Just as you are about to blow a load, in any sort of sexual situation (even masturbation for those true pioneers who are constantly on the cutting edge of the sexual revolution) you begin to shout, "Here comes the Flying Dutchman!" This should confuse your sexual partner (or whoever is in hearing range) completely, sometimes causing interesting side effects.
Named for the legendary ghost-ship, a Flying Dutchman is a freeloader that manages to become effectively immortal, without paying for the resources that it uses to survive. A Flying Dutchman may move from host to host, never quite using enough resources to be killed; it may spawn a copy of itself on another host just before it is terminated, ensuring an unending gene-line.
The Flying Dutchman is a high-performance class of racing dinghy. It has a round-bilged hull, a hiking strap for the skipper, and a trapeze for the crew. It can fly a mainsail, a roller furling 150% genoa, and can launch and retrieve a spinnaker from a port in the foredeck, at the bow.
Flying Dutchman (or "Vliegende Hollander" in Dutch) is a combination of a Water coaster and a dark ride in amusement park Efteling in the Netherlands. It was designed by Karel Willemen and should have gone operational on April 16 2006, exactly 328 years after the dissappearance of the legendary Dutch merchant The Flying Dutchman. Due to construction problems the opening has been postponed to April 1, 2007.
