Dora looking like Hanners?

But they screwed up the awakening of her memories this time, and so wound up having to foist that ridiculous space-station story on her—Hanner's 'mom' (actually her high priestess) is behind all this—until she's subjected to enough stress to awaken the Mother Goddess within. So in the QC universe, they are, all of them, Hannelore's descendants. Naturally a vague resemblance crops up from time to time.
The Dutch're ok. It's the wretches from Belgium you have to watch out for. Dig this: *whispers* they put mayonnaise on their 'french' fries.
Anybody that does that, you just know they'll do freakin' anything.
Even name their country after a pan-galactic swear word.

Yeah, but the Belgics brew good beer, so I've forgiven them. And my wife has issued a general amnesty on the basis of Godiva chocolates.

French Fries? Those are honest-to-goodness chips we're discussing (and those there 'chips' are 'crisps' - do try to get it right).

I thought that was a Canadian thing.
Oh, right. "Weird Americans"

I am getting it right. Chips are what you use for counters in Vegas and other dens of iniquity. For all other uses, it needs a modifier (computer chip, microchip, buffalo chip). The correct name for what some folks call "crisps" is "'tater chips." The fried potato pieces are called french fries because we had to blame someone: why not France?

You just need to come over to the UK and learn about the real thing.
