GeenStijl Kingsday Manual for people of Ukraine
Very useful Kingsdag Manual by your makkers of GeenStijl
Belanghebbende vraag voor alle Nederlanders: hoe leg je die Oekraïners nou uit wat Koningsdag is? Kijk, ónze Marokkanen hebben gewoon een koning, die snappen die shit wel. Surinamers doen ook lekker mee. Polen zijn aan het werk. Turken zitten in het koffiehuis. Nederlandse Turken vieren gewoon Koningsdag, dat doen Nederlandse Turken in Turkije ook. Zijn dat eigenlijk wel Turken? Maar nu hebben we ineens heel veel Oekraïners, soms zelfs in je eigen huis potverdrie, en die moeten natuurlijk mee op, euh, oorlogspad! Derhalve, in het voor Nederlanders welbekende steenkolenengels: hello people from Ukraine! This is your Kingsday Manual!
One week before Koningsdag
One week before Koningsdag (that is NOW, maybe you are too late already), you will go to the street with walkingchalk (stoepkrijt) and then you will kalk large plots of land. In these plots you will write: BEZET. This means: this place is mine! This is a legally binding contract between people. Every judge in every Dutch court will verdict in your favor if somebody else claims your spot as if it was his of hers. So, always remember: writing with walkingchalk means: this is mine now! (the Russians could have done that in your country, but they chose to do it the hard way)
Koningsdag 09.00 uur - Sing at the aubade
In the morning of Koningsdag, first we have the aubade. Then you will go with all the people from the village or the wijk and then you sing the Wilhelmus. And sometimes in the province, you will sing the province-volkslied as well. In Gelderland for example, you sing the Gelders Dreven, not the stupid Ons Gelderland. In Drenthe you sing the Drents volkslied written by Jan Uilenberg, and so on, and the mayor of the town does a speech but nobody really listens.
09.15 uur - Oranjebitter
After the first beslommeringen from the aubade you will drink your first Oranjebitter of the day. This is not only good for your darmstelsel, but also makes you very like the roses. In Dutch that is: "Ik ben al lekker rozig." Most of the times, this will walk very out of the hand, en you will be drunk by noon.
