Paris Under Attack!

[Chanson_bleu]

Got this from a friend on the Continent today and laughed my ass off!

I'm tempted not to translate it, but I'm sure there would be too much wailing and gnashing of teeth if I didn't...

PARIS UNDER ATTACK! A Belgian terrorist in a hang glider has just launched himself into the Montparnasse tower. Death toll: 1

(Note: The Belgians are the butt of many French jokes about their low intelligence and propensity to eat French fries. Hence the joke, "Why do Belgian women have square nipples? To teach their babies how to eat French fries.")

You can't use the IMG tags with a picture on your harddrive. You need to attach those pictures. (after resizing down to less than 100K and 800x600 pixels.)

LOL, well I'm only giving them 3 out of 10 effort

Now, now...

Someone i like very much thinks Chanson_bleu is a wonderful person and a good writer. That's good enough for me. Besides, if you don't know the girl, why bad talk her?

Additionally, just cuz she's a virgin doesn't mean she's ignorant or incapable or stupid or any of those things. It only means she hasn't posted here very much, yet. One of the best people i know (Creidhne/MS) is still a virgin, and may remain so for a very long time to come.

Let's err on the side of kindness, shall we?

Without wishing to upset you Cym, don't you think not checking "your own" threads come out alright is lazy, I know I do.

If they couldn't get the pic to work they could have at least said "sorry" or asked for help.

 

[Chanson_bleu]

I'M SORRY!

The big problem is that I can see my image! I had no idea that it didn't post correctly! I have no idea what I did wrong! Mea culpa! Outsider, it truly wasn't laziness - it looked fine to me in the preview and still shows up when I open this thread (because the image is on my hard drive.) Please tell me exactly how to get it to work, if you know.

Cym, thank you so much for your kind words. I appreciate your benefit of the doubt.

And the bummer is, it's a funny post!

It was the very complimentary words said to me about you months ago by our mutual friend - she who lives on a boat and is going to have a baby - that made me sure you'd not be one to post in haste and never check back again, Chanson.

Apparently the link only works for you, though. That much is true. I hope you get it fixed.

Ok here's what you do, hit the "post reply" button then type your message or if you don't want to type anything you can just put a full stop on the page and that'll be enough, then hit the "browse" button at the bottom of the page then open the image and then hit the submit button, don't hit the preview button or the image won't come out.

Hope this helps.

OUTSIDER: OK, Here We Go Again!

The only thing I did wrong the first time was to Preview it again, which I won't do this time. Someone may want to make a note of that in FAQs for us silly virgins who don't know any better! I appreciate the info and the chance to redeem myself!

(Jeez, I hope you all like this so it's worth it!)

Now if I could just find the right avatar so I could join your club...

 

[Starfish]

LoL. That's funny.

Where in the hell would you hangglide off of in Paris?
What is that tower? Did the glide off of that? Is that superimposed? Am I a dumb American?

 

[Chanson_bleu]

C'est vrai!

HEY IT WORKED! YOU CAN SEE IT! VIVE LA FRANCE!

Starfish, that really is a building in Paris, albeit one of the uglier ones. It's the Montparnasse Tower which sits over a big rail station. Now, about the hang glider... He must have jumped off the Eiffel Tower, I'm sure! Or flew all the way from Belgium - yeah, that's it!

Sent it to my sis...she speaks french
