Mmm...my mom always told me it's not polite to point at people in 
public...guess I'd better follow her advice.
Still leaves me wondering though, why my forefinger is then called my 
"wijsvinger" in Dutch...*s*

Greetings,

Ik gloyv' ik mut Jou junckx by lütten maal by de bückxsen krygen.  Waart 
Jou, Jy krabauters!  "Of the *Day*"?!  Eckxkuysee moa?!  "*Relatively* 
friendly"?!  Daar jukt wul eyn wissen Hadeler syn vel.  "Herder" maybe, but 
"herder of cats" more like.

I didn't even realize people were talking about me.  Shows you how much 
attention I was paying; that's how crazy it's been around me these past 
couple of days.  I can't even get the dates right ...

And I've forgotten what language variety you were talking about.

Anyway, carry on!

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
