For your reading pleasure.

The text below contains both all Dutch as English sentences, but if you click the link below, some magic behind the screens will make sure to hide all the funny words. Please mention your favorite Dutch word(s) in your response.

* Ok, since the text has doubled in size now and the original article was quite lengthy already, I'm only going to post the beginning here instead of cutting it up, so everyone, make sure to click the link for the full circus.
