beer? where?

that box has been discussed here

Geographically you are right, it's not Tubby on doorbells though, neither is it King on sax, and that isn't on alto either The leader is probably best known for a wild solo on a pop side.

maybe he should run again next november

sure, what can I say but:

maren, I do not thing there is any of that hidden agression here. As far as I know the sharpening guesture is a mere association of the word "uitsliepen," which even has a different origin AFAIK, with the word "sliepen." I really, very much doubt that there is any hidden knife-cutting contest in all this. Of course I can't be sure.

I wanted to give it another go tonight with all the vinty-hints, but I'm not getting anywhere today. I have been celebrating deus's birthday and my mind isn't getting clearer with the hours proceeding....

your talking about facts and truth just proves you guys are all out of touch with reality.

Truth is what you have left over when you take the facts out. I hope no one is going to drag reality into this...

(a few more of those, as we're too late...) [NOT: You have posted a message with more emoticons that this board allows. Please reduce the number of emoticons you've added to the message]

right, found it! start reading from this post by Aggie for some explanation on the matter.

as for the antipathy between the Germans and the Dutch, it's about wartime occupation, bikes, and football (soccer for the non-initiated). It's difficult to explain, but I have tried in another thread buried here somewhere. I guess finding that back is easier as writing it all up once again so I'm off looking for it. Stay tuned!

I'm dutch, but have been living in Germany for 6 years now. sliep uit sliep is pronounced like sleep no problems there uit (meaning "out") has the uniquely dutch combination of vowels ui, which is pronounce something between oy and ow, very difficult for anyone not born and raised with it. anyhow, to the meaning of the expression. You should know that it is accompanied by a hand sign in which the index finger of one hand is repeatedly moved down the index of the other, the latter pointed towards the "victim." This is a simulation of sharpening a knife. And that's where it gets interesting. The verb [sliepen] means to sharpen (of knifes, scissors, etc), and the verb [uitsliepen] means to mock. The latter verb is archaic, though (the first one as well in the meantime, when was the last time you saw a knife-sharpener in the streets?). Anyhow, mocking one among them, kids make this sharpening sign and sing the song to accompany it. It means Sliep uit, sliep uit! mock, mock! Alle kinderen lachen je uit! all children laugh at you! or iedereen = everyone laughs at you. the nênnuh nênnuh nêê nêê is close to your nyah nyah nyah

maybe. sorry for starting this thread if anyone had to face demons that were rather left buried. way cool BTW, how a thread on WHY NOT, develops into being on WHY YES? the latter indeed seems way more complicated and believe it or not I find this fascinating stuff. I haven't finished getting drunk yet so I'll be off

thanks for putting things in perspective W, I'll go and get drunk now...

with a million neon rainbows burning below me, and a million blazing taxis raising a roar, here i sit, above the town, in my pet-paillated gown, down in the depths of the ninetieth floor. while the crowds in all the nightclubs punish the parquet, and the bars are packed with couples calling for more, i'm deserted and depressed in my regal-eagle nest, down in the depths of the ninetieth floor. when the only one you wanted wants another, what's the use of swank and cash in the bank galore? why, even the janitor's wife has a perfectly good love life, and here i am, facing tomorrow, alone in my sorrow, down in the depths of the ninetieth floor.

here BTW: not wanting to keep anyone from discussing this one further in this thread of course! I plan to pick this one up myself when it hits European shores.

this album was briefly discussed in another thread on the recent UA/Capitol reissues.

isn't all of this just in your perception? just like mine doesn't allow me to hear anything of what you are writing about? I have the impression you take the "feminin-masculin" thing as something everyone can observe; that my dislike of Miles's tone has something to do with its feminin character. It doesn't.

new mirror as the other one also seems to be down: http://mirrored.flabber.nl/bloody.pingu/

what? first time you used photoshop? :rsly:

nope. dutch version is: sliep-uit, sliep-uit! iedereen die lacht je uit! or: sliep-uit, sliep-uit! alle kinderen lachen je uit! nênnuh nênnuh nêê nêê

here's another site that has the bloody version. carry on people

I am working them up as we type. I will hope to post later today. ho-kay
