Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 09-03-2005 08:02 PM                        Rated G from Dave Huskinson: Lance Armstrong's record setting seventh Tour de France victory, along with his entire Tour de France legacy, may be tarnished by what could turn out to be one of the greatest sports scandals of all time. Armstrong is being quizzed by French police after three banned substances were found in his South France hotel room while on vacation after winning the 2005 Tour de France. The three substances found were toothpaste, deodorant, and soap which have been banned by French authorities for over 75 years. Armstrong's girlfriend and American rocker Sheryl Crow is quoted as saying "We use them every day in America, so we naturally thought they'd be OK throughout France."  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 09-07-2005 09:27 AM                        Rated PG REASONS FOR BEING FRENCH * When speaking fast you can make yourself sound gay. * Experience the joy of winning the world cup for the first time. * You get to eat insect food like snails and frog's legs. * If there's a war you can surrender really early. * You don't have to read the subtitles on those late night films on TV. * You can test your own nuclear weapons in other people's countries. * You can be ugly and still become a famous film star. * Allow Germans to march up and down your most famous street humiliating your sense of national pride. * You don't have to bother with toilets, just shit in the street. * People think you're a great lover even when you're not.  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 09-07-2005 09:29 AM                        Rated G AP and UPI reported that the French Government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "run" to "hide."

"What is that?" asked the child pointing to the penis. "Nothing, nothing at all, Cherie," replied the mother. "I want one," said the child. The mother tried to focus her daughter's attention on a more suitable subject, but the little girl persisted. "I want one just like that," she kept repeating.

A man goes to the Le Cinq in Paris with his girlfriend and orders the 1968 Mouton Rothschild. The waiter returns with a decanter full of wine, pours a small amount in the glass for tasting. The customer picks up the glass, smells the wine, and puts it down on the table with a thud. "This is not the 1968 Mouton." The waiter assures him it is, and soon there is another twenty people surrounding the table including the chef and the manager of the hotel trying to convince the man that the wine is the 1968 Mouton. Finally someone asks him how he knows, it is not the 1968 Mouton. "My name is Phillipe de Rothschild, and I made the wine." Finally the original waiter steps forward and admits that he poured the Clerc-Milon 1968. "I could not bear to part with our last bottle of 1968 Mouton. Sir, you even own Clerc-Milon, it is in the same village as Mouton, you pick the grapes at the same time, the same cepage, you crush in the same way, you put them into similar barrels. You bottle at the same time, you even use eggs from the same chickens to fine them. The wines are the same, except for a small matter of geographic location." Rothschild beckons the waiter forward, and whispers to him, "When you return home tonight, ask your girlfriend to remove her underwear. Put one finger in one opening, another in the other, and smell the difference that a small matter of geographic location will give."  |  IP: Logged Gilles Elbhar Film Handler Posts: 21 From: pavillons sous bois / France Registered: Mar 2006 posted 12-05-2006 08:52 AM                        Well, You forget to say in 1789 french government give money to help USA to be free... You forget to say, in 2002, that french government reduce job time and the salary of people. (My salary was 12000FF and 10 years after become 9500FF.) Then profetional evoultion was stoped. The french government impose many taxe to people. So many people go on strike. With social help some people have better situation than french citizen. Jacques Chirac is a old man, and will be replaced in a couple of month. Paris is a hard city for many people. French people are like many other natural people. they use american food and movie. You are welcome to check by yourself what France is. After that, you can speak from what you know, with realism. Thanks. Gilles (French projectionit)  |  IP: Logged
