As earlier said as in a recent post, www.myconfinedspace.com/2008/12/24/santas-little-helper/ , i took the liberty of taking this picture today of the original statue made by Paul McCarthy called Santa Claus, currently residing on the Eendrachtsplein (plein means square) in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. In Rotterdam the statue is known as \’Kabouter Buttplug\’ since the christmastree he\’s holding resembles a sex-toy called butt-plug, however the term \’kabouter\’ means pixie and not santa claus which takes Santa off the hook i guess.
Kabouter? I could have sworn they’re called Klabouter.
I need to go to Rotterdam. If you have ridiculous stuff like this around, it can only be one nifty city.
Hmm. I am internet innocent. I thought he was holding an Ice Cream…….
den haag is better, city next to rotterdam
DEN HAAG, HERE I COME.
@...ColombianMonkey: You better get good pics, you steal the lady from us…..
hmmm i havent bought a camera but i will. unless i “borrow” my brothers 2 grand camera.
Den Haag is no better than Rotterdam, just totally different, incomparable i’d say.
Besides that i find it a childish remark, it’s an ongoing stupid rivalry between 3 or 4 cities in the south-west of the Netherlands that wastes so much energy while contributing absolutely nothing.
M.a.w. het is een zielig welles-nietes spelletje waar ik lekker niet aan mee doe.
ik ook niet, maar ik weet wat je bedoelt, bijv. voetbal lol. Ik komt uit de antillen zo maakt niet uit waar is goed of niet goed. ik weet iedere plaats heeft hun eigen smaak. zo, daarom hebben we een O.V. ^_^ en ik reis al over nederland xD.
but having these wierd things is very unusual
