That would explain my odd desire for warm beer, boiled meat, and a spanking. How did this homopatriation take place?

It's a reference to the French news headline on 12 September four years ago, and also a reference to events in London today.

*blinks*
*looks at manuscript*
Something happened in London...?
*scurries off to CNN & BBC*
Perhaps I should pay some attention to what is happening outside of my skull.

Dear Fucking Gawd. "Mind the gap," indeed.

I find the short time period between those two posts slightly amusing. I can imagine the news is crawling all over the story like worms in manure.

It's rather difficult to tell, in newsprint, if somebody is smirking. However, I suspect that the worldwide concern and sympathy was indeed heartfelt.

Are you sure it was "Aujourd'hui nous sommes tous américains"
and not, "Aujourd'hui nous crachons sur des Américains"
or even "Aujourd'hui nous passons le gaz dans votre direction générale"

After breaking up with my first girlfriend, I went out of my way to forget any French I might have learned. Some days I have trouble remembering what 'laissez faire' means. (:

"Today we spit on americans." and "Today we pass gas in your general direction."

:P

And it was the pre-pre-emptive war era. So I would consider it much more likely.

...I always have a craving for warm beer, boiled meat and spankings...

You just wanna see what happens when two people drink warm beer, eat boiled meat and start in with the spankings.

So there were going to be a few webcams involved. Big deal. Mmmm. Happy place.

Wait...someone was going to take pictures of my boils warming while spanking my meat and drinking beer?

...I am so confused. But, I feel strongly that Bridgette will have some thoughts on this issue.

You've been on my friends list for how long? Hopefully this does not come as a surprise. (:

Hey, I didn't go running outside yelling "FIRE! FIRE!" or anything, did I? :)
