I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Jess PMoon, Angel, not spoilery. I'm tempted to COMM the whole conversation, but that would get spoilery, and I'm lazy.
(And even if not, I don't think it's very likely that the puncture victim would sit up and say "Aha! I've only got one penis! Your threats mean nothing to me!")
Edit: and ita's followup:
No, but I might say "Moron! I have no penis! What the hell you gonna do now?"
And then lapse back into a pain laced half-consciousness.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My dad's point is really that people shouldn't take their impressions of France from what people normally see, i.e. a few days in Paris. They should get out in the country and meet some real people. It's like assuming everyone in the USA is an asshole from visiting a Fox Network Executives meeting.

In Natter, on the Freedom Fries initiative...
dareva:
My SO and I have been eating french fries like maniacs ever since we heard of the "freedom fries" stupidity. I mean, come the hell on! Just when I think people can't get any stupider (or would that be more stupid?).
Betsy:
Don't do it! You'll die of heart attacks and the jingoists will have won!
Use French ticklers instead.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Not funny, but worth repeating.
sarameg, in Natter:
How about we aim distain at those who chose to abuse the concept of responsibility, both mass responsibility and personal responsibility, invoking it when it suits them without taking any of it when it doesn't?
We all need to be responsible, as members of whatever group we associate with, and as individuals in our choices.

Daniel's take on the "Freedom Fries" thing:
OH, I went to buy some freedom toast,
and when I got there they had none,
They said I could have some freedom fries
As after 10 they had not one.
I opted then for salad,
and settled on the tossed
'Would you like freedom dressing?"
I said, "I'll take that sauce."
As my meal contiued on,
I surveyed the space near me
I spied some freedom vanilla coffee
and freedom crullers by the tea.
I thought of my dear freedom maid,
How her words were greek to me.
But she was quick to give a freedom kiss
And was a beautiful sight to see.
I end my walk at the grocery store
All the freedom products I could see
The Freedom's mustard, the freedom onions
and freedom cut green beans will all go home with me.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

We're calling Bureaucracy 'vegetable love' now? That's just fucking neat.
