Would you like some freedom fries with that?

Nope. Fries are awful no matter what they're called. If you're ever in the UK any chippie could beat them hands down. ;) Anna :rose: www.annasplace.me.uk

LOL!!! Thanks for reminding me of my stop at the store on the way home today. I left work early(I have already logged 25hrs this week) and decided to pick up some wine to have a relaxing night with my wife. But, the clerk hassled me because, I was buying a French Merlot. Damn hilarious! I actually had him call his manager over and ended up getting the wine comped ($30) as well as some discount coupons. I laughed almost all the way home.

Ugh! X| What a retarded bunch of crap. It's sad to see the world's leaders resort to childish name-calling like a bunch of damn 9 year old kids. What's next? Croissants are now Freedom Biscuits? Perrier is now Justice Water? au Juis sauce is now Liberty Sandwich Dip? Hey baby, wanna Independence kiss? I wonder which side of the lunchroom the cool senators sit on? -- Russell Morris "Have you gone mad Frink? Put down that science pole!"

Last friday night, after a bottle of Freedom Wine, my wife and I were Freedom Kissing on the couch, watching the Freedom Connection (1971, with Gene Hackman) on TNT. She had just put on her Freedom Maid uniform and I was anticipating a little fun. I took off my shirt, because I didn't want to get my Freedom Cuffs all wrinkled. Then, completely breaking the mood, I paused and wondered aloud: "how many of the words in the English language have French origins?" After a little googling, i found an answer: 40%. My wife left the room. -c

Some interesting history. First, it's important not to confuse French fry with French fly, better known as Spanish fly (cantharides). [^] ""

French wines aren't too bad, but I am developing quite a liking to Australian wine. I really enjoy a good Shiraz once in a while. Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

Not that it isn't quite good, I just like to try new things. Now Offtopic. BTW, how is the work on the AAL going? I read a couple of your articles last week and have been thinking a lot along the lines of an extensible framework. Also, have you looked into what the guys who developed [SharpDevelop](http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/SharpDevelop did) did? On a quick glance it looks like they treat everything as service and load it as needed. The word abbreviation is awfully long for what it means.

I've had to work a bit lately (hahaha) and I wrote a short article on iButton technology, and I'm almost ready for the third AAL installment. I'm going through and putting in comments right now and finishing touches. The article and all the diagrams are 90% done too, so it's definitely in the final touches stage. It'll be my 25th article (platinum, here I come!!!). :-D It looks like the SharpDevelop stuff is quite professional. I haven't actually looked at it yet, but I'd like to see if their IDE is a faster than MS's. I can't stand all that dependency checking that goes on. I know what assemblies need to be recompiled. I don't need the IDE to check every damn one of them! (There's probably an option buried somewhere to turn the dependency checking off, but I haven't come across it!) Are you using the SharpDevelop IDE or their CVS for NET tool? I downloaded the WinCVS tool the SourceForge site that I set up for AAL (which is another thing I need to pay attention to soon) and I was not impressed. I'll have to check it out. It might make for a good product review article on CP, if it hasn't been done already. Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

The French Embassy in Washington had no immediate comment, except to say that french fries actually come from Belgium.
