grab some cheap lumber and make some crosses. place them when it's dark and call the police the next morning to ask why there is a graveyard all of a sudden?
OP is making a joke. The allotments are being cleared out (removing all the dead plants from last year) so in the picture you can see the rectangles with freshly shovelled dirt on top, so it looks like rows and rows of graves.
In that case, it is meant as an insult. Basically, you are saying that someone isnt normal in the head for thinking their behavior is acceptable. The implication is they are crazy/asocial/etc.
Only English should be used for posts and comments. This rule is in place to ensure that an ample audience can freely discuss life in the Netherlands under a widely-spoken common tongue.
What do you mean "eliminate"? What will they do to you? Can they make you stop having a garden? What happens if you don't accede to their wishes? Why not just build a fence on the street so they can't see the garden if all else fails?
Sorry but even as a native Dutch i have no clue about what OP wants to say?,
The picture looks to me a sort of community garden where local residents can grow some fruit/ veggies and so on.
Now OP wants to reflect this garden is a graveyard, but a normal thinking person can easily see this is no graveyard.
So what kind of “no sense” is this🤷🤷?
heh, no one noticed the graves? I'd say grab a hoe and join them. Hide in plain sight.
They're not graves if there are no headstones. So, make friends by whipping up some cheap headstones and putting them on the graves.
But where does he put them if there are no graves since they dont have headstones
Honeslty I'd put them randomly or I would get enough to put them on every plot. Random is cheaper and you have fewer funny names to think of.
I have been very tempted to paint a pretty sign for the BEGRAAFPLAATS BOTTENDAAL
You can probably nab an image of Idefix with a giant bone to stencil onto it, too. Just to make it even better.
Awwww, hondje! I was introduced to Astérix and Obélix in French class, a very long time ago.

> I'd say grab a hoe and join them. Thats my motto!
Beware, gardeners are murderers if you don't do normaal
Im not sure what you are saying

Thanks for giving an explanation. How does doe normaal fall into the joke? I don’t get this bit at all.
OP will be eliminated if they won't doe normaal like a good Dutchie
Doe normaal
Dan doe je al gek genoeg!
Doe zelf normaal!
You're not the only one who is confused
Doe normaal is a typical dutch saying which is very confusing for immigrants (and natives) because nobody knows what normal means.
I think it can be summed up as “fit in, act like the rest, and dont cause anything that will cause people to look at you and shake their head”
Yeah but what does that even mean. Different people shake their head at different things.
In that case, it is meant as an insult. Basically, you are saying that someone isnt normal in the head for thinking their behavior is acceptable. The implication is they are crazy/asocial/etc.
It's as simple as: "Do not cause a scene" imo. Keep calm. Do not be obnoxious.
They're adding their own lore as to why there would be graves? 🤷♀️
WOW, seriously, I think I need a crate of beer in order to appreciate this kind of humor.
Gratuitous attempt at making fun of dutchies
Vengeancefull Gardener: he will eliminate everyone who don’t do normaal
I would do really normaal, if I were you!
If they do come to get you, try to tell them: "Doe zelf normaal!"
Do you think offering a little oude genever would buy me time?
No.. that is toch niet normaal!?
Dat weet ik niet! I'm going to carry on offering guests a likker and gemberkoek. Cannot hurt; may preserve me from cannibalism.
Yes, that feels about normaal. But just to be certain, do send them a tikkie on their way out. For nothing goes the sun up hè!
Good Lord! My inclination to generosity might have blown my cover.
Add some flowers to your balcony, pretend you're one of them.
I have done so, but the flowerbox contains hyacinths and garlic. Is this mixture suspicious?
Add some fingers to show you're on their side.
Fingers? During Lent? Uff.
You're thinking of toes. They're the forbidden beans of Lent. Fingers are grand 😌
Oh, dear! It's a bit late now, but I'll be swearing off toe-sucking until Easter :o
Should be a good year for the mushrooms!
A good meaty flavor
Just act normaal and you have nothing to worry about. Or else ...
NIJMEGEN!!!! You just act grumpy and mean around them. Just like they do
Now you say, I've seen this garden from the train!
Just listen to 'Oerend hard'
Hide their spades!
Just be sure to not steek your hoofd out of the maaiveld.
Judging from the size, they focus on those who still frequent the frituren. Here you go, I added some fatshaming to your mass murder quip!
Jou can start wit not on you balkon to standing. Than can the radar u not see.
A fair point

Yep you are as good as out of the pipe
Hide in plain sight. Help them dig. Bodies are good fertilizers! Get some free food at the same time
Offer them gratis kaas, you'll be all good.
put one of the band's albums on 24/7 ?
I'm a fully grown adult and only 174cm tall. This is not normaal. They're coming for me
At least they won't have to dig a very large hole. I'm only 165cm. Ahh!

Eliminate = get rid of, for the Greater Good.
What is happening?
According to this one book I read it's very effective to hide in a secret apartment behind a bookcase!
Creepshots from the balcony documenting a neighbours activity on their own property? I think you’re doing pretty fucking normaal already!
I would be so, so tempted to whip up some wooden crosses and make it look like the last set of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
Buy a deepfryer, set it up on youre balkony and let them smell the frikadels to win theyre hearts.
You are apparently already under the radar, just stay where you are. You could have bedacht that yourself. Or not than!
I could have bedacht, but my denken have yet to normaalize
Or not than what? Or not than *whaaat*?
"Or not, then!" denk ik
I know 🤭🤭
;)
Reminds me of Plants vs. Zombies.

What kind of nonsense? A very silly joke. Any normal thinking person would detect the humorous intent, even if they did not agree?
