Get the Van Damme Americans mug.Someone who tries to be funny all the time. Also he'll try to fit in the group, wich he succeeds most of the time. A "Gijs van Iwaarden" is 9/10 times sarcastic, don't take him too serious. If you do, he will tell you otherwise.
Watch out if you see him outside in the dark though.

Get the Van Schwack Theory mug.When the explanation for why something is incorrect takes far longer to say then it does to say the incorrect thing. Like when someone like a guy named Van Schwack calls a false equivalency an apples to apples comparison and the explanation takes far longer than one sentence to explain a one sentence mistake.
Van Schwack,"that comparing apples to apples I don't see the false equivalency"
Intelligent people," oh boy that's going to take a while to explain. The Van Schwack Law told me this would happen. "
