I think the closest you get in France is Coligny during the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre. Although there may have something in the Middle Ages.
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

Jason Whitlock is an ass, always has been. He thinks provoking people is a good career path. I remember when he first started writing for the KCStar, and he's always been like that.

I hate laundry. I want a laundry elf.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I want a laundry elf.
When you're done with him, send him my way, please.

I'm not always sure that it is possible to eat less. sometimes eating less slows metabolism.
Yeah, now that you mention it, I realize that I've been figuring how much I can eat based on a sedentary lifestyle, not an active one. Which, DUH.
I feel like ordering an enormous pizza to apologize to my metabolism.

I would gladly be someone's laundry elf in exchange for time spent vacuuming up the fleas. On the plus side, mr. flea (heh. ggrrr.) is a really thorough and careful cleaner. Much better than me. If only he did this kind of cleaning more than, oh, once every 15 years, we'd have a spotless house.

sometimes eating less slows metabolism.
Yeah, that's generally the way it goes. The body does not like to think that it is losing out on calories so it tends to hang on like hell to them once it works out that's what's happening. Evolutionary tic to help against starvation.

“Not dead yet!”
I would be a really thorough and careful cleaner if I actually, you know, cleaned. One of the reasons I don't do a lot of heavy duty cleaning around the house is because I'd be just this side of OCD about it, only to have someone thoughtlessly come through and Mess. It. Up. right away.
I'd rather budget money for someone else to clean once a week and keep what's left of my sanity intact.

My brother just offered to burn down my new deck for me. Wonder how his deck faired this 4th....
