I was thinking about the whole "freedom..." thing recently (no, I was not having paranoid thoughts in the shower like Stan), but I was thinking how silly the whole thing is. The American language (don't know about you Brits) is full of French words. Like: Home Depot Of course, my 13 year old son, who doesn't know French yet, pronounced it "deepot" (with a hard T at the end). Which is what got me thinking about the whole French/freedom thing. Of course, now someone is probably going to point out that the word Depot comes from Swahili or something. :-D Oh and--they were interviewing some fellow on NPR's Science Friday last Friday, and he said that all the countries where hurricanes occur get to pick a name for the list each year.

:laugh: - :rolleyes: I was afraid for 1 second, with Chirac, everything is possible :doh:
Собой остаться дольше...
Heh, Chirac doesn't strike me as someone who would just invade. He may have bombed the crap out of small atolls in the Pacific, but at least he had the atolls evacuated first. :-D -- ...Coca Cola, sometimes war...

I have a former colleague who boycotted everything made in France during that "crisis". Unfortunately he was a prejudist which couldn't differentiate between France's government and the people of France. :sigh: -- ...Coca Cola, sometimes war...

And he has not even the excuse to be American I suppose...:rolleyes: yep, this one was easy, but I try to never miss a tackle when possible. I should perhaps add some kind of indication I'm joking? Nah, too lazy...

He's also at least 75% prejudist. :) KaЯl wrote: yep, this one was easy, but I try to never miss a tackle when possible. I should perhaps add some kind of indication I'm joking? Nah, too lazy... If someone has a problem with your joke, at least they have the option to respond [i.e. flame]. :-D -- ...Coca Cola, sometimes war...
