+Team Van Stoffelen Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) Let's enter my own cointest... In the picture the first line of the (translated) Sinterklaas song: Hear, who knocks there children Hear, who knocks there children Hear, who knocks there softly against the window It's a stranger, for certain Who is lost, for certain I am gonna ask him for his name: Sint Nicolaas Sint Nicolaas Give us tonight a visit a then throw something delicious in this or that corner (Wow, that sound very stupid in english) Edited November 24, 2009 by Team Van Stoffelen Link to comment

+Team Van Stoffelen Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 when will this cointest end? Now! Link to comment
+Team Van Stoffelen Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 (edited) Again a cointest has ended. As Sinterklaas and Zwarte Piet are much too busy bringing gifts to all the children I have to do the job for him. First of all. Sinterklaas let us all know that he is not amused by all the fake Sinterklazen that are going around everywhere. Ofcourse he knows there are a lot of good and trustfull help-Sinterklazen, but he is not happy with all the 10 Sinterklazen in Gatoulis' post #12. There should never be more then one Sinterklaas on the same place, otherwise it will confuse the children much too much. Even so Sinterklazen should be spot on and look almost holy. That cannot be said of the Sinterklaas in post #19 by SgtMikal or in #90 by Sterni2009. It's a shame The real Sinterklaas ofcourse is the one in Gatoulis post #11. No doubt about that. And for all you unbelievers out there. Sinterklaas is not Santa Claus, and no, he does not have a helper called Knecht Ruprecht. Every Dutch child knows his helper is Zwarte Piet. And he comes in many varieties like the poëm-Piet, the package-Piet, the tell-the-way-Piet, the head-Piet, the carry-Piet, the chimney-Piet and the steering-Piet (for his Steamboat). And we could go on with this list. But now, the winner of the cointest. It was difficult to make the decision by myself so i had a little copnversation by phone with the internet-Piet. He consulted the press-Piet, who then had a little chat with the Head-Piet, who - as I was told - had a little chat with Sinterklaas himself. Sinterklaas was very clear about one thing. No Santa's could win this cointest. One cointest made him and Zwarte Piet smile. These are the winning pictures: Paganfrog, on behalve of Sinterklaas and Zwarte Piet: Congratulations!

Even he himself is called Nikolaus here and not Sinterklaas. Every German child knows that his fellow is called Knecht Ruprecht. So what? Only because he has another name in your country, our name here is not wrong. Link to comment

I know that according to every German kid there is only one Nikolaus, with his helper Knecht Ruprecht. I did check with Zwarte Piet for the horns though and he told me he has none Link to comment
