Of course, you hate them...

Not only are they French...they are commies.

Vive la France!

Sometimes, I wonder if people in the US don't feel the wrong side won the war.

I'm realising I've spent way too much time in Pays Francophone

Since I can catch that this is (a very good) parody of Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin (amongst other French cultural references lately). And, this seems appropriate given that 'Allo 'Allo was a soft porn parody of Secret Army (I'll confess that I watched episodes of 'Allo Allo after watching Secret Army since SA is pretty heavy stuff).



Anyway, here is the original, which sounds like the soundtrack to a porn film (and if you are at all familiar with Serge Gainsbourg, you know he did some seriously weird shit).



With that, I'll leave you to enjoy steak frites and a glass of vin rouge.

A little gun porn for you

Of course, since it's "cheese eater" stuff, it might cause some cognitive dissonance

I bet when you realise they're nearly on your doorstep you might really freak. France never was totally tossed out of North America . It's still there and I don't mean Quebec, or the rest of Francophone Canada.

Not so much gun porn as trying to do your heads since there also was a gun store next door to the presidential palace when I was in Paris.  I can't imagine that in the US (i.e., next door to the White House).

And they sold switchblades.  When I lived in Europe [1], switchblades were sold all over the place.

"Aux armes citroyens!"

[1] while part of the European Union, the UK isn't really "Europe".

A republic, not a democracy

And it's the Fifth Republic (Cinquième République which would be the Fünfte Reich auf Deutsch!).  It has been the Fifth Republic since the 4th of October 1958!



Vive la France!
Vive la Cinquième République!
