I am the last guardian of AFSJJBDDD.

Incidentally can I offer you a chalice of water? I have many to choose from.

It might help not shouting in Dutch. They're even more likely to think
you've gone crazy if you do that. You already look weird enough with
that freaky pale skin and those strange round eyes.

To be fair, fireworks have been going off here since august on a weekly
basis. The last month about daily. I haven't seen pig-nose-restaurants
accompanying them though. Even the number of dead people is
disappointingly low.

What was that about "too many cultural references"? They're planning to
remake the stand as a four part movie. They're hoping to get Christian
Bale as the lead.

Anything close to a border, so basically the whole of the Netherlands,
changes into an explosionfest this time of year. In Belgium the stuff
that goes boom is available year round.

Weirdest I've seen was in the Mid East of our country. 10 year olds
riding around on bikes, shooting rocket fireworks out of their bare hands.

Was that a Data reference or a Johnny Five from Short Circuit one? I
know it wasn't the Bionic Man, as he wasn't programmed. Just equipped
with superior hardware.
