I figured Jerome could print out the pictures and put them on his dartboard.

Out of the Dark Age came the most magnificent thing we have in our society: the recognition that people can have a society without having a state.

If you feel stressed about french people, use the fabulous compteur de claques.

Oooh, that was nice! I did Donnedieu de Vabres, Sarkozy, Philippe de Villiers, Pascal Nègre, et Benoît XVI.

Slap smack claque!

Thanks. Fascinating for so many reasons.

In 2' I get a glimpse of the VIP in France at the moment. I realized I lost contact, a good chunck were totally unknown to me, tipically the "starlettes" and reality show crowd.

You can see the international really famous in France: only few head of states, Bush, Merkel, Bin Laden, Cheney and rumsfeld (more smacks than Blair, is there more american democrat than english citizen reading french blog?), Berlusconi.
Plus some sportsmen Alonso and materazzi, Armstrong. Added with the hollywood (tom cruise, Arnie), Show-Bizz wins! We politic freaks are a minority.

I was surprised how many of the new faces in the Show-bizz have immigrant origines, it changed very fast in the last 5+ years.

The visitors are quite diverse: LePen (the classic MSM booh-man) get about the same magnitude of smacks this week as the secretaire général of the MRAP(anti-racism activist and wannabe politician).

La répartie est dans l'escalier. Elle revient de suite.

You're welcome.

I must admit that since I don't watch TV and don't listen to the radio and music, I'm a bit off also :).

To the stocks! Ripe tomatoes!

You'd waste good tomatoes on them?

Improvised I got too many tomatoes at the farmers market and need to eat them fast salad

Heirloom tomato plus cherry tomatoes, all cut up into little and medium pieces. Drop in bowl. Add a tiny bit of minced rosemary. Add salt and pepper. Add small chunks of leftover bread. Toss. Add remnants of some fresh Greek sheep's cheese, add olive oil, add half a sliced onion toss.  Take some good bacon, cut off a small slice, cut into little pieces, fry with garlic, onion, and good fresh hot pepper. Dump in salad. Toss some more. Realize you've got a bit of avocado about to go bad - you know what to do.  Then leave in fridge for an hour to chill and then eat.

Nice recipe! This time of year we have heaps of tomatoes, and before we can eat them or make sauce with them for the winter months, some of them go off, exhaling a nasty smell.

I was thinking of pitching some of those at these men in the stocks.
