Welcoming Runs to the RC
« Thread Started on May 17, 2012, 11:43am »

Can I convince any Bona students to sing Holland's National Anthem (which happens to be the oldest in the world) next season at the first game during the warm-up to welcome Matthias Runs to our beloved RC?

Here it is:

William of Nassau am I, of Germanic descent;
True to the fatherland I remain until death.
Prince of Orange am I, free and fearless.
To the King of Spain I have always given honour.

You, my God and Lord, are my shield, on You I rely.
On You I will build; never leave me,
So that I may remain pious, your servant at all moments,

Dispelling the tyranny that wounds my heart.

You can also impress Matthias with your knowledge of Netherlands' agricultural history and chat about how orange colored carrots first appeared in the Netherlands in the 16th century. Before that carrots were white, yellow, black, purple, or red.

OK...I think it is now safe to say we know a lot more about Carrots than we do about Matthias Runs.

Give a man a computer and the Internet and he can come up with anything.

I plan on wearing wooden shoes and tossing "orange" carrots out on the floor after the first basket.

The Dutch have a great legacy in New York. You can see the orange in the uniforms of the NY Mets, Islanders, Knicks, and SF Giants. Staten Island is named for the Dutch Parliament and the Tappen Zee was thought to be a lake by Henry Hudson. Many fast streams that empty into the Hudson are called kills. Now a new chapter is ready to be written into the Dutch legacy in New York. Welcome!
