That is a different guy form "our" Stijn.

Yes, just curious what a search on "Stijn" would yield.

So we will have to check with our master if I should change the thread title to Constantijn or Augustijn then. :)

This thread was only on page 5 of my Yahoo search. How can we improve that?

Would perhaps lend the title a certain air of royal ambiance.

There is also a soccer-playing stijn. He seems to be the Honey Badger of soccer.

oh, boy. you have no idea.

yep. there is talk that some of the ski resorts will be opening soon. we have about three inches in our front yard, right now.

that honey badger piece is the bomb. the same guy has done about eight other short clips in the same vein. hilarious.

i just checked the snow report at brighton. they've already received 36" of snow and it is currently snowing there. good times.

Snow???? Quit saying that word!!!!!! It's bad bad luck!!!!!!

they are planning to open this thursday. i think i am going. time to tune the board.

The wife wants to go to Bend for Thanksgiving this year. Last year we tried but the roads were ice from here to there.

i love bend. we've stayed at the mcmenamins there a couple of times.

It's where I grew up. Changed a ton.

Yeah Augustine or Constantine shortened, I think it was popular in Flanders before it became popular in Holland.
I'm not Royalty, but Winston Churchil said about Ypres , where I was born and raised: "Ypres is Holy land to the British Empire". So practically that makes me sort of a Saint to the Brits and their royals" isaint or royal? No brainer really.. Heaven awaits for saints, for royals it still is up to st Peter...

i bet its changed a lot. very good beer, as well.
