True. But it's also true that we have too much art to enjoy it properly. We're very strict with ourselves nowadays.You fucking philistine.![]()

Before low-cost-airlines, we used to alternate between Amsterdam and Paris for our two or three day excursions. Travel overnight there and back. Jump on the train, jump on the boat, jump on the train and you were there. You could get a through ticket to Paris, but had to buy a ticket to Amsterdam at the Hook. The Dutch spoke very good English, which improved our English; the French wouldn’t speak English, which improved our French. Missed the ‘événements’ by a month, but you could still catch the odd glimpse of the CRS beating the tar out of their countrymen.I strongly recommend you avoid the Champ-de-Mars and the Eiffel Tower; it is completely overrun by people selling tourist tat and pickpockets. Sacré-Cœur is beautiful, so is the Pantheon. Notre-Dame might be open again in which case you have to go. Look for the stalls selling paintings near Pont Neuf, there is often beautiful stuff for sale there for not-very-much. Papilla (9 Rue Soufflot) does really nice pasta. Montparnasse Cemetery is nearby too.
I love Paris, especially when you get out of the touristy hellholes and explore the little back streets of the old city.
If you go to the Sacré-Cœur, take the little Montmartre Funicula up instead of climbing the 222 steps of Rue Foyatier, I wish someone had told me that!The wife and I have booked a trip to Paris. Despite all our travels, we've never been there together.
Maybe I should try that too, because I can’t seem to find the motivation for my daily walks, even though they’re much better for my health.A good audiobook is the perfect carrot to make me go on my daily walks. Nearing the business end of "The Lord of the Rings" now.
Great tip, thanks!If you go to the Sacré-Cœur, take the little Montmartre Funicula up instead of climbing the 222 steps of Rue Foyatier, I wish someone had told me that!
Fortunately I expect the weather won't be nice enough to sit outside.And keep in mind that sitting at a terrace is more expensive than ordering or sitting inside.I love Paris, but after a few days I would’ve been nearly bankrupt if someone hadn’t told me that.
I have the official Sithrak Tracts somewhere around.Oglaf is the best thing on the internet. I converted to Sithrak years ago. It makes everything else bearable.
Ouch! Good luck!I had a cervical spinal fusion about a year ago of C5 through C7. The hardware shifted and there was still a bone spur impinging on the spinal cord, so I'm going in for a surgery today to correct both. Wish me luck!

May your surgeons be competent, and may you not remember the surgery chatter. Also, good luck.I had a cervical spinal fusion about a year ago of C5 through C7.

Nothing as jarring as a Surgeon and Anesthetist having a debate over which ER drugs give the best trip while the latter is putting you under...may you not remember the surgery chatter.
Not really. Using Lit as a barometer, I’ve got to go with tentacle dude. I’ve seen a lot more tentacle porn on here than flaming scull stuff. I figure that means Cthulhu give me a better chance to get laid, doesn’t it?So, angry flaming scull dude, vs sexy tentacle dude. Hmmm, hard choice.
Well, this is undeniably true. But... there's just something about a flaming skull.Not really. Using Lit as a barometer, I’ve got to go with tentacle dude.

Yeah, I do have this Nick Cage fantasy thing, with a cameo by Sam Elliott.Well, this is undeniably true. But... there's just something about a flaming skull.
