Don't you speak French JD? Or were all the fun and helpfull phrases I put in this thread actually not useful.

Tolkien didn't say French was stupid Wayfarer!

Or did he... nah...

Why JD, you turn with the wind! First you want to go to France and change your title, avatar and signature accordingly. And now you're back to disliking French? Mon ami, you're not making it easy on us.

Maybe JD just likes the French beaches. And the women.

NO -they were helpful. I took French because I'm interested in languages Also - I want to keep an ear out on anything that they might be saying against America


But I have studied on my own or in school -

Latin
Spanish
French
Russian
Italian
Swedish doesn't count because I don't think I had enough time to get passed the "pronunciation" page - well I did check out the "hi and bye" chapter too.

Anyway - there isn't really anyway to keep fresh on the languages. Working on the Russian Yellow pages - although I could make out the country names and things in the Russian alphabet - I discovered - I've pretty much lost almost everything I knew about Russian.

Eärniel - if I made it easy on you - everyone would think something was wrong. You'd get bored too.

The French language is weak. It's boring. It's a sissy language.

Ah, notre diable favorite aimes les belles filles Française? Les belles filles de Entmoot ne sont pas assez belle pour toi?

I'll bump the language thread and we can talk about Swedish! I'm trying to learn to speak it at the moment. (LOL at your comments on pronounciation. It's the Ks and Gs that do me in. )

I'm going to copy everything here and save for prosperity what my sig and location, etc were changed to - this way SGH can restore me back to my full American greatness.

Great Quotes of Jacques Chirac

"Finally, a safer world presupposes the revival of the virtuous circle of non-proliferation of weapons and disarmament."

"The construction of Europe is an art. It is the art of the possible."

"France is doing everything it can, but the problem is that it is impossible to stop Bush from pursuing his logic of war to the end."

"One can go to war alone, but you can't build peace alone."

I have decided, because BoP requested, to put back my little Devil avatar. He just looks too cute to be in political fights - so we'll have to see how long he lasts.

Sorry Gal - I had changed the french flag avatar that you had found to this one I posted here and I forgot to save it. Otherwise I would have had both shown.

LOL

You should keep Vive la France, or maybe add Frenchie to your super long normal title. I know... Darth Freddie is important to you.

Hmmmm - I might consider dropping the Founder of the Great Continent of Entmoot one in exchange for the Vive la France one. Won't that confuse newbies. Bitching about France and having "Vive la France" in my title.

Woohoo! But you know JD, therein lies the deception... It looks way to cute to spew at people, and this way you can swoop in and knee-cap unsuspecting induhviduals.

oh - don't think I haven't thought of that angle of it. People see the mild manner little devil - and then all of a sudden he turns into taz.

Meh... in the words of Tater (paraphrase) screw newbies!

Now that the Continent of Entmoot has done an Atlantis, it would be way funnier if you kept Vive la France.

Maybe even keep a couple Chirac quotes in your sig! Muahaha...

Yeah - not enough new members coming to join the game to keep it alive. Oh well - it would have been more active if we were able to actually make it more interactive the way I had planned with subforum.

I may change his quotes to the many snide comments he makes to people around the world though. These don't really show the TRUE Chirac - these sort of sugarcoat him.

LOL JD! He really said those things! Even your political foe can have cool quotes. You could alternate a nice comment with a mean comment - then people would really get confused.

Yeah, sorry about the Entmoot Continent thing. But we did get a subforum for a while... At any rate, it's now immortalized in the Archives.
