Liquorice in that shape always reminds me of tyres, but I have actually eaten one today (not in that shape, but in half winegum half liquorice form). I have never really liked liquorice, but now I seem to more appreciate it...
I was in Rotterdam a few years back, where I was offered a piece of what I assumed to be sugar-coated liquorice; only when I put it in my mouth did I realise it was SALT. Not nice.
I think you're the first foreign person who likes liquorice I've ever met. You sir, have blown my mind.
I have to ask why you were chewing and or licking old baseball gloves? Is that a normal thing to do in the Netherlands?
Yeah, it's a way of greeting. We got that tradition from the Texans, who tend to do that, even when not greeting anyone.
I thought the Dutch people would be smarter than to copy Texas. If you guys are doing that how have you not been annexed by now?
We're doing that to mislead the Germans. They think we are completely vulnerable because of our 'mental handicaps', but they don't know it's actually a kind of decoy! Stomme Moffen! Grijg de kolere!
Baseball is an American sport. When we first saw those weird gloves, we just had no fucking clue what to do with them. Weren't you against using diseases as insults 'n stuff? The Swiss have defences set up all around the country, and most bridges are armed with explosive charges to allow them to blow them up in case of an invasion. Doesn't get much more prepared than that. Although the Delta works come close.
