Who gets to make up the next excuse for France?

Okay, I know I called for a re-rail, but BunnyTravolta's post calls for an immediate and appropriate response:



"Ah'm French! Why do you think I have this out-rrrageous
accent, you silly king?!"

[Prudence]

Somehow, I knew that was coming...

[BunnyTravolta]

Don't. Get. Me. Started.
wendybeth, you are my new best friend, 'cause you are a believer in the Power of Python.
Ok, I have to......."Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!!!! Now, go away or I shall taunt you a second time!!"
Fear the French Taunting!!!!!

[wendybeth]

"Go away, or I shall taunt you a second time!"


(Maybe we should start a Python alliance....)

[BunnyTravolta]

"Pythonic Loungers" ..."Monty Pythons' Lounging Swankers"...

We'd need red velvet smoking jackets, gaiters and a silly walk. And a incredibly difficult secret handshake.

God, it is just so sad, the amount of M.P. that I have memorized. And yet, I still laugh at the jokes!

We almost got kicked out of Farrugut State Park during a late night drunken round of "Let's see who can quote MP the best"- we had about 12 participants and a sympathetic Park Ranger who even joined in for a few minutes.

Our neighbors were a bit pissed at us.

And I am your WORST EMENY!

Plus, I love the FRENCH and their fabulous country and culture.

And, I give sexual favors to the guy who owns this board.

Actually I have no personal problem with France- and I am planning a trip there when Rose gets a bit older and can appreciate the trip. It's on the to-do list to visit all the Disney parks with my daughter.

I did not post this to bash France- but the title sure got people's attention- maybe someone needs to go back and reread the thread about the people who left Gitmo, returned to France- and vanished- and the excuses that followed that because it was France- it was cool anyway.

As for answering Alex's post- I do have other things to do in my life- I said I would read the links and I will- beyond that I am not on a time schedule that suits anyone but me- thanks very much.

And yes O-nut- you came over here and said very specifically that "she (meaning me) is even making the land of swank a bitter place to visit"- if that was not pointed, feel free to retract and apologize. (thank you SJ- for pointing out the obvious)

Though considering France was getting money off the Oil for Food program I somehow doubt their intentions on Iraq......

But people can unknot their panties about it- my son is taking French, so did I...I have every intention of visiting there- and like I said, I have no issue with France- just some of their politics.

Some of my best acquaintances are of French descent.


(Hey, wait a minute- so am I!)

The French are human, like the rest of us, despite rumors to the contrary. Of course they are going to have individuals and groups of people that commit crimes, behave in a less than ethical manner, and just generally piss us off. We do the same to them. We meddle in foreign affairs all the time, so why should we be that upset or surprised when they do? When it serves our purposes they are considered allies, and when it doesn't, then they are the enemy. Say what you want about them, there is no disputing this truth: They are fabulous cooks.

And honestly, it's clear that in this thread you're more interested in trading barbs and snarky comments (as am I) than in actual discussion.

Like I said before we're both here for a reason, but it's obvious intelligent discussion isn't one of them.
