You know more than me, we know more than you, and wherever this all going, we're going there together.
Go ahead .. say whatever it is that you have to say. It’s also useful to remember that we’re mostly all the same and appreciate a minimum of decency and respect.

No doubt those cheese-eating surrender monkeys will eventually get involved in many a cyber-shelling back-and-forth with the Fighting 101st Keyboarders.
They’ll probably get all intellectual and introspective and shit, too. Just like French films. Hollywood is just so much better, obviously.
But not for me … I am in permanent love with France, the rude incivility and superiority complexes of Parisians, the fact that they proudly maintain L’academie de la langue francaise, French women, French wine, baguettes, 1667 at 9h00 in the morning at a stand up bar, their museums, bistros, boules …
If I had more money, I would go and live there … still may. Montreal’s the next best thing, and I have lived there, go back often and wish I lived there now.

Let’s say you had a lineup of naked women (no objections so far, I’d reckon.) All are the same age and all are completely naked — no makeup, polish, jewelry, tatooing — naked. For some damn reason they are not made any more uncomfortable than they might normally be by standing in this lineup. No speaking.
There is a native born woman from each member state of the EU plus one from Canada and one from the US.
Q How well would you do pegging their nationalities?
Q Could you *definitely* pick out the French girl?
You may take up to an hour to complete your mission. Go.
(p.s. I don’t think I would do very well at this, but I’d certainly be willing to give it a try…)

It’s not really a fair challenge you’ve set, af. I went out wwith a gal for a couple of years who was from the finisterre part of Brittany, followed by living with a Parisienne for a few years. Neither could speak English much. Then several years after that, I had a apetit aventure with une belle Quebecoise .. etc. So while I haven’t a huge sampling of experience, arguably I have had deep and intense experience that has lasted over several years.
So, yes, I am pretty sure I could pick out that little sassy frenchie purty kwik.

Yes, that is good. I envy you, fancy pants…
