"Ferinner with a dikkunary"

Recommended Posts

Since I started posting here a couple of weeks ago blasting away like I was on 'wreck dot' again I lately realised I never introduced myself.

How impolite. :$

My name is of course my name, I jump since 1979 and have a place of my own (can I mention it? can I? www.skydive-ameland.nl nobody can read what is there anyway - but eat your hart out, I never pay for my jumps hehehe...)

Sometimes you'll find me hard to understand. That isn't you, but is due to the fact I don't think in your language. I have to translate everything I want to say here in English / American. I'm a foreigner with a dictionary. (nowadays a computerprogram; it doesn't translate but it is faster than a book...)

Then again, when I leave an airplane simultaneously with other dutchmen we don't say 'Klaar, Zet Ga!' but we say 'Ready Set Go' like normal skydivers...B|

My spelling stinks - but now you know why...

Oh, well that's a lot more tame than what I was thinking! :$


Soo. You were thinking something more like "Funky dude with a genital disease". :D;)

Foreigner with a dictionary, indeed.

Actually, I think it was the infamous Snuffy Smith (the loudest mouth on rec.skydiving) who can take credit.

"Funky dude with genital disease"?!?!?

It isn't as if I is speaking Frunchie, now is it?B|

(Funny: While the English and the Dutch were speaking about 'French disease". the French were speaking about 'maladie italien' - makes you wonder what the italians were saying...'malattia venerea', according to my dikkunary - sounds as if they blamed the venetians, who traveled among the arabs and everybody knows that - oh well...)

There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge.



Dr. Gonzo, is that you?B|

Of course Dr. Gonzo is still in the hotel!



But where did Raoul Duke go? And - another thing the management would like to know - who's gonna pay for the damaged carpet? >:(
