FineYoungSinger,
My goodness, more French. At least I know I'm correct in translating your comment. Merci beaucoups, or as young GIs stationed in France used to put it, "Mercy buttercups."

Mais oui, mon ami Tony
Hey, damned if it doesn't rhyme! I wasn't even sure I understood what you said because my French has become a little rusty after 30 years. What a delight to discover I can rhyme in French.

Hi, Matie
I tend to agree with you. I was stationed in France, not far from Paris, for about six months and knew a couple of Lotharios who could run rings around their frenchie counterparts (I'm being polite by using "frenchies" in place of "frogs"). But it's a handy storytelling convention.

Hi, Ri
Thanks for stopping by. I would have been over for a visit, but I haven't been feeling well. I don't think cute cat pictures would have helped, though you never can tell.

Ah oui, les francais, ce sont des amants magnifiques - n'est-ce pas?
Well, they probably aren't all like that.

Hahahahahaha
But I think 'the frenchman lover' thing is all a myth.
