when I send an email I like to receive at least an acknowledgement that they have read it or I stop sending and visiting them in return.

Well of course they read it. At least out of curiosity, if not for another reason :P

Which reminds me: I am behind with my e-mails, I should start replying "blushing"

and alas, none of those email have ever been to me Gort :( What is the world coming too ...

Received more than I have sent but most of those were from hosts saying things like "Fuck off and stop annoying me or I will report you to cc and then cut your balls off and stuff them down your throat".

The rest I sent to myself using another name so I'm not sure if they count or not. Surprisingly they were also the rudest ones I received.

Iwould love to slip something in your box

i send more than i receive.i never receive any at all.my box is forever empty.

but see HINT

some think its smart they get more than they send ....????


obviously not so smart ....

who is the customer here ?

who is trying to make the $$

the penny has just not dropped for so many here...

The smart few ,,

they realised this way back .....

I still see many asking why its so quiete ...

and i still see empty rooms...

yet still many of these same people ..


dont make any effort to be polite , or make friends, or even say Hi,,,

smart ?

i think not..

paco...yeah right =))

Sounds right miss Gorty ..

Sounds like you are a smart lady .. respect to u.


what sales organisation/ person would u ever expect to get more replies/ interest / orders / sales /

than they send out ....

NON... returns on any sales are usualy 30% at best..

mailshots can be 2-4 % and still be succesful..

any girl here sitting on her hands,, and not making contacts is wasting her time..

if u dont sow ..........you dont reap..

It's amazing what some hosts can get in their box. I remember this one host....

I remeber this one host, I dared her to do a double penetration with 2 base ball bats, Bought 2 hours of video that day...
She did it !!!
Never saw her again, on either site she worked on...
Gosh I missss her :((

Yep many - if we moved to any city in the world we would still find someone..
But of course if u never get out you will never meet anyone..

Traveling and being open to say hello ,, is the first step
by travel i mean .open the front door..step outside... hehehe.

and when you meet someone .. say Hi..

and for everyone there are many partners...
and we all need different partners at different times in our lives..

so smile .. be happy and look out ..

remember .. girls are looking just as much as the guys are ..
just more usual we guys have to say hi first ..
.

yep...even for u....do i sound convincing??

oh yeah,real convincing.........(rolls eyes at shy)

Yes...everyone except you. Sorry.

yes i believe there is someone for everyone. i think there are 2 types of people in our lives...

one that is just passing through... whether they are friends or lovers or whatever, our relationships with them teach us lessons we need to learn, help us learn about others and ourselves and to grow alot in a short period of time. these type of people usually have something in common with something we are dealing with in our lives at that particular period of our lives.

the second type stays a lifetime, not only helping us to grow but also lifting us up when we stumble. they share in all our joys and sorrows and know us almost as well as we know ourselves.

i believe every person enters our life for a reason, even if we do not yet understand the reason why...the tricky part is being able to tell who is meant to stay in our life and who is just passing through. i think our greatest pains in life come from trying to keep someone in our life that was only meant to pass through.

well at first I thought so, but now Im beginning to wonder, just turn another year older and it seems time is passing by quick

n/a

There is no one more anal that you paco. Sorry to say dude, but your gonna be alone.

excuse me?? what the hell was that all about?

I'll tell you what paco why don't you and I give it another 2 years. If we both haven't met anyone special by then we'll hook up together. What do you say ?

sounds good to me.when do we start counting the days?now?yesterday?just let me know when the time is up. LOL

yes I believe...but this someone sometimes can`t be with U...that`s the sad part but dreams are nice.....(" fullfilled dreams/wishes make U older" so U choose stay young or get old)

i can't be with you kate? damn,now i'm really sad.oh well.that's my life. LOL

n/a

yes I've married 3 of them so far

There's got to be lots of potential partners out there for any person. For some there's more than others. The whole "there's one special person out there" is romanticisied hollywood bullshit imho

Ted, You're not saying that Hollywood is involved in the production, manufacture and distribution of bullshit are you?!!! Do the authorities know about this?!! What? The authorities are in bed with them?!! There's payola...uh uh...I mean campaign contributions?!!

You mean guys don't really save prostitutes the way it happened in "Pretty Woman?" You mean we aren't likely to find people's travails so easily redeemed in reality? Ted, Ted, Say it isn't so dude.

Just got it. Sending reply now (21:23 GMT)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_noir ...This is a particularly informative article on the subject

Thanks

Thanks Barry, I'll look up the Wikipedia artical. Reviewed any good flicks lately ??

Cheers.... Alan

Hi again...Re the movies you mentioned in a previous post. All great examples of Film Noir, and yes, i've seen them all.

"The Postman Always Rings Twice". John Garfield was one of my great favourites and was incapable of giving a poor performance. As for Lana Turner, not a great actress, but with that face and body who cares ?!!
"Touch of Evil". Another Wells masterpiece. Full of atmosphere and tension. I believe the opening camera shot was, at that time, the longest single take ever made.
"The Third Man". That guy Wells again !! What is there left to say, apart from a fine performance by Joseph Cotton and perfect direction by Carol Reed.
Detour". It's many years now since I saw it and at the time I was not too impressed. But I think I should see it again. Many times I've changed my opinion of a film after a second viewing.
"The Night of the Hunter". Another great Mitchum performance and a complete change of character for him. Mitchum is one of my all time favourites. Never gives a bad perfromance. A real pro.

Tarantino ? Not a great favourite of mine, although I thought that "Pulp Fiction" was excellent. Also liked "Jackie Brown". Hated the vampire things !!!

Noir directors. One of the best, if not the best, was Robert Soidmak.

Two more recommendations..."Phantom Lady" (vintage noir) and "The Usual Suspects" (modern noir)

That's all for now....Cheers.... Alan

Alan, I'm not surprised you've seen these films. Re: "Detour," it is not an especially good movie from the point of view of craft, but I understand why it has a cult following.

I'm with you on Tarantino and even Pulp Fiction was a bit too self-consciously "hipper-than-thou." At the time of Pulp Fiction's release, it seemed that every film critic declared him a wunderkind, a young genius whose artistic vision would change the history of film. And, of course, he did not disagree with their assessment.

What do you think of Jim Jarmusch?

In Mystery Train, when Screamin' Jay wolfed down that plum - Man, I'm not even sure really why, but that scene just made me laugh and laugh.
And there was a moment like that in Night On Earth too if I remember right. When Helmut in New York put on a red clown nose, then pulled out a slide whistle and played a little tune - it was his fare's reaction that was the funny part, I think.
Oh yeah, and Roberto Begnini - from begining to end, his entire part in Night On Earth is hilarious - almost too damn funny.

Wow, it's been forever since I saw either of those movies. Think I'll make a run to Blockbusters and pick them up.
Thanks for bringing them back to mind, man.

I must catch up on Jarmusch's later films. I just know 3: the first two, Stranger Than Paradise and Down By Law, and the one---title escapes me---about the Japensese couple who come to the US for a pilgramage to Elvis' Graceland.

I think the music by composer/actor John Lurie is first rate. (In fact the Chronos String Quartet recorded a piece of Lurie's called, "Bela by Barlight."---a play on the jazz standard "Stella by Starlight" with a nod to Hungarian composer, Bela Bartok.)

My favorite scene in Down By Law was a lingering frame of Waits sitting on a milk crate, smoking a cigarette in front of the gas station where he is an attendant. Begninni appears, back turned, in the forground, nervously flipping through an English phrase book. He says, "Es cuzza me. It is a sad but berautiful day." Waits looks up but doesn't anwer. Again B. tries: "Es-cussa me. It is a sad but beautiful day.", to which Waits responds, "Buzz off!!" B. then frantically looks in his phrase book mumbling " Buzza off....buzza off...." That cracked me up!!!

Hey Mel, looks like we're getting people interested !!!

Cheers.

Alan, At least one. lol!

Yeah. but ones better than none !! We just gotta keep trying . Have faith kiddo. lol

Cheers.

Of course we both know there are many forums where one could discuss film with other film buffs, but we perhaps entertain the idea that a lovely bare-breasted siren---who also knows film---might combine carnal and intellectual stimulation. Perhaps CC would entertain a new category: Girls Alone: Sinners & Cinephiles

Hey, what a great idea. Why didn't I think of that..Duh !!!!! Perhaps we should copyright it before submitting it to cc !!! Get yourself the right host (any suggestions very welcome) and it would be just like sex used to be in the back row of the stalls.
Ah !!! Memories. Mmmmm lol !!!!

Cheers Alan

...or in "Drive-In" theatres. Alan, I take it you are from the UK? My bet was that you guys didn't have Drive-In Theatres. There are, I imagine, a handful left, but they are for the most part a thing of the past here; very big though in the 50's and 60's. Those who went on dates, often didn't see much of the film. The film was just a pretext for "getting down" and steaming up the windows! lol!

Xmas?

n/a

But no specials between Easter and Christmas?!! Wow, that's a long time to wait. You sure drive a hard bargain Charlotte! lol! Will you be pursuing business studies at universtiy? Perhaps you could do as the woman did, that comic Rodney Dangerfield joked about. He said this woman studied business and psychology. For $100, she'd blow your mind. lol!

Might I suggest you offer specials on May Day, the Romanian holidays Ziua Copilului (June 1) and Ziua Imnului National (July 29), anniversaries of significant dates in military history (with lower prices as commemoration of the war dead) such as Hiroshima (Aug 6), the German Invasion of Poland (Sept). And for good measure, you might want to throw in the Summer Solstice and the Autumnal Equinox. That way we'd have something nearly every month. What do you think dear? :))

n/a

n/a

To be honest I don't remember about that national anthem day either :D But I thought is just me with my lost memory :D

Angel, You mean Wikipedia mislead me?!! I'm shocked! lol! Perhaps it's one of those innocuous holidays like "Flag Day" in the US. I know it exists, but I couldn't tell you the date if you offered me a million dollars! (Although, if you did offer, I'd sneak off to Wikipedia to find out! lol!)

Charlotte I'm still holding out till you play cards again :D

n/a

Charlotte, $0.59? Now that’s a bon marché. Merci! I’ll be sure to stop by. :)

* N.B. Melomane does not presently own not has he ever owned shares in "Charlotte4U Enterprises Ltd." lol! (Pssst, Charlotte, I need the payment in cash, ok?)

n/a

Lol! I like the way it sounds too! Before long, you could start a line of sexy undergarments that would be every bit as sexy as Victoria Secret, but at more affordable prices. Then your own line of perfume. What shall we call it? How about..hmmm.."Fleur de Charlotte." ? Or perhaps something a little more provocative like, "Torride" or "Ardente."

If you go with the latter two, you'll have to have one of those fancy Madison Avenue fashion photographers do a (B & W) photo session of a woman, perhaps in a sauna, with a shot from torso up, holding a towel in front of her shimmering naked body, just barely covering her breasts, with her other hand reaching below the photo's lower boarder, but in an unmistakably suggestive position. Her head should be tilted back slightly, eyes closed, with a look of near ecstasy on her face. That will be the magazine version, to appear in magazines like the NY Times Sunday magazine, Cosmo (American & European editions.) The TV version will follow suit: a b & w still, the only addition being a voice-over by a man with a French accent, who, in a hushed baritone voice will say, "Torride. [or Ardente]....pour les femmes"

n/a

Charlotte, I know you've got to dominate and I defer to you a lot bb. Didn't I let you get on top again last night?!! Forward and Reverse Cowgirl?!! But you've got to trust me on certain things as regards marketing. I live only about 3-4 hours from the epicenter (NY) of advertising bullshit. There is no bullshit machine as powerful as Madison Avenue. You could combine the skills of Gobels and the Ministries of Propaganda of every totalitarian State and they could not hold a candle to Madison Avenue. Why do you think that in the US, beginning with the Reagan Administration, the White House began employing the skills of these upscale hucksters?

While I disagree with your idea about "Firey" as a name, I think your idea of modeling for your own product is brilliant! As regards the name, we are essentially thinking in the same vein. Both "Torride" and "Ardente" imply firey, hot, burning, impassioned. And the words have this advantage: Both words are cognates in English, so people will recognize them. We use the words "torrid" and "ardent." But unlike firey---which sounds too pedestrian and more like a name for a barbecue sauce---"Torride" & "Ardente" have the allure of French sophistication and unbridled passion. Firey, on the other hand, is ordinary and cannot banish from the mind the possibility that a Puritan might be lurking in the background with a hose to extinguish the passions.

May I be the photographer, may I, may I? :D

n/a

You mean you are going to ignore the wisdom of Madison Avenue?!!! Anathema!! Lol!

I hardly know some places in France, exotic, hard to find.. south wasn't that exotic, but we could go in the West Indies, that's exotic allright! And I think you'd look great on the white sand.. or under the green water hehe

Ohh Psy.... "drooling" I love both sand and water! You are a sweetheart (K)

Psy, Why don't you stop by my office tomorrow afternoon. I'd love to see your work, so bring your portfolio. I would be in favor of doing as much in-house production as possible and I think it it would be an excellent move to have a photographer (not to mention psychologist) in residence.

Charlotte will have the final word about any hire, but my opinion will count a great deal and I'm sure she will see the wisdom of combining her business skills and your skills as a psychologist. Together they will create a revolution in the fashion world and give a whole new meaning to "mind blowing" experience.

Should I bring as well the nudes? well, they're autoportraits, but still..
:D

It would be a pleasure to work with both of you.. problem is tomorrow I'm starting work (for real) not as a psychologist, not yet.. so I'll sort of be absent...

Darn!

Good luck with your job :)

And I won't mind an e-mail of yours :) ;-)

Psy, Come whenever you can my dear. Hey, can I join you and Charlotte in the West Indies? How about Martinique? Ca me plairait :) Je t'embrasse: muahhhh!

Martinique, you say? My fave :D Salines it's the best, though crowded.. but the north is even better hehe

It has been many years since I was last there....I remember taking a "taxi collectif" (6-7 people stuffed into a Renault station wagon lol!) from the airport to....the city center (Fort de France, n'est pas?). and I remember reading Aime Caesar's "Le Retour a Mon Payee Natale." He was (still is?) the mayor of Fort de France?...Governor of the island? Can't recall.

I'm told the island has changed a great deal since I was there..(I bet before you were born!) Btw, Psy, what is your screen name?

I honestly don't know much, hear about Aimée, but I don't know if he's still alive.. been last in there two years ago, and loved it.. and yes, the main city is Fort de France, but the airport is at Lamentin, near by..

Not a host anymore ;) just hanging around, giving ramblers reasons to ramble :P

well worth the few pennies.She even laughs at your jokes
I do not own any shares either but if ever she becomes a limited company put me down for some preferentials
i cant wait for the dividend pay out i will take extra shares please
oh she is looking for a man to work under her
anyone want that position, i said i have to be chairman so i get on top

Of course we anticipate the company going public one day James, but if you're interested, here's an opportunity to get in on the "ground floor" as the business cliche goes. We are looking for venture capitalists and any investment the original investors make, will be issued preferred shares in proportion to their original investment and the current total capitalization figure, with an option to by shares at a discount to current value.

Charlotte makes it clear she is dominant and she always likes to be on top. But if I understand you correctly, you are asking who would like to be on the bottom...and you, as chairman, want to be on top? James, don't tell me you are suggesting a....D---uh---uh---P?!!! We must consult Charlotte about this of course, but I think we'd all agree, as a way of sealing the deal it would create a special "bond"---more memorable than a handshake! :) But before the three of us meet to discuss this, it occurs to me that we need to fill one more hole...uh...uh...I mean position to meet incorporporation requirements. As founder, Charlotte must fill three holes...[damn! I can't explain all these Freudain slips!]... I mean positions to meet legal requirements. Perhaps she has a candidate she would like to fill that hole----ahhhhhhh ..position. Charlotte?

n/a

I can see you like my idea and you've already taken the ball and begun to run with it. Good. I will assume the position of Creative Director--Senior Vice President for Marketing & Media Relations.

During the hiring process, I would appreciate it if you would interview some worthy young female candidates---sexy and smart of course. I will need a good assistant. :)

n/a

I know a blonde, smart, sexy girl :D never met her in person, but maybe this summer..
But I'm sure of what I said hehe

Hehe, great! Maybe we convince her to come to the photo shooting or to work in the big company we'll start soon :D

(I love ciggs breaks on a busy busy day :D)

how about side by side...

hehe, as you would say ;-)

Tried that too... Didn't work... The guy always wanted to be the boss, no matter how many guys I tried :D And since is my life at stake I decided to take care of it the way I want it...
So no, side by side is not an option for now... Maybe later, when I'll find someone smart enough to know to appreciate the side by side thing....

Aren't gifts supposed to be free?

n/a

Over here that's "don't look a gift horse in the mouth". Seems to be the same sayings all over the world...

n/a

Personally, if someone gave me a horse I wouldn't bother looking it in the mouth, I'd just say "where the hell am I supposed to keep this"? :)

Charlotte, I can tell you reward those who are loyal, and punish those who can't get with your program--i.e.those who have the temerity to not recognize you are boss! But these guys intrigue you most, because they challenge you! Touche!

ummmm..... and this prevents envy because? everyone can read the Viewers' Forum.

Perhaps I misunderstood that Forum. I thought, just as the Chathost Forum is for Chathosts only, I thought Viewers Forum was for Viewers (i.e. paying guests) only---as opposed to the General Forum for both guests and hosts. Not true?

Melomane, guests and anyone can view the Viewer only forum, they just cannot post there.

Unfortunately not true Melomane.

Only members can post on it but everyone can read it.

Host do read the viewer forum, and make posts here regarding what they read there. Pretty stupid to start this thread dude, you will not prevent anything.

Bebe, Did it on an assumption that I see I should not have made. Well, no harm. I'm not maligning anyone, just didn't want to stir up envy among the ladies. Some---not all---can get very jealous if they are not the Queen bee. You know how viscious they can sometimes be towards one another! In fact, some hosts have even posted about this very subject. When two fight, it's like two cats in a bag.

I've quoted the famous American journalist, H. L. Mencken (who may have been a bigger curmudgeon than even our own CC Curmudgeon in Residence, "I'm Not Your Friend" lol!) , before, but it's worth repeating here. He defined a "misogynist" as, "a man who hates women as much as they hate each other." lol!

Yes.

sometimes we make the mistake of thinking we are actually here with them. then we make mistakes in translation or differences in culture or language. If you were in love with them you must believe that they love you as well, before commiting to them.Maybe you just pushed to hard,trust me its easy t do when you love one so much.
I am in love with a host and she is the most wonderful lady, but we still get it wrong now and again.
I just hope she keeps forgiving me.

It certainly hasn't made me less respectful. I never had any respect for anyone else here in the first place :P

INYF, Lol! If you ever decide to leave, I hope you will pass the torch to one worry of carrying on the necessary work of Curmudgeon in Residence. Perhaps you can sympathize with Groucho Marx's remark; "I'd never like to join a club that would have me as a member," huh? lol!

All fooling aside, we can indeed all respect each other, but not BECAUSE we are HERE! Rather, because we are human beings. And while being here might not be grounds for disrespecting others (and ourselves), at the same time I don't think anyone would find it a basis for admiring their virtue---members or hosts. It's not something we'd wear like a badge of honor or put on our resume. As the late Rodney Dangerfield quipped, "The kinda job I had, when I quit nobody knew!" lol!

"....to one worthy*...", not worry

Melomane that quote from Groucho Marx is one of my favourites. In fact on one occasion I pharaphrased it when making an excuse as to why I wasn't going to date a girl. I wouldn't go out with anyone that would have me as a bf.

The Marx Brothers were way ahead of their time.

In fact, I just recently read a remark Groucho made about a swim club that apparently had a "No Jews allowed" policy. He asked the man, "Since my daughter's only half Jewish, do you think she could go in the pool up to her waist?" lol!

Biker, A place like this may engender bad habits in some, but I would be careful not to use the universal "We," as in "WE treat the hosts like cattle." Perhaps you do, or some do, but we don't all do that. If you have behaved in this way, you chose to do so, but I can tell that you do not think such behavior right. In general, if one is respectful of others, they will respond in kind.

Judo is a martial art. However I thought that it was practised by two people one trying to throw the other to the ground. Perhaps there is also kicking moves and punching moves involved and the guy wants you to do this (Similar to karate moves).

Not sure what they were refering to. As far as I know Judo is a martial art form charecterized by using your opponants own weight and momentum against them to throw them.

marial arts kung fu--fighting

It is a contact sport similiar to Karate.

judo with mixed partners also called fuk-yu
same sex is gaykwando

GayKwando? Not my favorite sex, LOL!

Because it's you wearing it :P

I think part of it could be bacause the white coat symbolises someone who is "caring" and also because men would get turned on by a woman wearing a cardboard box.

Men like the thought of being dominated by the lady in white, then they want to take that power away and be the top man.

Doc, In what area of medicine do you specialize? In what country do you practice? I had always wondered how the daily routine of examining womens' genitals affects male gynecologists' experience of sex with their wives. I wonder if these men can actually engage in in cunnelingus without feeling they are doing just one more clinical exam. I also wonder, since more and more women are becoming physicians, what percentage of these women will elect to go into urology as a specialty. And I would have the analagous question for them: Can they give their husbands a bj w/o thinking it's just one more clinical look at a penis?

P.S. A physician friend of mine swears he went to medical school with a guy who went into urology. His name is Seymour Peters!!

n/a

I suppose I lot of women share your sentiments. Hey, that would certainly be way for a young gynecologist to build a practice fast, huh sweety? :))) The word would get around that Dr. Feelgood is very good indeed!

Just about to head off to work Charlotte but that wonderful image will carry me right through the day. I just hope it was a money spider as that might mean something significant :P

If it was a male spider trying to have his way with you, you could always do what female spiders do to the males after they mate: they eat them! And here he thought he might be spared by a female from the human species. Or maybe he had heard about that children's book, "Charlotte's Web," and thought he might find a place to crash for the night.

my ex females just ate my bank account :-(

Ooops, that is not nice...

Speaking of which... I have to pay the rent today, grrr :D

Hahahaaa, good one :)))

Glad I made your day INYF :P (K)

A doctor with the nickname poison?.....mmm this gives me an idea :D

i just like this parfume:)))))

OH MY GOSH, I figured it out, "Wud be" is really AsianDoll...Why mahal ....why? hehe :D

I hope not.
The drama of all the tweedles pissing themselves trying to shut him up is very entertaining.

No I will not stop posting these inane questions 'UrMommasSoFatShesGotPlanetsOrbitingHer'

Haha you're sweet!
I wouldn't have minded you to spoil the thread :)
Nope, don't have a spare room, unless if you want the kitchen ;)) imshy knows.. but I wouldn't risk your life..
And I have three beds, think it would be ok? :P

let him go in the kitchen...might do us all a favour :D

You're being mean :P He's been nice to me, no reason to send him there..

Packing my bags now Psy :)

Although if Imshy slept naked in the kitchen I'll pass on dinner :P

Nah, the only problem is you might have the neighbour fall anytime :)) some ceiling-missing-problem..

as for me, I would never say no to the neighbor dropping in ... no such thing as a bent banana when that ass comes around, let me tell you!

You'd like my neighbour :P well, the woman, the guy is nasty.

it's always sad to see nice women with nasty guys ... now you and I Psy, that would be a match I think, hot chick and a big banana :P

I like to bite bananas :P

I think I just came a little in my pants ...

I would never come to live in France full stop! Despite what I read or see.

You got la bonne idée. I never had much luck there! :-(

Why not?

So what's your body doing in Paris? lol!

resting, cursing the french :))

I meant the question for Bonaparte. Where are you in Paris, Psy? I lived in the rather staid 16th arr. But it was close to work. If location was not an issue, I would have lived on Place Medard (5th), right at the bottom of rue Moufftard.

I know it was for Bonaparte ;)

I'm in the 12th..close to Bois de Vincennes.. And I don't really know the other arr.. looking on the map, it kinda helps.. I'll be studying close to the 16th and the 5th hehe quite a nice place! Nice choice!

I lived near Television France , near the Pont du Garigliano. The area was not too stuffy---like the more Haut Bourgeouise section near Rue de Pompe.

I don't really know the 12th very well. I have a friend that lives in Montreuil. Apart from going there, I almost never took the 1 Line past Nation.

The 6th is very nice--especially around St. Sulpice---but I like the 5th a bit more, because it is more bohemian.

n/a

havent read it..does it have pics in it??? char pass it on when ur done with it..good girl :p

Bah, they didn't post my message and I don't even know why..
Anyway, the book is at least funny. No pics though :P

Ok, bah, I'll read it :))))

Cheers :D

:D hope you'll enjoy it

A title like hardly inspires confidence :). As to living in France, depends where I would be ... I'd prefer country to city but not a tiny village - too parochial

664, What's the significance of your moniker, "664?"

Been for some days in a tiny village, it feels great to see only pastures and not buildings.. But yeah, country is better, if you have a car.. it's not nice to depend on the trains..

As for the title, it's more amusing than anything else, the guy did manage to get himself in some trouble :))

Hmmm only if I I am sure of a return ticket ;) But on the subject of France cannot help but find this amusing and based in some form of truth.

A cursory review of French military history reveals the following:

1 - Gallic Wars - Lost. In a war whose ending foreshadows the next 2,000
years of French history, France is conquered by of all things, an Italian.
2 - Hundred Years War - Mostly lost. Saved at last by a female
schizophrenic who inadvertently creates The First Rule of French Warfare:
"French armies are victorious only when not led by a Frenchman."
3 - Italian Wars - Lost. France becomes the first and only country to ever
lose two wars when fighting Italians.
4 - Wars of Religion - France goes 0-5-4 against the Huguenots.
5 - Thirty Years War - France is technically not a participant but still
manages to be invaded. Claims a tie on the basis that eventually the other
participants started ignoring her.
6 - War of Devolution - Tied. Frenchmen take to wearing red flowerpots as
chapeaux.
7 - The Dutch War - Tied. Dutch farmers and tulip growers are tougher than
they look.
8 - War of the Augsburg League/King William's War/French and Indian War -
Lost. However, claimed as a tie. Three ties in a row induces deluded
Francophiles the world over to label the period as the height of French
military power.
9 - War of the Spanish Succession - Lost. The War also gave the French
their first taste of a Marlborough, which they have loved every since.
10 - American Revolution - In a move that will become quite familiar to
future Americans, France claims a win even though the English colonists saw
far more action. This is later known as "de Gaulle Syndrome", and leads to
the Second Rule of French Warfare: " France only wins when America does
most of the fighting."
11 - French Revolution - Won. Primarily due the fact that the opponent was
also French.
12 - The Napoleonic Wars - Lost. Temporary victories (remember the First
Rule!) due to leadership of a Corsican, who ended up being no match for the
Russian winter, Prussian grenadiers or a British footwear designer.
13 - The Franco-Prussian War - Lost. For the first, but certainly not the
last time, Germany plays the role of drunken frat boy to France 's ugly girl
home alone on a Saturday night.
14 - World War I - Invaded, humiliated and on the way to losing, France is
saved by the United States. Winds up a tie for Les Fran<E7>aise. Thousands of
French women find out what it is like to not only sleep with a winner, but
one who does not call her "Fraulein". Sadly, the American fascination with
personal hygiene (a fascination totally foreign to French women) incites
widespread use of condoms by American soldiers, thus precluding any
improvement in the French bloodline.
15 - World War II - A decisive defeat even by French standards. Hitler and
the German Youth spend Christmas time sleeping soundly through the winter,
and then arouse themselves to conquer France in six weeks. Hitler dances in
front of the Eiffel Tower, while the French command staff retreats to
Algeria to institute a crash language program to teach French privates how
to say, "I surrender" in German and French generals to say, "We surrender"
in German. Conquered French liberated by the United States and Britain just
as they finish learning the Horst Wessel Song and some small portion of the
German work ethic. De Gaulle of it all...
16 - First Vietnamese war (in Vietnamese circles, known as "the scrimmage",
or "the exhibition game" where the varsity squad is kept on the sideline to
see how the second string will play) - Lost. French soldiers, fresh off
their four year occupation by the Germans, catch a terminal case of Dien
Bien Flu.
17 - Algerian rebellion - Lost. First time an Arab army has beaten a
Western army since the Crusades, and produces the first rule of modern
Islamic warfare: "We can always beat the French." A nice phrase, but it
lacks something in originality, since it is also the first rule of warfare
for the Italians, Russians, Prussians, Germans, English, Dutch, Spanish,
Vietnamese, Native Americans and capitalists.
18 - War on Terrorism - Lost. Incensed at not being included in the
original "Axis of Evil," France refuses to participate. When it becomes
clear that this is a "no-kidding war," Jacques Chirac looks at his cards and
immediately surrenders to that old warhorse, Gerhard Schroeder. For good
measure, he also surrenders to five million illegal immigrants from Algeria.
The moral of the story is - give thanks to God on high that the French are
not helping us!

That's sort of mean :P Not like I care anyway, I can name bad things as I can name good ones about french..

next time you'll come here, I'll be the guide, but I have the feeling you'll be a guide for me sooner :P

Oh my, now that does sound interesting :) I shall keep that in mind over the next few years :)

It can hardly be denied that the French Army has never been known as a "fighting machine." I'm not very knowledgeable about the details of European History, but I think you are distorting things just a bit. At the very least, you are not hiding your disdain for the French.

I don't know how many men Lafayette brought with him for the American Revolutionary War, and I won't dispute your claim that the English Colonists did most of the fighting, but we would hardly expect the French to be able to match them man for man. But my question is this: Are you arguing that the French role was of absolutely no consequence, played no part in The American victory? ---in which case you are, in effect, saying their presence was symbolic only.

Was Alsace returned to the French only after the Germans were defeated in WWI? If so, what if any role did the French play in their defeat---especially in that specific region?

Weren't the Huguenots defeated under Henry IV (Henry of Navarre), himself a Huguenot, right, and who famously said, "Paris is worth a mass," upon conversion to Catholicism? (Or was their expulsion later. I know that Frederick the Great welcomed French Huguenots fleeing from France.)

Should it not also be said that the English would also have lost WWII without American aid?...the significant difference being the English never surrendered.

And should it not be said that what is true of France could be said of other countries from the South of Europe. Even Spain's conquests were in some measure attributable to the fact that the Hapsburg dynasty controlled much of what is now modern Spain and parts of Italy as well? These are not rhetorical questions; I am asking your take on it.

The French were wise to get out of Vietnam. They passed the albatross to Kennedy who then sowed the seeds for putting it around ours. And, of course, 58,000 dead later, we too were defeated.

Bush's War on Terror is a joke and the French were right to view it with skepticism. Apart from Britain, the major Western powers were absent in his so-called "international coalition." Unlike the Gulf War, the major world powers did not support our invasion of Iraq. We looked for a consensus in the UN and among the Western powers, but when none developed, we just unilaterally acted in keeping with our new, pre-emptive, strike-first policy (Cheney's 1% solution being partly the basis for it, and the designs of neo-cons, like Wolfowitz, Richard Pearl, et al. being yet another) . What's the legacy? A crushing debt for future generations ($500+ billion and counting?) and the enmity of the world. How tragic.

Methinks you miss the point. Did you not know it is a perfectly acceptable national sport to poke fun at the French? Oo la la..?! ;)

Of course I know! ....aided and abetted by our news media and entertainers. Jay Leno has a French joke nearly as often as a Michael Jackson or OJ one! lol! The news networks couldn't get enough of that "Freedom Fries" nonsense and I recall Peter Jennings grinning from ear to ear as ABC put the camera on a group of Georgia rednecks---in an act of high minded patriotism---pouring some French wine down a sewer.

Since Arab bashing is allowed---some might say encouraged--- in the USA as well, and because there are occasional stories of social unrest in France's Arab communities, the American media get a double play out of these. Hey, in one "in depth" report---lasting on average between 90-120 seconds--- NBC can point to the malevolent intentions of Arabs and show how incompetent the French are in containing these evils. This makes for a nice segue---after a commercial for a pharmaceutical company's latest anti-acid medication---to a story on the Middle East in which the malevolent intentions of Palestinians are contrasted with the noble intentions of the Israeli Government.

Finally, the news is capped off with a feel-good story about an unfortunate who is helped by a Hollywood movie star or sports celebrity. The viewer can turn off the TV convinced of the essential goodness of all Americans and wonder why we are not terribly well liked around the world right now. And for whatever reason, he knows the French have to be behind it!

You choose to watch Jay Leno over Charlie Rose? Sorry, I just can't believe it. :P

Lol! Don't spread it around, okay?!! :) If you can believe it, the benighted folks who run the local Public Television network here do not run Charlie Rose. They used to some years back, but then substituted some third-rate crap. Just one more event in the ongoing dumbing down of America.

As you're from the USA Melomane I will forgive you but it is British not English (plus obviously our other allies).

Mea culpa. Thank you for your forgiveness.

I never read the book, but just read a couple of brief reviews. I read the narrator of the story turns out to be a fiction. The author, Stephen Clarke, first published it under a pseudonym, but his true identity was revealed. Turns out Clarke, an Englishman, has lived in France for 11 years and I take it he is anything but a Francophobe.

I lived and worked in France (Paris) for two years. I had a very positive experience. The French are given a bad rap by Americans. For the most part, Americans know very little about France and the French, but they have strong opinions, which are grounded more in myth than reality. I found the French to be gracious and polite, very far from the stereotypical view Americans have of them. I am not exaggerating when I say I observed more impolite behavior and failure of manners on the part of American tourists in Paris than the other way around.

I've never rapped even one bad word about the French, thank you very much.

Good for you. The French have enough bad rappers. This is where I will tender a criticism. Rap music is bad enough, but French rap? Mon dieu!

n/a

I would guess the same. I love many of the great French singers from an earlier generation like Edith Piaf and later Jacques Brel (who was actually Belgian), but current French pop music is among the worst in the world. However, music from francophone Republic of Congo is among the best coming out of Africa. I will admit that since I don't care for rap in the first place, I am not well disposed to listening to French rap.

IAM's L' Ecole du Micro D'Argent and MC Solaar's Cinquieme As... They could be from Mars just as well as France for all I care, those two albums are just plain cool as hell.

Thank you for the details.. didn't know that..And even in the book, you can realise he's not a francophobe.. That's why I don't think the book would make someone change his/her mind about coming to France ;)
He didn't even mention the worse :))

Psy, I take it you are not French, but have lived in France for a while? May I ask where you are from originally?

n/a

yes...can u?

no he can not, for one he is incapable of anwsering his own questions and two he has never had interesting sex.

Ok, changing the habit. Yes my greatest experience was on a train, nothing quite beats the flashing lights off her body :)

did you bore him then?

I was going to say at your mom's, but that wouldn't be honest. Your mom's was really only the third most exciting!

Athiest :D

Although as you can see not too much of an athiest to refuse to take the day off work and celebrate Easter by eating lots of chocolate eggs.

Buddhist :))

I borrowed it as I wanted to feel what it was like to be intelligent for once.

But you can have it back because playing with my coloured crayons became no fun anymore and I also had this overwhelming desire to log onto my computer and chat to weird men from all over the world :(

it was fun, thanks :-)

lol You're welcome and the money came in handy too.

IMPY.... I think you lost it last time u went to class... you should go back and find it... hehehe

If you are going to copy a genius's work, at least get the imitation correct jackass

you are a touchy bastard aren't you?

You would be too if a degenerate tries to mimic you and totally fucks it up.

i missed the joke

You needn't bother. It's just That Wud... having a heated exchange with his doppleganger. lol!

first of all, it is a bit narcissistic to call urself a genius, isn't it? Especially when there is nothing genius about ur posts. So I have the next question for you.. Can you....

just give it a rest already? One or 2 posts might have been interesting, just for the simple fact that it was something different, but every day now? Find a hobby and give us all a break. We've earned it.

Go fuck yourself :-)

A self-professed genius could not come up with a more articulate response than that? I rest my case. You've had your 15 minutes in the limelight Mr. Wud, now hit the light switch on your way out the door. Can you... handle that?

look in the mirror and you see a jackass

someone that can't spell guess ?

You are an imposter. My question for tomorrow in 12 hours :)

ur imshy

aint me buddy

The day I visit a non-adult will be a miracle :D Espically one that looks like a "I only strip in 1-2-1" type.

As she is non adult 1-2-1 is the only place that she could strip.A lot better than a non adult host that doesn't strip at all.

She shouldn't be stripping in non-adult. by definition, it's not the place for it. The category descriptions say there is no nudity. If hosts are using the category that way, they are violating and misusing them.

get the nicest kinda guys here
