Remember years ago when I posted about Fox News trashing the Netherlands? Then later about the Dutchie’s response to the ridiculous babblings of Bill O’Reilly? I don’t think it’s any secret that I think Bill O’Reilly is a complete douche, nor do I think it’s an unpopular opinion. He’s a blow hard who hears nothing [...]
Well, fun for us anyway! It’s not so fun for Christiaan Van Vuuren at the moment, as he’s been in quarantine in Sydney Hospital in Australia since the end of last year. The info as of Jan 6th from his YouTube Page:
On Wednesday the 9th December I was admitted into Sydney Hospital… It wasn’t just [...]
If you haven’t been following Shit My Dad Says on Twitter up until now, you’ve been missing out, it’s one of my favorite Twitter feeds by far. It’s some of the funniest stuff I’ve read in a while, and from the first time I saw it, I thought THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT SITCOM! There’s [...]
Pixel loves the snow. When we take her out in it she sniffs around, pushes it with her nose, digs in it and runs around like someone put a firecracker up her arse. It’s a very exciting time for her!
When we first got her she hated being outside if it was anything other than warm [...]
For some reason I’ve been craving Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups lately. They aren’t even my favorite treat, although I do love the Reese’s Pieces. It can’t be explained, I just want it… a lot! We can’t get them here in the Netherlands though, and even if we could I should probably avoid them like the [...]
A while back I went out for dinner with a friend and we somehow got on the topic of milk. They couldn’t believe me when I told them that we get our milk in bags back in Canada.
They also couldn’t believe that we actually had a milk man who would come in the morning [...]
I just saw the funniest video. It’s a parody of the X-Men films using a mixture of movies like Wolvrine, Max Payne, Batman Begins, The Hulk and Blade and then put together with bits from different Tim Allen films.
Generally I’m not a fan of spoofy movies that make fun of other shit. Scary Movie, [...]
I would not want to be this guy!
Seriously… Christmas trees aren’t THAT expensive here that you have to steal one. Perhaps he feels the same as I do, that the Dutch Christmas trees are not worth buying. They are Charlie Brown Christmas Trees! They don’t even deserve to be called trees, they are Christmas Shrubs! [...]
So does Bailey!
… or maybe he doesn’t, it’s kind of hard to tell.
He also does this with choir music, fire engines and the monthly Monday at 12pm city alarm. Xander took this video last night while I was watching the end of Becoming Jane during a scene at the Opera. We’ve tried so many [...]
I may very well be the last gamer on the planet to hear about these people, but I feel the need to share… just in case there’s someone more out of the loop than I am.
The Guild are a group of gamers who came together to make their own web-based show about five [...]
Over the last year or so we’ve been talking about moving quite a lot. We even had a realtor here once to talk about our options and the only one he gave us is “Don’t bother in this market, call me again in a year!”. Right.
We also haven’t been able to agree on if we [...]
Ok two things first:
1) Ignore the mess in my house, it was when I was all sleep deprived, so there was no cleaning happening.
2) Ignore me and my doggy talk, it had to be done.
So yeah, those two things aside… you can see that Pixel is still as spazzy as ever. When she was a [...]
I love Ryan Reynolds and anyone who says he can’t act is a motard. Even though you know this video is fake you almost feel sorry for him anyway!
How awesome is Betty White too, seriously? She is such a crazy ol’ bird. I always just saw her as the cute Golden Girl but when I [...]
On Wednesday night Xander and I were going out to see Star Trek – OMG What an awesome movie!!! – and I was getting cranky because he was rushing me. Also because I was sleep deprived… AND PMSing. Seriously, he should have known better.
Anyhow, as I ran around getting dressed and brushing my teeth, I [...]
Ok this video is not for kids, nor is it for people who are easily offended. Just sayin’, don’t say I didn’t warn you!
This is the latest installment from Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg (from The Lonely Island). You may remember a previous video from these two. A little ditty called Dick in a Box.
There’s [...]
Today I had this conversation with my friend Suzy on Facebook:
Suzy: wants to let everyone know, Monday, March 2, Big Bang Theory hits Dutch TV: Veronica 9:50 =o). 11 minutes ago -
Me: at 2:51pm February 28
LOVE THAT SHOW!! I download it and watch it faithfully. I have a wee crush on Sheldon and I AM [...]
(Photo taken by Carol, an expat friend here in the Netherlands)
Apparently I am not the only one having problems with Shit Ninjas in their area. Today when I checked one of my expat lists I saw a funny message from another lady who is fed up with the fact that people [...]
The second part to the great bathroom renovation was our little toilet closet. Quite the norm by European standards but it freaked me out for the first while I was here. It literally is a closet just big enough for me and my toilet.
The weirdest thing for me in the beginning was the toilet shelf. [...]
My brother in law mailed me this video and told me I absolutely MUST put it on my blog! I have to agree with him, it’s hilarious and doesn’t really surprise me at all, it’s the Dutch humor.
I know the video is all in Dutch but basically it’s at a store called Hema (which is [...]
My husband went to Belgium for a few hours this morning and when he came home he told me that he found a cure for my stress.
Nice try, honey!
