Sinterklaas (with giveaway)

Recommended Posts

So, it's almost Sinterklaas, the most important holiday of the year apart from koninginnedag.

 

Sinterklaas is a Dutch holiday where we give each other gifts and have a great time together. Sinterklaas en de Zwarte Pieten come over to give kids candy and giftssinterklaas-en-zwarte-piet.jpg

 

When kids no longer believe in Sinterklaas the family holiday often changes into one that is very similar to Secret Santa. You draw straws and then write a poem for that person. It's really fun (and stressful, everybody starts writing their poems around 10 minutes before they're due and they're all absolutely awful) but it makes for a great holiday. Ultimately, Sinterklaas is about gifts, candy and spending time with your loved ones.

 

Since I can't give you guys candy I'll just give you guys some gifts. Since johnny5 was kind enough to provide me with 210 ref I'll craft 70 ref which I'll give away to the entrants. The only entrance requirement is having 50 posts as of me posting this thread as this is meant to give to the backpack.tf forums and not some randoms. And you get a bonus hat if you sing me a Sinterklaaslied or write a poem.

As for my poem .. well here's one just for you

 

Crawl away, make yourself slower,

Hide from the everlasting ban thrower,

From a dutch with an endless grower,

Ploughing you harder than a jewish boer

That sentence isn't strictly wrong right? They give candy and gifts to kids. It's poorly formulated and potentially misleading, but not incorrect? Or is my English crap again? Want als je wil dat ik foutloos de grammaticaregels toepas en correcte zinsconstructie doe met goed geformuleerde zinnen dan moet je het maar zeggen hoor, maar dan ga ik wel in mijn moedertaal praten.

I'll join, with a terrible attempt at Sinterklaas poetry

 

The Sint was resting, thinking of what to present puddingkip

An idea sprung to mind, a place for pudding to have a little ownership

An internet forum, with young and old alike

And for pudding to moderate and sadly be unliked

Puddinkip's Hungry,

Ban Hammer in hand,

He's going to find you,

Your shitposting won't stand.

 

If you're a sphere, a box or a pomp,

He'll burst through your door,

And your face, he will stomp.

 

So stay safe little children, and watch what you say,

For when puddingkip's around.....

Your shitposting dreams, he will slay.

I have a good poem for the fandoms.

Merlin is over

And Hogwarts is too

Sam and Dean's battle

Is almost through

Donna is gone

The Ponds are as well

John is sad

Because Sherlock fell

In case you were having

A good sort-of-day

I wrote you this poem

To chase it away.

 

I actually had this in one of my old notes on my old comp.

Don't know if I wrote it or stole it from somebody idk....

 

(Dutch)

Daar komt sinterklaas,
aan met zijn dikke baard, 
alle kinderen komen eraan,
met een glimlach op hun gelaat,
zo gaat sinterklaas ertegen aan,
met zijn paard en zwarte pieten,
gaat hij de pakjes stijd aan,
zodat hij kinderen met speculaas kan verrasen,
wanneer ze hun schoentje zetten.

 

 

Also, thx for the giveaway
