I'm currently the only entry in the Nederlands Dead Pool. You Europeans really don't want a crass American like me to win this do you?

Certainly not! The rules state that dutch deaths earn extra points, and I very much doubt that your knowledge of Dutch celebs is extensive enough to beat me...

 

(Though I'd have to enroll a team first, you're absolutely right about that. I'll give it some attention somewhere in the upcoming days, thanks for the tip!)

So you have thrown down the gauntlet? Send in your team and we shall see! What about the rest of you? Nap? Rotten Ali? Dutch-o-philes everywhere? I challenge you to a race for the stroopenwaffles or stormtroopers or whatever they are!

Oh - I do intend to have a well crafted team - hopefully fully made up of Dutch nationals, that is if I can get their "numbers" to add-up.

Working on it! - but I must admit I'm in a mess with my own work. My shortlist is already 94 names long and I know that I've not got the time to bottom out all the possible candidates back history to my full satisfaction. So it really will be a seat of my pants entry late on, during Thursday evening.

My DDP line-up is down to 27, at which point I might order them appropriately and enter this DP before the heart-breaking job of whittling them down to 20.

Live dangerously, RA. Try it my way. Throwing darts at a list on the wall is a good way to a) release some aggression, :rolleyes: improve your hand to eye coordination, and c) not get a single hit in the coming year.

Getting the dog to pick chocolate buttons with initials carved on them from a hat always worked for me. Rodney the lurcher was best at it because he had a very long snout.

Is 'snout' a decent way to say 'penis'?

Last night I send in my entry for both the DDP and the Nederlandse Dead Pool. Not many doubles on them, my NDP-team consists entirely of Dutchmen and women, except for Jean I of Luxembourg (also my DDP-joker) and Queen Fabiola of Belgium. I included several dark horses - very ill people that will surely be unique picks.

 

Edit: I almost forgot Toots Thielemans, who's also Belgian, of course!

So as the clocks strike 11pm here is my team.

Big important question - so how does it look? Remember it's only drawn from a brief internet study. And I've never been to Holland (nearest I've been was a drive via Brussels/ Lieages/ Spa & down to Luxembourge) Never seen any dutch TV, don't know more than a dozen words. It's been hell copy and pasting between Wiki in English (if it shows anything) or Dutch and in and out of Babel Fish.

Gratia Schimmelpenninck van der Oye

Piet de Jong

Tin Dekkers

Johnny Hoes (22/07/2011)

Heinrich Boere

Remco Campert

Mies Bouwman

Els Borst

Corry Brokken

Adele Bloemendaal

Bas van Toor

Jean Nelissen

Liesbeth List

Aad van Toor

Arie van der Veer

Jeltje van Nieuwenhoven

Ad van den Berg (ps edit 21/feb/2010 - Re. Peidophile Party)

Jack Spijkerman

Roy Martina

Erwin Olaf

Johannes Heesters
