Hey, I'm of Lower Saxon peasant stock - there's little we respect quite
as
much as our dungheaps! They collect contributions from everybody, let
them
ferment for a while, and then provide the fertile soil that is needed
for
growth and development. Their contents are carried out into the world
and
spread around - a little here, a little there - for the benefit of all.
Much
like Lowlands-L. Only it smells better.

Two strong men will have to hold me up... or back...
... als je maar niet vergeet, om er ook nog je klompen bij aantetrekken!

Misschien kunnen we dat wel als de officiële Lowlands-L-klederdracht
invoeren... dan weten de aanwezige vrouwen helemaal niet meer, welke
kant ze
op moeten kijken!

On the other hand... maybe some things are better left unimagined... :-)
