HAPPY KONINGSDAG!

DRIEMAAL HOEZEE VOOR Koning Willem-Alexander Claus George Ferdinand, Koning der Nederlanden, Prins van Oranje-Nassau, Jonkheer van Amsberg! HOEZEE! HOEZEE! HOEZEE!

The King reaches the age of 54 today and we hope that he bestows his eternal grace upon us on this blessed day. Remember that, in honor of Koning Willem-Alexander Claus George Ferdinand, Koning der Nederlanden, Prins van Oranje-Nassau, Jonkheer van Amsberg, the AoE3:DE developers have decided to take the servers down for two hours. This gives you the ideal moment to re-lit the candles at your altar, eat an orange tompouce, and watch the Royal celebrations on the television.

LEVE DE KONING!

Is your king less useless than Spain's or the UK's ?

It's so cute seeing all the flags that are out on King's Day. It does make me wonder why people don't just always have their flags out like they do in the States. What is this cultural difference of showcasing the country's flag? Americans have their flags out all the time, not just on the 4th of July, but why? How do other countries "do" their flags?
Time is wise and our wounds seem to heal to the rhythm of aging,
But our past is a ghost fading out that at night it’s still haunting.

I guess American patriotism and European patriotism isn't quite the same. Flags are brought out over here (UK) mainly when we have big national sporting events or national holidays, it's unusual to just have it hanging around during normal periods of the year like you guys do in the USA.

Yeah i think flags are nice for traditional and ceromonial events instead of having flagpoles in every garden. A good example is the last night at the proms [there are other flags there which actually adds to the experience]

Although putting up flags can be very readily linked with negative nationalistic feelings. At least here

In Europe, you usually see flags on public institutions' buildings.
But it'd be weird to see them on pubs or stores.
There's just no such cult for collective identity massage like in the US, where they feel the need to invoke it in every aspect of public life.

Wat zyde gy tot my, gy kleine duyvelspecht? Ik beveel ge er kennis van te neemen dat ik met lof ende goedkeuring een kaapersbrief heb gehad van Willem van Oranje ende betrokken ben geweest by talryke geheyme offensieven tegen Alva en de zyne, en zelfstandig meer dan drie honderden Spanjolen heb omgelegd. Ik ben gehard by den Katergeuzen en ben den beste schutter onder den Nederlandsche vlag. Ge bent niet meer dan myn zoveelste doelwit. Ik zal u uyt myne gewest verwyderen met een nauwkeurigheid die de wereld nog nimmer aangechouwen had. Let op myn verdomde woorden! Gy denkt dat ge deze leuhgenpraat aan my kan verkoopen per postduyf? Gy had tweemaal moeten denken, cattengehspuys! In dezen tyd dat ik deze missive opstel, stuur ik opdracht naar myn geheymen samenstel van verspieders ende vloerduyven, verspreid door den Republiek der Zeven Verenigde Nederlanden en wordt dezen postduyf gevolgd, dus ge kunt zich maar beter voorbereiden op den storm, rabaut. Den storm die het bedroevenden klyne ding dat gy uw leven noemt weg zal vaagen. Gy bent dood, kind. Ik kan overal, ten alle tyden zyn ende ik kan ge op zeven honderden wyzen doden, ende dat is slechts met myne bloten handen. Niet alleen zyt ik veelomvattend geoefend in den ongewapenden krygskunst, maar alsmede heb ik het voltallige arsenaal der watergeuzen ter myner beschikking ende ik zal dat benutten om uwer lamlendigen achtereinde van het vastenland te vagen, gy klynen schobbejak. Als gy had geweten wat voor eene goddelooze vergelding uw 'geestige' missive teweeg zou brengen, had ge misschien op uwen tong gebeten. Maar dat kon ge niet. Gy deed het niet ende nu zult ge de tol betalen, gy verdomde smeerkanis. Ik zal furie over u schyten en gy zult er in verzuypen. Ge zyt dood, hoerenzeune.
