@howard - I really really really love this clip!
My girlfriend and me saw this movie in a well filled German cinema when it came out.
When this scene came, she looked (and pointed) at me, bursted out in LOUD laughing and couldnât stop for the whole movie (annoying everybody else), on the way back home, and for a few hours before going to bed and then the next day. Iâm sure she giggled in her sleep too!
Gotta love that girl ⌠now, itâs âourâ movie

Literally ALL of my non-Dutch friends have quoted this to me, some more than once, in fact I have friends that say that every time they see me. Thinking about it, I should use it more often myself.
But nobody can do it like Michael Caine!!!
This is the kind of disgust we like.
It should be part of our national anthem, or at least part of the European anthem, if there is such a thing

It is such a great movie! I love all Austin Powers movies!
Hey, if you want to surprise her for her birthday, you could dress up in golden clothes (golden underwear as well, obviously) and do a little dance! That could also work if you want to buy a new bass, or if she finds the one under the bed. (This will only make sense for those who have seen the movie.)
Iâm not crazy! My mother had me tested! (And this will only make sense to those who have watched The Big Band Theory).

I just watched again Austin Powersâ dance to the fembots, and it isnât that much more difficult than Snoopyâs and it works nevertheless Could it be the flag on the underwear?

If you two run out of ideas for Christmas gifts to each other, you could bring this up casually in a conversation

So maple syrup? A sugar shack being a place where maple syrup is made.

Letâs not get into details
But that reminds me: if you can get it in the colonies, try âappelstroopâ!!!
Maple syrup will taste like cat p#ss after you have experienced the divine taste of appelstroop. Best served on pancakes, dutch style (the only style!).
Appelstroop (the Rinse brand is the best)
Panncakes (like God himself invented them!)
After having tasted this combination, youâll want to move to Europe too, just like @TheMaartian !

Nothing like fresh homemade maple syrup. Go out with the horse and wagon in the morning, walk next to it and collect the buckets of sap and dump them in the barrles in the wagon. No need for technology because the horse walks at just the right speed to get and dump the buckets.
Then head back to the sugar loaf (what we called it in my neck of the woods) and boil the sap down into syrup. While drinking beer.
yum

I had to read that twice, as I first misread âthe horse dumping buckets â, which somehow made the horse the source of syrup in my tired mind.
I had US âcoffeeâ, so I know that âtasteâ is different on the other side of the pond.
Now I get it. Sounds great, really. This weekend Iâll try this with a random horse and some proper Dutch apples.
American frontier romantic meets Dutch cuisine!
Who would have thunk: if we set our mind to it, the US and old Europe can create wonderful things, togetherâŚ
