DUTCHIE... A COW AND HER QUEST FOR MORTY (HER MOOSE HUSBAND)


30-3-2001: Dutchie asked me (red) to let you all know that everything's fine. She has just arrived at Marn's place and she's so happy. There he was, her Mortimer... Don't they look like a perfect match???

Mortimer and Dutchie...

So for me, my job is finished. We didn't won the competition but after all that wasn't the main issue. I'm glad for Dutchie and Mortimer that everything went perfect and i wish them all the best in the future. May there be lots of little moosecows...

5
-3-2001: We're finished.

It's sad but true, team Newkirk has won the competition and there was nothing we could do about it. They crushed us by 540 units.

So this means that...???

Yes, I will be heading to the land of the Canadians and start myself a new life together with Morty. It's a happy ending after all. Yuck...i hate happy ending stories. Well i hate them as long as they don't concern my own life.

The truth is that i just can't wait to go, i'm so excited. Red is getting all my papers ready and i just started packing.

As far as i can see i will be leaving on the 14th of this month. I need some time to say goodbye to my dear friends and familly, i hope i can do without them. Red was talking about a goodbye party, i hope he doesn't do any crazy things.

Though we are crushed by the Canadians, team Betronic Design wants to congratulate team New Kirk with their victory. And especially Marn who started the whole thing. She's a fun person (with a little too much spare time though :). Marn thanks...

And of course thanks to all the Betronic Design team members that helped us. Next time i expect you to be more dedicated, and get some faster computers you stupid b*st... :)

No just kidding, thanks to all!!!

(more updates will follow during the next days...)

Me and Red...


26-2-2001: Could i, Dutchie, be suffering from SCD (Stuffed Cow Disease), a form of mad cow disease that until recently was not aknowleged by the officials. A question asked by the Canadians that again shows their little knowlegde about what is going on in the world.

SCD, as we all know, was recently discoverd in little stuffed cows that were made in Taiwan. By mistake they stuffed a batch of plush cows with the wrong material, meant to stuff the heads of little plush sheep. A terrible mistake.

How is it possible that plush cows not made in Taiwan can be infected with SDC i hear you ask. Well, SDC can be transfered by recycling or patching worn stuffed animals.

Look at me, do i look like a Dutch cow or not? Ok, i was born in Germany but my parents moved to Holland when i was just one month old. My birth certificate says i don't have any recycled materials running through my veins, neither have my parents. Could it be possible i was patched before? Of course not, i'm not a little kid's toy. Being a model i can't afford walking around with patch scars.

So do i have SCD? Even if i would be infected (yes i've just had my regular tests), it's a personal matter. Would you put your medical files on the internet? I guess not. It's something between me and Mortimer. SCD isn't like BSE and certainly not as dangerous. I do have a heart and i would never risk the lives of plush animals living in another part of the world. It's a matter of trust.

And who says i'm going to Canada, there are still two days to go...


23-2-2001: Only a few days left and i will be together with Morty, and i know he's looking forward to see me back again. Team Betronic Design is going fast but if things continue like they do now i have to pack my bags and leave for Canada. Not that really care, as long as i'm together with Mortimer it's ok for me. I just hope Red can take it, he's not in a very good mood the last few days. So i ask everyone to join team Betronic Design and help me get Mortimer over from Canada. We need you...


14-2-2001: Valentines day... I'm so happy!!! Mortimer remembers me!!! He had a little accident (nothing serious) that has ended his amnesia. He left a note in my guestbook and when i came home from working on the farm, there it was, a beautifull card from my sweet Morty. I don't care what will happen in the future, i know he still loves me and that we will soon be together...


5-2-2001: Today i've got my first supporter from outside The Netherlands and her name is Chee. Chee is from Australia and will help the Betronic Design team to collect enough seti@home results. Dear Chee, thank you so much...


4-2-2001: Sometimes life can be hard. It turned out that Morty doesn't remember me. He seems to be suffering from amnesia. The memories, our precious moments, everything gone????

Then this guy called Buffalo Bill
came around the corner, ehm...well it turned out that he recently came out of the closet and seems to be a related to Morty.
Morty has a family, i'm so exited
. One day i hope to see them all.

I've heard a rumour about Morty having feelings for Bullwinkle of the Rocky and Bullwinkle show. My Morty, bi-sexual? I can't believe it!!! I must admit that i have shared some moments with Bertha-2 once, but that was nothing, just an experience in the quest for my true self.

I get the feeling the Canadians try to fool me again, and hope i will loose interest in my Morty. No way, whatever happens i will get him back!!!


4-2-2001: Red just told me i was talking nonsense about the Canadians. They're not that bad as i thought they were. Well i don't know, all i know is that i want to be with my Morty. And for this i blame the Canadians, although i'd rather would like to blame the French. The French are no fun at at all.


-- THE STORY --

Hi,

I'm Dutchie, a little Dutch cow.


it's me, Dutchie...

My boss and friend, Red Moose, created this page for me to help me find back my dear friend, pal and husband, Mortimer.
Mortimer is a moose, and a very good looking one too, my dear when i see him in his mountie suit he really turns me on. muuuh...

isn't he cute, my sweet Morty...

Well, Mortimer is actually Canadian but he moved to Holland after we had met during the summer holidays. He told me he had enough of the Canadians and their prejudice against everything that is Dutch.

It all happened a few weeks ago when Mortimer and I were on our honeymoon to the Caribbean island St. Maarten. We had so much fun and the sun gave us both a really dark tan. Though being a cow i have to be carefull not to burn my white spots.

One day Mortimer and i walked around the island to see some birds. Mortimer loves to watch birds for hours, he looks so silly with his gigantic pair of binoculars. After he had seen enough birds we walked on. I was getting a bit hungry so Mortimer suggested to look for some grass. The grass on the hills seemed to be perfect, all green and juicy. Mortimer wasn't sure about this. It was like he could smell something was wrong. He didn't wanted to go up the hills but i told him to stop being such a nag, so up the hills we went.

If i could turn back time i wish i had listened to Mortimer. Suddenly a group of humans were standing infront of us. I was so scared and looked at Morty. The expression on his face told me something bad was going to happen. With fear in my voice i asked: "Morty, what's wrong?". I had seen humans before but these species didn't look like they were very friendly. Morty answered: "They are Canadians dear". Oh my god, no...Canadian humans. "corrupt Canadian mountie humans", Morty added. We were on a Caribbean island, how was this possible???

One of the reasons Mortimer had moved to Holland was because of the new Canadian law against interracial marriages between Canadian mooses and a Dutch cows.

It was Mortimers sexy mountie suit that had betrayed him. Within seconds the Canadians took Mortimer away from me. I felt so helpless, what could i do. I heard Mortimer scream... "SETI !!!!!!" but I didn't had a clue what he was talking about. I didn't knew what to do. I just wanted my Morty!

me catching a moose, i love them

There i was, alone and without a trace of my sweet husband. Can you imagine the horror i had gone through? I went to the police but the only thing they did was laugh at me when i told them my story. There was nothing left for me to do than to go back to Holland and ask my friends to help me get Morty back.

Back in Holland i told the whole story to my dear friend and boss, Red Moose. Although you would think he's Canadian or Swedish, he actually is Dutch. As I came to the part in where Morty screamed "SETI", he jumped off his chair and headed to the computer. I asked wassup Red? He told me he heared about a project called seti@home. It's some project that humans use to search for extraterrestrial intelligence, whatever that may be.

Red told me that he thinks Mortimer will probably try to send some signal into space. This signal will be detected by the seti@home project so we can locate the exact position of where Mortimer is being held. Oh my gosh....My Morty, he's so smart.

A few days ago, Red came up with some really great news. "I found Mortimer !!!!!" he shouted. I was so exited. Red showed me how he found Mortimer using SETI and the internet. There he was, my love, my Morty. He's still alive. All i could do was cry...


oh my dear, Morty is on TV

Then Red came with the bad news.... "we can get him back Dutchie, but we need help. They want to trade Mortimer for all our seti@home results". "So, what are you waiting for Red, give them all, i don't care". "It's not that easy Dutchie, they want all the Dutch seti@home results". That's when all my hope faded away. This is impossible. Or maybe not?

As a sweet little cow i ask everyone to help me get my Morty back to Holland. Anyone with a heart, please join the Betronic Design Team and give those bad Canadians and their Team New Kirk what they are demanding so i can finally be together again with my Morty.

And as if there isn't enough dishonesty, there is another b-side to all this. If we don't succeed in getting enough seti results on the 1st of March, Red has to sent me to the land of the Canadians. Imagine me between all those cow hating Canadians. I don't think i would survive a day. So please, please help me...

Dutchie...
