Fries and snacks slothered in mayonnaise and other sauces, like curry, ketchup and peanut sauce.

We have names for sauce combinations:

Fries and … : means fries and mayo, witch is so common it needs not saying the word.

Mayo, curry/ketchup and diced raw onion: fries special.

Mayo, peanut sauce and diced raw onion: war fries.

Fries with doner kebab, salad, garlic sauce +chilly sauce, topped with grilled cheese: fries barber parlor (because the guy that came up with it worked at a barber shop)

The French taco is incredibly silly, certainly if you consider that French supermarkets stopped selling the hard shell taco years ago as it’s not authentic (they do sell little pre formed tortilla bacs in a similar shape).

How were his banjo playing skills tho

In the middle is luitenant kolonel Thom Karremans, leader of the Dutchbatt peacekeeping force near Srebrenica, to the left is Ratko Mladic the last of the Serbian forces.

Mladic promised the to let there population of the enclave to go free, and Karremans believed him.

They were slaughtered instead.

I’ll add some mouse ones: if you have thumb buttons they are next/previous page.

Mouse wheel down clicking on a link opens it in a new tab.

Mouse wheel down clicking on a tab label closes the tab (no need to hunt for the little x).

I’m currently reading Anthony Beevors ‘D-Day’… But I’m also in Normandy, so I just read that book whilst sitting on Omaha Beach, which is pretty special.

What book is it in?

This should be mandatory in Sartre.

Black humor is an important coping mechanism

I feel like idiota would be overcrowded

I caused a minor diplomatic indigent between the development organisations of the Netherlands and Germany in a small African country.

I was working for the Dutch organisation as an intern. There was a little get together of the organisations at a local bar. When introductions were made I used a WW2 term to describe our boss. I said ‘this is our ubersturmbahnfuhrer’.

This was not the right thing to say, as the leader of the German team was an ex-east German and staunch antifascist with little sense for my perceived ‘humor’. He felt personally insulted by being compared thusly and I had to shamefully go down to their offices and profusely apologize.

I think Dubai should be high on the list. A vapid city without history that only attracts people because of being expensive.

It’s thriving die to slave labor and violent racism.

Anna Karenina. There’s no better pshychological character study of upper class Russian culture (but at the same time, about people in general).

You can insulate brick walls, too, you know?

Tl:Dr Sandy was apprehensive absoluut the hose at first, but now Sandy is hooked.

Sacre mille de tonnerre !

Btw the French writer Rabelais, through his character Gargantua has established that the neck of a well endowned goose is the best for wiping the arse:

there is none in the world comparable to the neck of a goose, that is well downed, if you hold her head betwixt your legs. And believe me therein upon mine honour, for you will thereby feel in your nockhole a most wonderful pleasure, both in regard of the softness of the said down and of the temporate heat of the goose, which is easily communicated to the bum-gut and the rest of the inwards, in so far as to come even to the regions of the heart and brains.

Brain surgery?

It’s only a shame that when I click through to explore other articles in instantly hit with the paywall.

Would be comical if they added this image:

There is no greek word for penisshock

The Brits don’t take stuff to they colony, but away from it. But if ants were sentient they’d call it an empire too, most likely.

I’m Using the Dutch app Here we Go, works pretty good!
