“Can a city be one’s hero?. . .”

Tres bon. Cela est la grande idee!

Je conviens. Est-ce que aimant les Français me fait un traître?

Non. C’est bien.

Mais non, cher TriBriGuy, bien au contraire … !

I guess that’s what I get for studying French at a small, public military college in South Carolina. . .eh Francois? Guess I better brush up with a hot French Expat before going over there. . .

So why did you leave?

Citadel?

You guessed it. Though not as part of the Corps of Cadets, but as an active duty Marine.

Great town. Nice winters. I lived in Mt. Pleasant for two years. (I was CPD).

I meant to ask, why did you leave France?

They should ban the french Tanks! They only have 4 gears . Three in reverse and one forward in case the enemy sneaks up from behind.

Now I don’t care what anyone says That’s Funny ; )

Sorry Tibbs, truth be known, I’m a closet hippie tree-hugger. . .this makes my day. I am one day closer to ridding the land of these bloated beasts of metal, plastic and rubber. So the Parisians are taking the lead in this battle. . .

Now I get it. I was wondering why I liked you. I love the Aussies.

"guys your french is,…well, it sucks :slight_smile: "

I know, I know. Took French in high school and one year in university. If you don’t use it you lose it.

Last time in Montreal I tried to impress our group in a restaurant by ordering for everyone in French. The waitress just chuckled and replied in English!

Easy now Tibbsy. . .I’m keep my Greenpeace banner rolled up and below the military crest until I retire. . .

Besides. . .there is some argument in support of tanks cleaning up more “environment” than they destroy. . . ;-> Look what they did to Saddam’s cesspool. Now if we’d just let the Sierra Club and Greenpeace take over the CPA. . .problems would go away. . .

Je suis d’accord! Mais au moins ils essaient et se debrouillent pas si mal… Tu es chanceux d’etre en France, profites en, la culture est tellement differente… Bonnes Vacances!

I love French Fries and French Toast!

Well, the article makes perfect sense too me.

Only wish that more North American’s would get the point.

What about French Onion Dip, because I love that too!
