            Haha! Don't you dare! If you don't like Captain Hagelslag, how about 'Dutchsquatch'? It suits because you are Dutch (duh) and tall, like a sasquatch. Posted 4 years ago

              This one makes more sense, but doesn't roll of the tongue easily. By the way, the word "sasquatch" was entirely new to me, we refer to the creature as Big Foot. Posted 4 years ago

      I tried. But you can tell from the look of astonishment how little appreciation there is. Maybe it really was just going for a swim. Posted 4 years ago
