Description
Secretly, I'm sure he loves his kids. <3Yannik belongs to who inspired this by drawing [link] [link] [link]
I guess we share the kids? But they follow Yannik anyway, I guess Toad just thought it would be funny to make some scientifically mutated kiddos. XD

LOLOL but coming up with original replies every single time is haaard
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I know right! If I appreciate the comment but can't think of an immediate conversation to pick up, 'thanks' is about all I can deal up. XD
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Exactly! And then you feel really lame but really the other person doesn't care all that much. XD I mean, of course they are delighted when you actually start a conversation but if you don't they don't mind because they didn't even know they had a shot at that in the first place because EVERYONE just says thanks. 'Cept for some french guy who completely random invited me over to Paris.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
He invited you to Paris? That is both creepy and awesome! I would love to go to Paris, but I would also like to come back home and not be put on the MIA list. XD
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Vey big agree. Besides, I've already been to Paris, since it is only a day driving or so from here.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
... Sometimes I wish I lived in Europe. ;A;
I've never set foot on anything other than American soil. Been to Hawaii, but that's still a state.
Is Paris nice? (Oh! I forgot to ask, do you speak any languages other than English?)
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
You bet.
You know, I think it actually less big of a step to go to America then the other way round. I mean, going to another state is for you what going to another country is for me. We're used to it or something. xD
Paris is like the awesome of awesome. It is very multicultural and very fun, with lots of street performers and very awesome shops that'll leave you broke in a day. But when you go to the right places, you can get a lot of awesome before that happens. 
As a matter of fact, I do. Since I am Dutch, I speak Dutch as well as German because we live very close to the border and well, it's very similar to Dutch too. At school they teach French, so I can make myself understood there as well, although English is, no doubt, my best foreign language.
I also speak Frysk, but that doesn't count because Friesland actually is a part of the Netherlands. xD
You?

Hah, that's so cool! I can imagine that the food would be good, we have a La Baguette here and the stuff is incredible. Of course, it's really just an American immitation, but our immitations can be fairly impressive if you know where to go.
Oh, I wish I could see the street preformers. They don't really do that a lot here, plenty of guitar players and a little further south polka bands, otherwise that stuff gets reserved for various celebrations.
Should have figured! That's a lot of languages, did you learn them when you were young?(sorry to ask so many questions, I'm fascinated by cultural differences and that sort of thing) XD
I uh... I really don't speak anything other than English and Spanish (don't use Spanish much, mostly so I can understand the workers at McDonnalds). Our schools only really offer Spanish, French, Latin and Chinese, although up in Nebraska they offered German instead of Latin. Some of my friends speak the various native languages too, but since I'm only 4% Cherokee I don't get tribe benefits.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I know! I went to Calgary in Canada and they had like a German, a Dutch and a French restaurant in the same street. They only served pancakes at the Dutch one though and although very tasty, we would never ever make pancakes that way. I went to Santa Barbara as well but that was just... So very stereotype American. With blondes everywhere and surfdudes and stuff.
Well, here they don't do it a lot either, 'cept for in the large cities like Amsterdam or Utrecht but those are a bit far away from me. We have windmills though. :3 Where in the States you live exactly?
Don't worry about the questions! I know exactly how you feel. ;3 Of course Dutch is my maternal language and we go skiing in Switserland every year, hence the German. So those two I did indeed learn when I was young(er). (How old are you by the way?) English... just came to me I guess. Only childrens movies get synchronized here because we're a small country and it's quite expensive. The majority of the music is in English as well. Dutch rock music sounds horrible. Later on I liked that I was one of the few kids who were already this good at English so I started reading lot's of books in English to improve even further. Oh, going to Canada for five weeks might have helped as well. :3
And French they teach at school, so yeah, started learning that about five years ago. Still not trรจs bien at it though
But Spanish! That is so cool! I wish I could speak it too, it's very widely used. Those other languages sound cool as well, I wish our school offered them! Here we can choose between French and German, since English and Dutch are obligatory. What exactly do you mean by not getting the tribe benefits? They just don't accept you in the tribe or anything? 4% Cherokee sounds cool though. I bet you have a super tan 
I myself am some kind of melting pot with Indonesian, Japanese, Swiss, French and Dutch influences, but I don't have any profit of that either XD You can't even see it in my face, I'm like super pale.

Stereotypes are so amusing. XD
Windmills? Talk about stereotypes, that's what a lot of people would imagine I bet, along with lots of tulips, clogs, and liberals. (liberals <3) I live in Oklahoma, we have oil mills. XD
Oh! You learned it just from visiting? I guess that makes sense, it's always helpful to be able to understand what people are saying. (16) Ah, pretty much everything I've ever seen on TV was spoken in English, which is part of why Japanese movies are so much fun because the dubbing is often pretty bad. XD
Yeah, at least the Latin based languages shouldn't be to figure out once you know one. Well, sometimes you get extra education and go on hunting trips and that sort of thing. Haha! I'm actually very white, no dark hair either, (mostly Czech and English I suppose), not sure about who I got the Cherokee from, but it's a good few generations back.
I bet nobody is pure anymore. o3o
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Haha, liberals? I didn't know that was part of the stereotype as well! Though I have heard people say that your democrats have about the same ideas as our liberals. xD Oh well, at the moment they're just helping this country to death anyways so I suppose it doesn't really matter.
Oil mill, lol. I bet those don't make flour, do they? Most windmills are only still there for esthetical and historical purposes, and because they make good houses.
Well, I didn't exactly [i]learn[/i] it from visiting, but it sure helped me improve! (Me too yay!) I would love to learn more languages though, so I can go everywhere and just talk to people :3 Since you live in the States I am not surprised about everything being in English. xD But god, most Dutch movies, music and tv-series suck anyways. Listen to this and you know what I mean. [link]
True dat. They all resemble eachother fairly much. When I was in Italy I constantly spoke French to everyone, but at least they understood that better then English. x3 Czech! Woo, a very good friend of mine is half Czech and half Dutch. Nobody, no, but I don't think that's a problem. :3
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I'm tickled! You don't like liberals? *coughmoderatesarebetter*
No, they just pump oil out of the ground so we can drive our big 'ol trucks. I think I would die if I got to live in a windmill. 
It would be so much fun to be able to speak every language! Except I might want to learn the accents to go with them, since I know that when I listen to people with foreign accents speak English I sometimes have a hard time understanding them.
Okay, well... Maybe that isn't really the type of music I would choose to listen to. But I've got to try to not be biased because I grew up with different influences. XD
Really? Hah! That's pretty good, I wish it was the same with Germanic languages. Oh, yay Czech blood!

Don't get me wrong there x3 A lot of the liberal ideas I think are fairly awesome. But right now they are being very short-sighted and doing everything that will hurt us on long term. I name for example cutting budget for education like mad. The idea behind it all is personal responsibility, those who work hard earn more, are higher on the social ladder and stuff, you know, supporting the entrepreneurial (I don't even know if that's a word. I got it from google translate lol.) spirit. But they are taking a lot of drastic measures right now that will maybe work for the next ten years or so and after that we will be left with nothing.
Also, like most European societies, the Dutch' is built on solidarity: the strong take care of the weak. This spirit is threatened to be undermined now.
Wow. Wall of text.
Well, living in a windmill is pretty rare here too because those who live there are never gonna leave x3 Sure you can live in a wind turbine! I mean, they are huge so when you hollow them out they should provide plenty of room right?
So true! It would solve tons of misunderstandings too lol. One of the good things of being Dutch is that close to no-one speaks it. So you can just talk out loud about the mean girls that are staring daggers at you at the mall to your Dutch friends :3 People speaking Dutch with an accent are pretty common, since we have a lot of immigrants. It's kind of annoying though when they start mixing two languages. xD I have, by the way, a terrible accent when talking English. Seriously.
Gurl. That's not being biased. I have heard this so often now, I just plain hate it.
Pfff, yes. Although we have stolen a lot of English words. C: And you have got some from us as well. I believe that that's because we were friends back in the Golden Age or something.

Oh I see. Yes, short term fixes are generally bad ideas. That's why I'm so upset that they've started to abandon the idea of electric cars again, now that the price of gas has gone down a few cents. Both the liberals and conservatives seem to have their bad moments, I find it so fascinating how often they flip flop their own ideas. The democrats now, at least in the United States, are really just the republicans of the late 1800s and early 1900s, and vice versa in various ways. Although currently all sides seem to be at fault for one thing or another.
Ah, that's a philosophy I like! (and yes, it's a word 83) I am curious, what of these measures is threatening the ideology? I'm afraid I genuinely know very little about European politics, beyond the occasional scandals.
This is true, they are pretty massive! I've never heard of people living in them though, all the ones I've seen are pretty narrow on the inside and filled with nasty critters, but maybe they do!
That would be convenient! I would have to text for that, which is no fun anyway. Haha, just like Spanglish! XD
Oh well, I'm sure it's hard to adjust to other languages like that! And then there's where you come from, some of the idiots I know would probably have a hard time understanding the UK accents.
Aw. XD
Okay, I don't like it, I'll admit it... But I am tempted to find one of the movies!
Oh right, there is that! Isn't cookie used in Dutch too? I feel like I heard that somewhere.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I completely lost this conversation, but yay I found it back!
I know exactly what you mean. As soon as something new seems a teeny bit less profitable they all run back to what they know. And of course it's all about the moneys, what makes more money gets more support.
Dutch politicans are exactly the same. They say one thing and do the opposite xD We have a word for that: draaikonterij. Which would be something like 'turning-butt-y-ness'. Lol.
Ho yes, us is a nation of entrepreneurs! Woohoo! Right now though, they are making things like child care and education a hell lot more expensive. Which results in people (women!) working less. Ouch number one. As for the education: you now have to finish your studies in a ridiculously small amount of time so there's no time left for gaining other experiences. If you go over the limit, you have to pay lotsa moneh. This will really hurt our future chances in the world. I am lucky cuz my parents are rich and could help me pay the fee so I am fine, but lots of others are not.
Lol. Buy a wind turbine, get some rats for free. I don't think anyone actually lives in them. xD
Lol well that would just be sad xD
Hmm, try 'De Schippers van de Kameleon' on youtoob.
Hmm, water is originally a dutch word (still spelled the same), boat comes from our word boot, ship from ship, wool from wol, grain from graan. Mostly words that have to do with trade, really. xD
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Oh right! I'd forgotten myself. XD
Exactly! And thus the glorious phrase, "Drill baby, drill!". Even Canada fell victim to that one, they're supplying us with a lot of their dirt-oil and making that habit another truck load harder to kick. I'm fine driving a Toyota Echo because it has great mpg (over 40 I believe), but they don't even make those anymore, so when that goes I would really rather get an electric car. Honestly, the least they could do is improve the mpg on cars! But instead they made Hummers and others that get like 10 mpg. People can't complain about oil prices when they're buying cars like that, but they do anyway (thank goodness Hummers are dying out at least).
Seriously? That's hilarious! We need a word like that, it'd be more fun than just calling people hypocrites. XD
I didn't know about that, I thought it was getting harder for women to stay at home. How long do you usually have to finish your education? They wouldn't charge you for anything before college/university, right?
Haha! If I had enough money to do that I'd rather do what you're doing and spend it on education. XD
Not that I can't continue my studies after Highschool, I'll probably just have to get another job and it might take a bit longer is all. But that's what a lot of people do, my grandfather grew up in a slum and later became a doctor. Although to be fair it didn't cost much money to go to college back then.
Okay, I'll try it! 8D (watching movies is fun, bad SciFi too)
Haha! That's pretty good. XD

Oh, you're right!
Hm... Got any name ideas? I feel like one should be Gilbert...

Ohgoshyes. Gilbert one shall be, probably the first one, he looks like a Gilbert. <3
So the second... Hmmm, it seems to act pretty girly and adorable, so perhaps Penelope?

Aww, that's perfect, Gilbert and Penelope. <333
