetheless, there is quite a difference in pronounciation between Dutch and Belgian people and a HUGE difference with the German language. It probably just sounds the same for American people (I can't blame you for that, I would probably say the same if I had a different native language).
Can folks from overseas tell the difference between Western, Eastern, and Southern American accents?
I don't know the difference between Eastern and Western American accents, but Southern American accents are quite easy to recognize. :)Quote:

Southern Americans have that easily recognizable accent in their voices but it is overlooked that most of them speak more eloquently then westerners and easterners.
Speaking of English accents or dialects, this is just a small example of things I run into while I'm travelling in America. It's hard to tell yourself "oh yeah, they don't use that term over here." Sometimes it just comes out and people end up looking at you strange. It's quite funny sometimes.
For example when spelling out something with Z in it. Canadians pronounce the letter Z (as ZED, Americans say ZEE). Or if I ask someone "where are the washrooms?" they look at me like I am an alien (I think they use Restrooms or something similar). A few other Canadian exclusive terms that I can think of are: tuque (a winter hat) and chesterfield (a couch), two-four (24 pack of beer), double-double (coffee two cream, two sugar), ABM (automated bank machine), and pop (carbonated soft drinks)
kinda reminds me of that "I Am Canadian" spot from a few years back:
I got one for yaQuote:

Also when I was in San Diego their where few dutch kids running around and the same thing happened. My wife being from Europe recognized it instantly. I was just confused.
"Afrikaans" must blow your mind then.
Yes very true. I feel something like this.
Over here we manage to butcher the English language, lots of people are dropping letters and adding others, the younger generations even speak some txt language, not too mention on the news the other day was a brief bit on how an increasing number of CV`s for job applications are turning up full of txt abbreviations! And we can`t tell the difference between any Americans, all we know is that they are the loudest by far turning up to our tourist destinations!:D
Text shorthand in everyday language or use on job applications is an offense punishable by being shot into the sun strapped to a rocket.

But just to prove that I'm not out purely to ruin your fun, I propose that next time I'm in town, we wrangle an angry mob together, brutally murder the first person we can find that wrote "OMG" or "RAOTFLMAO" on his resume, and then we'll take a trip to Cape Canaveral (or however it's spelled) and watch a rocket launch.
The rocket exploding Challenger style would work as a substitute for me.
My great grandfather came from the Netherlands.
I`m all for the rocket launching, if not to the sun then a country no one likes will do!
We can't litter the French countryside with used rockets and corpses of text-shorthand users.
Not enough space.
Very true indeed... does anyone use the moon?
I wouldn't worry about that Rusty. The French countryside has been littered with corpses many times already and many of them non even French.
But the used rockets would take up precious space.
The new French flag:

Long overdue change in my opinion
sorry but i think where getting off topic
i was only asking if there where some other dutch members here
NOT ABOUT
burning people
shooting people to space
eat the france
change flags
but then again i think i m the only dutch men here
You'd be right, unless Ary returns from the dead. Then he could wow us with his inability to use the "enter" key and the spacebar.
