Such a very nice surprise.
polarbeardj you may empty the pølsevogn (the hot dog stand) - and we'll roll one more out for you  and the other hungry crunchers with top40.nl I hear you like music of different kinds. Please listen around and you'll find that captain adriverhoef has found ever so much for us of all kinds. Which is you favorite music ? |

This time of year this song reminds me of family Christmas gatherings on my moms side were this song was always mandatory.
And anything these guys do is great to watch Steve and the Seagulls Really when it comes to music I can not pick a favorite, its what fits the moment. |

Thank you for these two examples of your current musical favorites these days, polarbeardj. I'm sure
- sorry, not to be sure of anything - I think! our captain will have something for you in kind. So stay tuned, please.  The 'Court Of King Caractacus' reminds me of what the police used to use before more advanced breathanalyzers were invented. I imagine it never fails to evoke some annual laugh in your family  |

Good Morning Base Campers!
See who came for dinner, captain adriverhoef! - the best temporary captain Base Camp ever had  Who are we right now? An orangutan with a rasta hat A penguin A polarbear OlddanIT – silence is golden but my eyes still see. You come here late. Are you on the West Coast? I’m not curious at all. I have my e-mail listed here if you’re shy. Finnish Sisu -sauna and mackerel and muesli and the occasional dentist sedation Northeastern Indiana – that’s all I know ipkh and that is more than nothing I’m not the slightest curious Sometimes my Little Brother  It feels as if We are the champions! It seems we are substaining on Heineken! We must be able to find something better. Clue, Adri: Belgium Trappist  But finally a man in a skimpy costume  We’ll get to the Race and Challenge results later. I shipped Upstairs Yvonne off on her first leg of a three week trip to Andalusia, Spain, early this morning. She may be on to something. I felt a pang and a pull …. |

Our standings in the two races we are running
Christmas 2017 Race We are still at #12 and dash from #13 Kraland at increased speed, while SeriousCrunchers are still in front of us at #11. top40.nl now has a 296.106 points distance to cover to catch SeriousCrunchers. Little Brother, you can have cashpoints for a ticket with Norwitchian Air to Europe. Paris, London, Oslo  – even Amsterdam  which do you fancy? Oh, you prefer to plough snow at home ...  and in Texas Fair enough. We like #12 - much better than #13. Kraland IV Challenge CRUNCHERS SANS FRONTIERES - such a beautiful team name - are indisputably in front with more than double the results of SeriousCrunchers at #2. top40.nl are #3 just 12 points behind them. SETIKAH@KOREA squeezed themselves between us and Kraland at the #5 spot, and even as Kraland had a new member joining yesterday (well done) they have a bit to go until they can pose a threat to our position. But Kraland is 49 results in front of no less than Chicago-IL-USA, America's Second City  I would call this a very good day for us, captain adriverhoef. What do you think? And how is our frontdeskcomputer? Not to mention yourself? Any aftershock? For my part, I received a number of awfully heavy tasks. Zikas that run for some 20 hours on Saphir12-Nathalie. So that means relatively few results/day Those are mainly gone now, so up come Ebolas at some 12 hours/WU. At my favorite Norwegian weather website they run an article about a rare rainbow phenomenon – rare because it took place at –10C/14F, and the article is accompanied by these pretty pictures: https://gfx.nrk.no/5YuPtCcAYA5booVPRahk7AOwEmIvzc2ugW9YtU9STgHw https://gfx.nrk.no/vwJkOwz7fxqvdW4rOY4iiAZ5AhG3H4RNtm0wcMAda1JA https://gfx.nrk.no/Al2SW6A5Zi3StyxAtA7kOg5JGUMd5B72JtevL37acoPw |

Captain adriverhoef, they called from Harlingen to enquire how you intend to make this container whole again. You should have seen me with that bag of charcoal planted onto my head What did you do to it? Oh, you flinged that bag of charcoal The one you grabbed from sujo1's pickup? It must have been very heavy! Oh, you thought that container was sujo1! Aha! I was not aware you were this strong even when overcome with fear an fury …  by sujo1 and the doctors trying to peel it from my head. After they succeeded the bag of charcoal was sent to Grand Hotel where you needed it for the BBQ and I clearly needed a rest.  The container is another song. There's gotta be a certain misunderstanding when you got that call from Harlingen. There were a bunch of them (containers) and one of them was meant for the Grand Hotel. The containers were lost during the night of Friday on Saturday, almost two weeks ago, during stormy weather over Ameland by the German cargo ship Leoni P. It was filled with chocolate bars, yes, Tony’s Chocolonely. Christmas Race 2017 11 SeriousCrunchers 8,612,257Kraland - Challenge IV, its first day 2 SeriousCrunchers 1,327 |

You should have seen me with that bag of charcoal planted onto my head Believe me, I would have loved to!  Yes, I read the containerstory in the Harlingen Courant and nicked the picture- it’s a Maersk Line container Sometimes ’the full truth’ is just sort of disempowering a story, right? I think I picked that up at George Washington Law School I expected you to reveal the full truth and nothing but What a pity that all that chocolate was lost …. Do you know what? Following the The containersong comes Kilometervreter. I saw those trucks to the right of your YouTube link.  You may not know this, but trucks are a fetish of mine. Above all Peterbilts. Scanias will do since Peterbilts are unobtainable on our continent. And I’ll make the song and the songtext which I have copied my Dutch Lesson 2! And try to figure out what it means myself. I know you are busy dealing with the 400+ OCR pages and ’more to come’, but you have asked for a polarbeardj so many times. I hope you can find a minute to welcome him. He has warned already that he may not come to too many dinners. I’ll do my best to find something good for tonight, so you have a chance to meet a polarbear. Hmmm … maybe I should go for seal meat or possibly walrus … just trying to take the Disney animal cuteness out of it  |

Hi Base Campers!
Greenland is the world's largest island - 2.166.086 km² ~ 836.300 sq.mi - and is part of the Kingdom of Denmark with a high degree of sovereignty. Greenland's flag is a beautiful modern allegory of the midnight sun and the polar winter.  Dinner Tonight we’re going Greenlandic – what else with a polarbeardj on board now? We will have: * dried whale meat - a rather tasty protein-packed snack, similar to beef jerky in the US * diced narwhal blubber rich in vitamin C and oily fats with a crunchy consistency - we will sprinkle with salt or douse it with soy sauce * a seal soup traditionally made with onions and potatoes, rice or barley and the seal meat which has a pungent, gamey flavor * a raw tartare of musk ox - the long bearded one * a dish of dried, salted cod * roast eider * Atlantic cat fish * lumpfish roe * free range Greenlandic lamb - considered one of the best quality cuts of lamb in the world because of the clean and pristine conditions in which they are bred * tapas adapted to Greenlandic raw ingredients - such as musk ox pate, dried whale and scallops There will be no dessert tonight. But we shall join in singing the beautiful Christmas hymn in Greenlandic Guuterput - and enjoy how pretty Greenlandic fare can be made look |

Do you know what? Following the The containersong comes Kilometervreter. I saw those trucks to the right of your YouTube link. Maybe it's interesting to note that Henk Wijngaard's first hit was "Met De Vlam In De Pijp" (With the flame in the pipe) (here is the Dutch text of the song). You may not know this, but trucks are a fetish of mine.… And I’ll make the song and the songtext which I have copied my Dutch Lesson 2! And try to figure out what it means myself. I know you are busy dealing with the 400+ OCR pages and ’more to come’, but you have asked for a polarbeardj so many times. I hope you can find a minute to welcome him. He has warned already that he may not come to too many dinners. Tonight on TV I saw a nice scene: an icebear pleasantly lying down, enjoying the sunshine, with its cub, and thought of ice in the sun. I hope you'll enjoy your stay at Grand Hotel just as much, polarbeardj! If you think your room is still too warm (we have shut down the heater, removed the hotwatertap and opened all the windows in your room, so the freezin' cold (inane sea, nine shoes, all) — right? — is unhinderedly flowing into your accommodation), don't call us, we'll call you - no, I just started a joke - so if it's too warm in your icy white room just call me and I'm sure we'll find a solution to suit your needs. |

I forgot to ask if the Grand Hotel allows pets. I have 4 dogs that would like to come along for the trip. They will be happy to eat as many hot dogs as you can find. I'll stick to tiramisu and ice cream ;-)
