French Surrender to a Virus

I'm sure there are special forums for people like you. Might I suggest Free Republic, Little Green Footballs, or similar? Then maybe we could see if you have anything remotely relevant to the Prius in that remaining 13%.

 

Man, you have got to get that xenophobia treated.

 

I guess it's easy to sit back and be an arm-chair quarterback and take cheap shots at the hard working French military from the comfy seat pulled up to your keyboard.

I'll have you know the mighty French army is currently engaged in an important mission in southern Lebonon. When the rest of the world is reluctant to send their soldiers in as a stabilizing force, the French have committed 96% of their entire military troop force to the effort. Last I heard, it was almost up to 200 of them.

The other 8 guys in their armed forces were to drunk to go.

 

If you actually think that was funny, I suggest you consult your nearest mental health practicioner.

 

Paranoia about germs is not limited to one's country. Perhaps you've heard of the US's fetish with antibacterial soaps, toys, toothpastes, mattresses, sponges, dog collars, etc.

Tangentally, is there any way to remove topics from the House of Pancakes in the RSS feed for priuschat.com?

 

Aw, c'mon - it's called "satire". Jeez, lighten up - if this was about Bush, you'd think it was a riot.

The French, although they would never publicly admit it, have instituted a 5 level security level system, similar to the one used in the United States.

Level 5 minimum - Pay no attention and maybe it will go away

Level 4 moderate - RUN!

Level 3 Serius - Hide

Level 2 Urgent - Surrender

Level 1 Desperate - Collabarate

The color scheme is simple - They are all yellow

Not so!

The earlier WWII system was only two steps.

Surrender!

Collabarate!

 

What is with you, Berman? Are the French now the flavour of the month to slander? I'm no psychiatrist, but you have some serious issues. Be miserable if you prefer, but don't take it out on the rest of the world. Take a break - go camping, walk on the beach, smoke a joint, get laid - whatever it takes to help you feel positive again. You're dragging down the whole site, and it's not pretty.

Sage advice, indeed. (Blushing a teensy bit over the 'get laid' part, though.)

Actually, I think the entire quote is:

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats, and have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940, when tea supplies all but ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to a "Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was during the great fire of 1666.

In addition, the French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in France are "Surrender" and "Collaborate." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France’s white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country’s military capability.

It’s not only the English and French that are on a heightened level of alert. Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout Loudly and Excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides."

The Germans increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbor" and "Lose."

Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual, and the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.

 

uh... they don't have rabies vaccine in france?

if you're not vaccinated, you're pretty damn smart to run away from a killer virus. leave it to someone uh... else... to send troops marching right on in without proper equipment

 

Now, that last effort from Tempus managed to be actually funny, rather than offensive. Even the French bit. Nice one. :lol:
