OMG - I LOVE that!!!!! Please, please, please tell me he really said that. That would be hysterical. Please!!!

[Marjolein]

it says: My inflatable boat is full of eels

[icvanstra]

My hovercraft is full of eels.

or from what I'm told more literally "my air cushion boat is full of eels."

...it's a goofy phrase that I learned a long time ago. Not even sure when, where or how I learned it.

What???? I just assumed that Dutch line was a translation of the line above it. That's so boring then. There's nothing to make fun of if you MEANT to say it.

I'm pretty sure you were really drunk when they learned you this Just so you know, nobody has a hoovercraft in Holland, yeah toy-size maybe And what the hell do the eels have to do with it I can teach you way better lines in Dutch Like "dat doet ie anders nooit" or "ga je moeder pesten"

Oh, nice pic Eric, I hope you only where that shirt yourself when you are scared off getting lost in the dark, it's like a beacon

Orange or not, I can just read Cino's mind! Aw, Cher', poor babae! (Cajun French by the way). Just wait, Cino is gonna get even one day!!

No other photo's this month???

My photobucket is so slow. Uploading anything takes a good long while, but I agree that the submissions s*ck so far.
So I guess I will have to suffer through photobucket later this week.

[Marjolein]

I'll have to dig for anything orange, think I ritually burned it all after the soccer finals

Eric, I can't even get a decent shot of Geyser...she dives at the camera whenever I try, or else, she's doing something on the floor/ground and it's pretty boring to look at (except for me, of course )

Give the beast an orange toy, that might do the trick.

Great idea! I actually have a little orange football thing...hmmm....(it still won't be a great picture )

[vneerland]

I had a brindle that had an orange ball with little feet and little horns. It was by far his favorite, and he looked pretty cute holding it. Wondering if I still have a pic of that, somewhere.....

[k9katet]

Vada's first born was an orange football squeaky toy thing. She use to have false pregnancies. I don't think I ever got a pic of it though.

[Marjolein]

ok, well, Ivil hates Eric now, but hey, anything for the photocontest....



and this one is a message to Eric from Ivil, not for the competition


The eyes say it all... you're lucky to live on the other side of the big lake Eric!! Ivil is VERY insulted...

{edit} can't get them to rotate.... sorry, bend your necks

[vneerland]

Oh Marjolein that one is going to be hard to beat!
So this is a wiener dog?

The logo on the attire says "unox" which is a brand name like Oscar Meyer over here. Sausage and wieners.
@ Marjolein: dachshunds (teckel) here are often called wiener dogs, because they resemble...well...a wiener (=hot dog)

At least she was true to her heritage! Good girl.
