Is Robert Gesink soft?

[Moondance]

I already admited i dont understand the joke. Enlighten me.

And I never said Dutch wasnt important, just that i dont speak it.

And if i wanted to be part of "Dutch Mafia" i wouldnt be baiting Dekker T about Gesink all the time.

I did however set up the group "The Dutch Mafia" hence i am a "founding father" and nothing you can do will change that

Yeah... We've already explained that too. You're the front man. And we all think you're doing great in that role.

Let op drempels, hitch. They want to klopp you.

How Long is the name of someone who might be a Chinese person

Its basically the oldest Dutch joke that I know of. Every Dutch person has heard it approximately 1000x in his or her life.

Yeah, it is probably the first joke anyone ever hears, it is especially the first joke anyone understands

All right this is starting to worry me. I have no idea what the joke is. Seriously what is the catch.

And Hrotha speaks dutch?

The correct response to the question "How Long is a Chinese person" is "How Long is his name".

If you can't figure that out then we might need to consider finding a new front man.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

The name of the chinese person is How Long.

That's the joke. Hoe Lang is een Chinees. Then people go guess the length of someone Chinese, while the joke is that Hoe Lang is a chinese person.

Hoe is the first name and Lang is the lastname...

The question can be understood in two manner the first one is:

How long (as in length) is a Chinese?

The other one is:

How Long (as in a name, probably spelled as Hu Lang) is the name of a Chinese person?

The joke is that someone might try to answer the first question, but the joke is that you always mean the second one

I'm sort of learning Dutch, and anyway the sentence is pretty obvious when you have some basic notions of Dutch spelling and one or two Germanic languages.

As for the joke, this might help.

i think that in mandarin(Chinese) just like in Japanese the last name comes first. so how(hoe isn't really a good word to say on a english speaking forum ) is his last name and lang his first. i am just being picky don't take it seriously ^_^

btw gesink is softer then a baby's **** . . . joking gesink is improving every year and i like the way he can suffer on a bike. tho if what D_T says is true he needs to learn how to peak for the tour and not a week before the tour

Why isn't hoe a good word for an English speaking forum, it is just a garden utensil.

(I think you mean ho )

Well, I got it pretty quickly (maybe it's the small amount of Dutch in me). Reminds me a bit of that "Who's on 1st" routine.

What are you asking me for? I'm asking you.


But, yes it is exactly like that

Err, my avatar, and the length of date please? This thread of mine smacks of pure epic fail from yours truely.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Just read an article in our newspaper about the Rabobank season start.
They didn't do anything different than normally, just the luck was on their side more than last year, and the many young riders in the team all progressed obviously.
And now the part about Gesink, according to Delahaye (Rabobank trainer) his physical tests scores were again much better in all areas than last year, when he was already world class.

 

[Havetts]

Either he is peaking now, which I kind of doubt, or hes improving even more.

Which newspaper was it btw DT?

AD probably... They're pretty cycling-obsessed.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

De Limburger, they have a good cycling department.

 

[theyoungest]

This is the article, I guess? It's from BN De Stem, but it's probably the same one.

BTW, at first glance I thought the photographer was called Benoit Dopage.

Perhaps we should rename this thread "Gesink is going to win the tour" Call me fanboy but I actually think he can: his head his screwed on the right way and he is totally living for his sport.

To be quite honest, with Schleck and Contador at the tour, he has no chance, probably Sanchez and Basso will have more chance. Gesink would have better luck trying the giro (although perhaps not this years giro) or the vuelta if he is going for a win. But he can make the tour top 5 this year, if he does not get injured
