I've recently made very good friends with a Dutch immigrant, one of the most stupendously "cool" people I've ever encountered. Apparently "cool" still exists in Holland, and still has some sort of cultural relevance as an attribute to possess. He makes a lot of homebrew and plays a lot of bocce ball.
I'm strongly reminded of those terrifying Dutch candy commercials. Y'know, the ones that are all about dog farts and cow boobs and have their own terrifying amusement park in Denmark. You know.
